Nothing scheduled
Is it for me?
Soap-opera scandal with a Succession streak, for viewers happy to have their history played loose. At the funeral, Fenian protesters stir up the street while the siblings eye the brewery. Modern music plays over rain-soaked Dublin. Jack Gleeson makes Byron Hedges sly and unpleasant, and every scene he is in picks up.
Before you start
The pace is brisk from the start, but the siblings' storylines mostly run apart, so give it a few episodes to settle.
