Came across this by accident. Made to coincided with the centenary of the Easter Rising it had mixed reviews. Not enough history, too much soap?

But in a different way is not as bad as the Gallows Pole.

Sort of early sunday evening viewing! Lovely costumes and sets (Dublin looking amazing) and light touches of troubled times ...

But as I have only seen episode 1 it could get a bit darker.

Just to say maybe the first episode was more about introducing the characters, who will later be involved or impacted by the Rising.

Apparently there was a second series so must have had some good reaction and reviews.

I thought this was on a couple of years ago?

Yes it was originally shown in Ireland for the Centenary and then streamed.

But I thought not everyone would have had the opportunity to watch it at the time.

This is why UKTV, which included the Drama channel, is so useful. As not only is it free, but it lets you see programmes you didn't have access to at the time.

Ah. Thought I'd seen it.

I watched that a few years ago. It was okay, lightweight. I liked how it showed that many Irish men ended up fighting in the Great War due to poverty. IIRC there is also a Season 2 still called Rebellion on some streamers and Resistance on others. It follows some of the main cast 4 years on in 1920.
