Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Let's be realistic.

A Disappointing Continuation

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

We enjoyed the story lines for awhile. But the show is so dark (literally and story) you strain to watch the screen. The characters play well together which provides much of the humor too. After Series 1 the change from 90 minutes per episode to 55 minutes. This was absolutely a plus.

I'm a huge fan of UK/Irish crime dramas and mysteries, but this one did not work for me. The Murphy character is a cartoon Irishman, shallowly- drawn and made of cardboard. The plots are pretty unrealistic. Murphy is like a character in an Irish joke, a jerk who can out-drink, out-seduce, out-daredevil anybody.This series is one step above reality TV. I found myself wondering why I should care about whether Murphy gets killed or not. He didn't seem much more likable than the thugs he was out to get.In every episode, he should, by all rights, be killed, but of course, he squeaks by every time. This series is all bravado and no brains. If you want something with a tiny amount of intelligence and plausibility, look elsewhere. For an Irish drama that's worth watching, I recommend "Single-Handed".

This is the best drama/crime television series thats on TV right now, well its taking break (or i hope so). Haven't seen the TV movie that was first made, but I really like the TV-series. It has everything a good TV-program needs: great actor in lead role, plots are nice and it also has great tunes in it. Unfortunately it hasn't made a lot of awards like it should have, but its worth to even golden globe If you ask me. Never watched really cold feet, but i heard he was pretty good on that too. In this he really goes from nice to cold undercover cop with a nice touch of humor now and then. Its on DVD so buy it! Its worth it!

Brilliant, what can I say! Fans of police or crime dramas will love this! Fans of Murphy's Law series one and two, will luv' this.'contains spoiler' However for fans of the first and second series, be prepared for a change! Murphy stays in one role throughout the six-part series to catch gang boss Dave Calard unlike it's predecessors where he played a number of different roles in one series.James Nesbitt excels as Thomas Murphy, a man distraught over a family bereavement who dosen't care about the risks of a case or role. By the way, there is a fourth series that is about in May 2007. Bring on a fifth series!
