Surprisingly entertaining
wiredarp10 September 2021
Wasn't expecting much at all and was pleasantly surprised. It was nice to not be able to predict where the story was going. While its not Oscar winning acting and budget, there was enough grit and heart to hold my attention for all 6 episodes.

It does suffer a little from having quite a few characters who resemble each other a bit, so it can take a while to sort one group from the other.

Nothing you'd rave about, but solid storytelling.

Waste lands...
moody-063838 November 2019
Who the hell thinks this rubbish is anywhere near Love Hate??? Obviously the same people who watch Fair City and think it's good tv... Darklands is one of the worst things I've seen on TV, the acting from 90% of the cast is scandalous, the storyline/screenplay is so dull and obvious like a million things we've all seen before, nothing original about any of it but still manages to be worse then any previous similar type series. I mean seriously how can anyone watch this tripe and not be shocked by the overall lack of talent from most of the actors, it's simply brutal, my god I've even kept watching it up to 5th episode almost in disbelief as to how bad it continues to be. I am actually amazed at how two previous reviews here have praised it... all I can say to that is wow!!!

Shocked at bad reviews

It mist be hard to please some people. I watched all of season 1 and thoroughly enjoyed it. The acting was fine and I thought pretty realistic mostly so im not sure why people are saying otherwise. I watch A LOT of television so feel qualified to recommend this series to any readers. Enjoy.

Pretty Awful
beany_jazz8 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The fact people write shows like this and expect to make it believable mean one of two things..... Either the directors/writers are targeting a brain-dead audience, or the people making the show are that themselves.

The acting....It's honestly like watching a load of bloopers which have made it to the outtakes, only they're not funny and the acting is that bad you actually end up thinking you could be an actor yourself.

Examples of the dreadfulness of this show:- The UFC Fight

1)When has anybody in UFC history ever done ridiculous moves like that in a fight? I honestly though I was watching Karate Kid 4 for a minute.

2) The kid looks about 5 stones lighter than his opponent, he struggles to make weight yet Ol' Tubby (who somebody even shouts 'fat b....' at is allowed to fight.

3) The kid's at school....And he's fighting an adult.....

Every single scene is like this, I couldn't believe I made it through the first episode and started the second, I kept thinking 'it can't get worse'......It continued to stay dreadful.

I've given it a 2, it would've been a 1 but because of reading the comments I found the show Love/Hate which I honestly put up there with The Wire and Boardwalk Empire, it was absolutely amazing compared to this bilge, and to think people are comparing LH to this is astonishing.......

I don't even want my hour back I wasted watching this show, as it's probably in my top 5 worst shows of all time.

Please don't waste your time with it........Better counting worms in the garden

Stop comparing

It's not supposed to be love hate. It's a low budget series that's using new talent for its first season. Go back to the start of many shows you like and you'll notice the quality is horrendous compared to where it is now.

Wbat a senastional series, please bring us more

Slightly slow to get going, but if you stick with it by the end of episode 3 you will just need to keep the play buitton and watch the next episode.

I am not being ciritcal of the slow start, you need that to understand the ins and outs of the two gangs...

I found myself crying with Damo, and crying with his girlfriend, WOW just WOW

Being from Doncaster, a town which lost a promising young boxer to mob gang culture one who was about to turn pro or have pro opportunities, watch this series and the young lad[ERM READ THIS BACK I THINK ITS A SPOILER, SO REMOVED THE TEXT.... but then he finds ...... cant spoil it........ this seems very close to what happened in Donny last year....

Whatever though.... Young talents lost. Please bring a series 2 please let us watch Damo develop and move away from this....

I enjoyed it Thought it was a good series The young lad playing Damian for his first acting role did a great job.

Decent storyline with a few twists and would watch a second series.
