Five episodes in, it's amusing with some potentials for greatness. The father-in-law/dad relationship is a fricking riot, the head nun could have her own show with just her reactions to things, everyone giving James so much shite even though he's the nicest and most level-headed among them... good stuff.

I’m so glad I saw this thread because I had never heard of it. I definitely love the humor but the last scene of season 1 is what stayed with me. It was unexpected and so emotional to see the contrasts in the events. Also, whoever said you’d really appreciate it if you were a teen during this time was spot on.

I hope to finish season 2 tomorrow.

Hmmmm I don't understand this but I guess give it another shot.

Irish accents can be off putting, and humor isn't universal...but this is as well done a show as i can remember. Stick with it until you know the characters.

The episodes are less than 30 minutes long, if you seriously can't give it 4 episodes to see (two hours of your life), then I don't know what to say.

I feel the opposite. I find them quite humorous and frank.

They do a great job of allowing the undercurrent of danger to be constantly present while delivering a very funny product.

Did not see that coming at all

Holy shite. This show is absolutely fricking hilarious.

It’s absurdly great. Highly recommend it.



Im two episodes into the first season and holy fricking shite. Thank you very much for recommending this. Going to enjoy laughing my balls off to this program and Jamie-Lee O'Donnell as Michelle Mallon is an absolute hoot.

Thank you for this thread. I’ve been passing it over but good lawd is it funny. Wife and I are hooked. Definitely need subtitles and I’m pretty good at understanding Irish accents but there is lots of slang I would have missed without them.
And Sister Micheal is Hi-larity!

Decided to give it a shot because of this thread.

I found episodes 1 and 2 funny enough to give the entire show a watch. Episodes 3 and 4 were HILARIOUS.

Haven’t watched past that but I love the show already.

Have it a shot last night. Definitely funny and I don't usually get into comedies anymore. I usually work while watching TV at night so I normally wouldn't be able to keep up, but I think I'll use this show as a short break from working. Hopefully it won't keep me from working.
