KIN Is this worth watching?

[ManchesterBeatrice]

Hello,

Looking for my next show, is Kim worth watching? Reviews online are mixed 😊

I've read there isn't one in the pipeline.

Bleating amazing 👏

Yep, the Darren as Tortured Soul character who happens to be good looking is a bit frustrating. Overlooked it as the rest of the series was so good

I LOVED it. Finished it the other night and I'm in mourning a little bit.
S2 was even better, with the nutjob older brother (to Birdy and Frank) being released from prison.

KIN, I mean. Haven't yet seen Love/Hate.

Tried episode two, and just felt fairly unmoved and a bit bored by all. I don't think I'll continue. 😫

It’s worth continuing!

(but also try The Gentlemen on Netflix 😂)

Please persevere!

I’m bereft after finishing love/hate.definitely persevere.

I’d also recommend Hidden Assets on iPlayer.

Loved it. I felt it was an Irish breaking bad !

I think I will! I think I was disappointed not to be hooked after last night. I don't feel any engagement to the characters yet but maybe that will come 😊

Hidden Assets! Yes! Brilliant!

We started watching last night but gave up half way through the first episode - a combination of too much swearing, not understanding accents, couldn't see what was going on due to darkness and not understanding the plot.

This is usually OH's kind of thing and had been recommended by a friend but even he isn't interested in continuing.

Def. S1 and s2 fab

Really enjoyed

Can't wait for s3

S2 KIN S2 - Tue 10.40/11.40 - TV PACE. NO SPOILERS !!!! www.mumsnet.com/Talk/telly_addicts/5003375-kin-s2-tue-10401140-tv-pace-no-spoilers

Loved it, and loved The Gentlemen too which surprised me. As another poster said, I won’t be going to Ireland for a relaxing break especially after watching The Tourist as well.

Thanks for this previous thread, this post summed up how I feel at the moment much better than I could!

"I've watched the first couple of episodes but to be honest I'm a bit bored. Apart from the end of the first episode and the scene in episode 2 with Frank in the car at the bar (not saying in case I spoil it for anyone but I wasn't expecting it!) it's been a bit dull. And I don't like any of the characters. It's hard to have sympathy for them when they chose to bring children in to that world."

Love/Hate is the best Irish show. Kin is good and definitely worth watching but Love/Hate is in another league.

Guess that's the life of crime @ManchesterBeatrice

Reminded me of Irish gangs of London

I loved that as well

This is very true!!

I must try again with Love/Hate. I couldn't even make it through the first episode.

@JMSA tbf, the first episode is shite, The second not much better, but then you get hooked…😉

I read the other day that the first series is a bit soap opera and then it really takes on a different atmosphere.

Good to know, thank you!

It did have an air of late 90s Hollyoaks about it

So, thanks everybody, I went back, and got hooked, on about episode three. Went straight onto episode four now, now seen episode five as well, and can't wait for episode six.

It's definitely fair to say that you do need to give it three episodes, just like you all said, so thank you for encouraging me to persevere.
