This new crime drama - starring Lydia McGuinness, Kerr Logan and Sinead Cusack – looks the business.
The story centres on Connemara family the Kennys, who have fished off the west coast of Ireland for generations.
However, skipper Ciara might very well be the last to do so after her brother Aidan puts the family's lives in danger by facilitating a drug route for a Swedish cartel to help fund a new business venture.
Here’s my interview with Kerr Logan about the show.

Brendan Courtney invites more celebrities to reveal how places they have lived in have shaped their lives, beginning with actor Bryan Murray.

In stark contrast, they then travel to London, where Bryan steps back into the chic apartment that marked his ascent to TV stardom in BBC sitcom Bread, ITV drama The Irish RM and RTE's ground-breaking Strumpet City.
Bryan Murray’s one of the nicest people you could hope to meet and his story is fascinating. This is perfect Sunday night viewing.
