I think the acting was as much of a hindrance as the writing. Orlaith aside, none of those playing the group of girls could act and will probably never be seen again.
I agree. It was funny in parts but the acting left a lot to be desired. Stopped watching after 3 episodes but was made watch the last few which tbf picked up in quality. Alright show but getting far too many plaudits

And another thing I'm wondering about "the wee English fella"; The story is that his mum went to Enlgand to have an abortion, but didn't go through with it and gave birth to James instead.  So that means James' dad is still in Derry?

His da was in the Brit army. You can tell by how intelligent James is. Your one probably went to live a semi-secret life back in Bolton with soldier boy.

He has been a major part in 'Death in Paradise' going downhill too, although he did mention 'Clonakilty' once in an episode.
 Did he just get lucky with Fr.Ted? Was his stand-up any good?

Whatever you do, don't ever watch his stand up. It's beyond atrocious.
