Connections Featured in Reeling in the Years: User reviews 36 Review. Top review. The Dark Side of Dublin. I rarely write reviews but I felt this show deserved one. I've watched many shows over the years from a range of different countries and it's intriguing to see how gangland wars and drugs are portrayed in each one.

I put this show off for a couple of years until this year and I wanted to binge- watch the show like I do with some shows I find hoping to find a hidden gem. Being from Ireland its not hidden how and ever it IS a total gem. I'm proud to say Ireland has produced one of the greatest crime dramas ever. The show is based upon Dublin's criminal underworld whereby it depicts drug addiction, squalor and violence of organised crime that has grown post Celtic tiger era in Ireland. The above is a synopsis of the first episode and immediately portrays how raw the show is.

Tom Vaughan-Lawlor nidge is amazing throughout. He is one of the most slimiest characters ever. Watch it. I promise you, you won't be disappointed. Wexicano Oct 19, Details Edit.

We meet Git Loughman and his son Daniel. We get to see the inner machinations of the republican splinter group, as well as its control and power over areas of Dublin.

IRA man Dano. But now Nidge et al need to play dumb and attempt to convince the republicans that the man just disappeared. Nidge and Darren in a spot of bother. The IRA funeral scene is a brilliant moment — capturing how those responsible for the death are the same ones paying their respects.

Fran, Dean and Andrew in a bit of a kerfuffle. With the walls closing in, Nidge finds himself inside a jail cell as he releases all his frustration on himself.

Nidge has to go to him as he has run out of money and needs drugs on credit to rebuild an empire which had crashed to the ground. Patrick the pipe bomb maker with his family. All of this wraps neatly together in a final instalment which left most viewers screaming at their tellies, including this writer even the second time around as the final few frames played out.

The gritty drama, written by Stuart Carolan, hit home with viewers as it reflected the reality of gangland Dublin. And now the hit show is returning to screens a decade after it first aired, giving RTE viewers a chance to catch up on all the drama. At the time it was criticised for glamourising violence, as the show became the biggest to air on RTE — pulling in record viewers each week. But his love affair with Rosie Ruth Negga , who is in a violent relationship with another gang member Stumpy, complicates matters.

John Boy double crosses Fran Peter Coonan after a container of drugs is busted by cops and he retaliates. And Darren, who is also disillusioned with John Boy, plots with Nidge to take down the brutal gangster.
