- Trivia21 year old Ben Carolan (who was the band manager Darren in Sing Street 2016) was cast as drug lord Eammon Cunningham's baby faced hit man/assassin Glen Wright. During the filming of a scene in a restaurant in South Dublin, Ben rushes from the street into the restaurant pursuing Charlie Cox acting as his targeted rival gang member Michael Kinsella with a fake gun showing but he came to the attention of the actual real Irish Gardai (Police) who briefly gave him chase thinking he'd perpetrated a real armed robbery until they realized it was a TV series set.

Featured review
I lived nearly all of my life in Dublin. They didn't have to dream this idea up, or write the plot. IT HAPPENED.
What they had to do was change things round so the script writers didn't get shot themselves. There was/is a huge gangland feud in Dublin with about 15 contract killings at least over the years. Google Hutch-Kinahan feud if you don't. The Hutch gang was a tight ship. They were the older players, built around Gerry Hutch, called "The Monk" because he only wanted non drinkers, and kept a low profile. When the Kinahans muscled in on his territory (for selling drugs) he ordered a killing, which ended being 2 killings. The Hutch gang was virtually killed off. Gerry Hutch ended doing his own killings and is going down for murder now. Everyone who isn't dead is running scared. The police have Daniel Kinahan unable to exit the UAE or some other tiny Arab State. It's been on tv here and it's too gritty for my taste by far, but you most folk would enjoy it. It got a prime time slot and went down well.
