I wanted to like this show. There is a good cast, beautiful West of Ireland locations, however the story just lets it down so badly.
Every episode seems to be be written in a formulaic manner to point the blame at a different family member. The sub-plots are so numerous and dramatic that it appears as if the writers just threw every possible trope into a blender, thinking "the more, the merrier".
It leads to a rambling show, with too much going on. You find yourself not caring for even one character. They've even ruined my image of "The Irish Lamb Man".
Watch for the scenery. The story is dreadful.

I genuinely think this is a beautiful series. Crime and family drama interwoven. Some people saying that this is so boring and slow-paced is such a sign of the times. Everything has to be fast, full of action and solved within a 30-minute episode. This isn't that. This takes time to percolate, to show different sides, to reveal memories, to cleverly create many suspects, to show beautiful scenery in all kinds of weather, to build characters. Very, very atmospheric, well-acted and beautiful.
I found this drama watchable, but never found it genuine or credible, it's just a soap really. The characters all take their turns at being savage, sulky or regretful. They all seem to have something to be angry about, and specialize in blaming each other without restraint. So this is family life? The most impressive things about the series are (1) the fabulous family house, and (2) the dramatic coastal scenery of Western Ireland. I doubt the latter will do anything to boost tourism, though, as it appears the weather is unrelentingly dreadful.
At first there is just too much put on the plate so it comes off a bit confusing. It gets better as it goes along but it never does bring you out of your seat... but the acting is good and it is somewhat entertaining.
I binge watched this series as I found it to be compelling viewing. This has to be the most crazy, mixed up, co-dependant family I have ever seen. Just when you thought there could not possibly be more secrets and lies more appear. There are no endearing traits about any of these people, they manage to create drama after drama, lie through their teeth, and undermine each other. They seem to thrive on their way of life. Of course there are always the tables groaning with food and the huge glasses of wine, most of them are never in a scene without a glass of wine. Having said all that it was very watchable.

- WissenswertesOne of the writers for the series is from the village of Lahinch which was the primary filming location. The producers picked the location without knowing it was her hometown. Also note the village is Lahinch not Lehinch, the "e" spelling was inflicted on the village by the national roads authority about a decade ago along with changing the spellings of numerous other towns and villages around Ireland but the most extreme examples all happened in county Clare. So when the filming locations are listed the spellings may or may not match those used by the local residents.
