Love/Hate



Love/Hate is an Irish criminal drama. From IMDB "LOVE/HATE is a gritty crime drama based on Dublin's criminal underworld. It depicts the drug addiction, squalor and violence of organised crime that has grown in post-Celtic Tiger Ireland. Darren Treacy (Robert Sheehan) returns to Dublin from Spain, spending time there while trying to avoid the Garda in Ireland for gun possession. Darren's brother Robbie is released from Cloverhill prison. While waiting to be collected, Robbie is shot outside a newsagents in a drive by shooting. Catastrophic events ignite tension among the drug gang, and family, friends and the community must live with the consequences."
If you enjoy Australia's Underbelly series, then chances are this one will appeal to you as well. Some of the Irish cast pop up in British shows here and there. Robert Sheehan is pretty well known for being in Misfits and more recently the comedy Me & Mrs Jones. Ruth Bradley has been in Plus One, Primeval, Titanic and a recent episode of Threesome in addition to the Irish drama Legend. Aiden Gillen was in Queer As Folk, Identity, Game Of Thrones, the US show The Wire and in a new drama I'll be posting tomorrow called Mayday. Ruth Negga was in Criminal Justice, Personal Affairs, Five Daughters, Misfits and Secret State. Peter Campion was in 6Degrees. Killian Scott, Susan Loughnane and Charlie Murphy were all in the Irish crime drama Single-handed. And Sean McGinley (The Hanging Gale, Safe And Sound, Pulling Moves, Bleak House, Single-handed, Republic Of Doyle) appears in the four most recent episodes. This will be back with 4th series near the end of the year.
