This is probably one of the funniest series ever to come out of RTE.
It has the awkwardness of The Office (before The Office was made) and a similar production style.
It follows two convicts on their release from prison. One an inner city ne'erdowell wannabe rapper called Ratser, the other a once prominent gynaecologist called Jeremy Fitzgerald.
Michael McElhatton and Brendan Coyle give stellar performances with characterizations that are exaggerated enough to be funny yet remain familiar enough as to be people that we might actually know and with whom we can actually relate.
From Ratser's disillusionment with a lack of Celtic Tiger in his personal economy and smug Jeremy's fall from grace and social standing it provides us with clever, well acted humour that executes the mock docu-drama style perfectly in showing the posh side and not so posh side of Dubliners.
Deirdre O'Kane also chimes in with an excellent performance as Jeremy's long suffering wife who happens to like a glass or three of prosecco.
It is funny. Go watch.

Brilliant, sharp, intelligent and most importantly funny comedy, that bathes all sides of Dublin society in an equally critical light.A pleasant surprise from a station that brought us "Upwardly Mobile" and......well, thats about it really.Roll on the video release.
