“What a load of rubbish. RTE canu0026#39;t make good drama. Here is a good example of that . What was the point of this ? The lead actor is terrible, sorry itu0026#39;s just the truth . David Rawleu0026#39;s performance stood out, heu0026#39;s got a future in acting. Chris Walley didnu0026#39;t have much to work with and seemed to hone in his best version of Paul Mescal imitation, Walley is talented but this role gave him 0 to work with. Why is the story about some self obsessed journalist ? Shouldnu0026#39;t it focus on the dude that literally committed suicide. How did she fall in love with him in 30 minutes . So unoriginal . RTE trash!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI just fail to see the point of its existence. It seems to be made for no good reason. Something should only be greenlit if it offers something new or interesting . This offered nothing. Itu0026#39;s such a shame Ireland is such a terrible place when it comes to home made dramas . RTE donu0026#39;t know what entertainment is.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI had to write this review because the damn thing was so awful . If you are going to put work out in the world then make sure itu0026#39;s you know good.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;d rather watch Ryan Tubridy doing the gardening than watch this again.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDavid Rawle is a future star. Donu0026#39;t know the guy but credit is due where credit is due. Chris Walley has the acting chops too, he shouldnu0026#39;t have taken this role , itu0026#39;s beneath him.”
