    • Trivia
      21 year old Ben Carolan (who was the band manager Darren in Sing Street 2016) was cast as drug lord Eammon Cunningham's baby faced hit man/assassin Glen Wright. During the filming of a scene in a restaurant in South Dublin, Ben rushes from the street into the restaurant pursuing Charlie Cox acting as his targeted rival gang member Michael Kinsella with a fake gun showing but he came to the attention of the actual real Irish Gardai (Police) who briefly gave him chase thinking he'd perpetrated a real armed robbery until they realized it was a TV series set.

    First Season Was Ok, Second Meanders Into Melodrama
    While first season had some good moments despite many completely ridiculously silly decisions and plot holes every where, it did deliver some entertainment. The writers obviously had zero knowledge or experience with the genre, I doubt they ever saw The Wire or Sopranos or if the had, they did not take notes. Average barely ok.

    But second season goes completely off balance, mostly just relationship melodrama, everyone instantly become sheep, the gang/criminal story doesnt move anywhere or barely and it is all force drama. Unlike Sopranos where family life and criminal activity were in nice equilibrium.

    Each season getting worse, and the first one was not good anyway, while also losing story pace, not evolving any story elements, all that is happening is almost getting to a point of an add for help line for teenagers abused and/or bullies. Simply ridiculous.

    Bring back the core of the show, bring back charismatic characters that dare do stuff, bring back action and story events each episode.

    Otherwise just cancel it already.
