Martin Moone is a young boy who relies on the help of his imaginary friend Sean to deal with the quandaries of life in a wacky small-town Irish family circa 1990.
When ideas have a heart, this kind of comedies come to life.
This may be one of the funniest -really funny, heart warming and cozy series I've seen. And I suppose there are reasons for it to be so good. David (Martin-Martin) is not an actor and comes across as the most believable boy ever (maybe above Nick H. as Marcus in About a Boy). Another very strong one is that most people are from the region, and Boyle becomes part of the characters.
Definitely, O'Dowd's connection with the land (the soil, in fact) is so deep that it really shows off in each episode. Paul's (Dad) character is amazing.
Positive, funny, family oriented. A plain joy to watch. Let's hope the job they did for the third season comes out of the can. I suppose Sky1 is not "that" happy with something.
