I found myself engaged with the actors and working to follow the action--sure signs of good acting and good writing.
The plot braids together the personal crises of several characters--grandmother, grandchildren, other teenagers and the villain--along with the Garda.
All these characters are working hard to survive and find their places in society.
During and because of all this action, the main character solves the murder.
Modern Dublin backs up the plot beautifully.
Let's have Season 2.
Can they keep up the pace?
