Dublin Murders

It's a very complex, multi layered mystery, there are lots of strands, and lots of jumping back in forth in time, so don't think you can watch this and fiddle with your phone, you have to concentrate as you could easily lose it.

It isn't going to be for everyone, because it is dark, it's bleak, and does contain some very tough to watch scenes. It has been criticised for being ambiguous, but I would argue that all loose ends are tied up, the last scene provides a lot of answers.

The only real dip comes in Part 6, the only episode I didn't like, the best, the following episode, as so often, it's the penultimate episode that I enjoyed most of all.

Terrific acting, Sarah Greene and Killian Scott are both incredible, they are well supported by a great cast.

I'm someone that always loves a continuation of a series, but in this instance I'd be disappointed if they brought it back, this needs to be left alone. Gripping, 8/10

I have watched over 30 Such Shows. They all share common things apart from murder and mystery. This was no different with vulnerable cops with a past and ties to murder investigation. Starts off as a regular who killed the Girl found in the woods. Then after 1st Episode just drags on. Past, Demons inside Head, etc. There are some really good moments in between but something seems off. Show really redeems itself in last 2 Episodes. To an extent that there is a Shock value and disbelief coupled by some really great acting. Good editing could have made it a more compact 6 Episodes. Its the last 2 hours that make the show worth watching. Production Values are good. Acting is top notch. The Police Chief(Varys from GoT) is excellent. There's tonnes of Irish-English banter and some cracking one-liners. The atmosphere is mostly dark. The leads pull off a good performance but the lady cop character is bit off a let down. Apart from that Show is worth watching if you know how to skip meaningless content in between

I just finished binge watching this. It starts off slow as the story unravels its characters. It seems like a pretty simple whodunnit, but its not. The characters are flawed and have dark pasts which interweave beautifully with the main plot and just when you think you have it all worked out.... another bread crumb appears and like Hansel and Gretel you cant help yourself... You follow. I wont give anything away, but i hope they do a season 2... Special appearance by one of my favourite Game of Thrones characters and the acting is superb

I really do not understand the negative reviews here. I may be a little biased as I am a Tana French fan and find her books some of the best crime novels around at the moment. However, I am not a Sarah Phelps fan after the mess she made of the Javier Falcon novels when she adapted those for TV. In this case, though, she seems to be on to something. The books are slow burners with a psychological tinge that eats into the dialogue and sets up the characters and their relationships. The relationship between Rob and Cassie is rendered pretty well. They have also included a couple of things that are not in the book that seem to work well. Frank stalking Cassie is a logical way to link to the next instalment and a great way to introduce a wonderful character. Well, two episodes in and it all looks good to me. For those that are looking for a standard police thriller kind of thing, don't bother. It was not written that way and the TV show looks pretty close to the book, so far. For those that like twisted, heart-wrenching, psychological drama, stay with it. I can already see that this is going to stay pretty close to what the author intended.

Irish folklore: check Whodunnit: check Complex characters: check Twisty romance: check Cop banter: check Awesome accents: double check

This was really good, watch it - don't listen to the negative reviews.
