the thick accent, the inbred faces, the catholic canon, things were mildly amusing with the first series. the story went quite smooth for the first series.

the second series was bad. more of the same, only i started to skip big parts.

the third series: somebody has been masturbating at american movies way too much. for the fat white trash the northern ireland constabulary thugs send up choppers??? the girls were obviously too old for the roles, but with the catholic school upbringing probably it's hard to find under-20s to play roles that talk about sex. only by now, the high school girls look like 29 year old grandmas by derry welfare standards. and they are concerned with the test results? by 5 year old the perspective should have been clear: pushing a pram in the rain, and occasionally getting a job as a waitress.
