Peg and Al move to '80s Ireland, have 3-5 more children, ignore them 99% more, and have sketch show like adventures such as simultaneously performing MacGyver and Golden Girls at the gunpoint of not-IRA, but IRA-adjacent, like how lettuce is part of a taco but is not a taco. The analogy is not supposed to make sense.
The deeper into this series you go, the more they give up on any sitcom continuity and it becomes more like a sketch show with a sitcom thread holding it together. It makes for more ridiculousness but also prevents feeling sad for any of the characters' misfortunes.
Their friends are a hoot, and at first I thought I recognized Frank and the Father, but I was mistaken. I blame Airwolf and Concepta's cleavage. Fun supporting cast, and just a delightful, often outrageous, sketchy sitcom.
I looked up the two leads and was disappointed they haven't done much since! I'd gleefully watch a Season 5 or another project of theirs. If they showed Bridget's brand of cigarettes every time she smoked, they could have funded projects for life.
If you are binge watching the series with some friends, you must take a shot every time they say "choppy-changey".
Subtitles were most welcome.
