WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING?
A delightful series about a group of friends in 1990s Ireland. The acting between the main characters along with the funny and engaging script make this show a must-watch. It is able to be lighthearted, but it also delves into politics and relationships in a very thoughtful, real, and important way.
This show is incredibly funny and each episode is so well-paced and unpredictable. The characters and actors are all great. I especially enjoy Sister Michael. It's also really impressive, and pretty distinctive, how the show demonstrates the impact of the Troubles on the characters' lives while showing the other things that they focus on day to day.
