We’ve just finished season two of Kin on I player, think I’ve just seen one of the best gangster shows since The Wire…
Anyone else watching or watched it?

watched 2 episodes of series 2
Slightly crap tv when the granddad takes the grandson for a drive about the fields in the bmw .
The BMW is a brand new 3 series and then when the grandson thrashes it it's about 2 or 3 versions previous and then back to the new one when they park up.
Only thing similar was they were both silver.
Apart from that yes it's bloody good.
I was bugged when the new BMW pulled up in one scene, and you then hear the loud ratcheting sound as he pulls on the handbrake! Eh.... a manual handbrake on a new 330d? Dont think so!Quote:

"Love Hate" was another similar one from a few years back. Dublin based.. same theme.
It’s great my mrs says the second series is a bit chavy though
I binged it as soon as I found it on iPlayer - series one was excellent and I thought series two even better
The da is a right piece of work.
Can’t believe the lad who plays Michael is the same guy who plays Matt Murdock in Daredevil, knew I recognised him from something but couldn’t place him. Same as the guy who plays Bren, last saw him in the movie Layer Cake, plays Paul the boatman. Have to say I really enjoyed it, both series tbf.Quote:

Yeah, have binged both series and totally enjoyed it.
Far far better than the trash that was Gangs of London, that stole part of my life that I'll never bet back.

ill try love hate as mentioned above, any other recs?
Christ, aint thats the truth...Quote:

Cant say i was that impressed with S1 a bit too obvious and irratitingly obvious 2d characters.
Picked up for the last few eps of S1 though.
Is S2 better then?
We finished S2 last night. Good series.
Apparently there are doubts that series 3 will happen despite supposedly being filmed alongside series 2. The production company/financier went bankrupt last year:Quote:

Good show, but miles behind Love Hate in my opinion
Ha. And I thought I was the only one. Really struggled to get to the end of the second episode and won't be watching any more. Life's too short.Quote:

Aside from that, love it.

As a Dubliner, I sat down to watch Kin with high expectations.
Poor plot, wooden acting, cartoon action, one-dimensional characters - we watched one episode and gave up.
Agree also for me love hate was much better than Kin.
Watching Blue lights from the BBC atm which is also very good

Starting watching Love Hate last week we are on series three now, really enjoying it. It’s a lot more gritty then Kin.Quote:

Way he’s series one and two recently and although at the time I thought this is ok upon reflection I’d give season 3 a miss if it did come out. As others have said, one dimensional characters and unbelievable storylines. Carrying out murders while your house is under police guard and the whole of the police force looking at you? Really far fetched…
