Ireland’s national broadcaster RTÉ does not have a long, glittery history of producing great drama. Love/Hate is a huge exception. Focusing on Dublin’s notorious gangland, it is a cutting edge gritty show which shows the volatility of the drug market in Ireland’s capital city.
There have been three short seasons already aired in Ireland, sixteen episodes in total. Currently a fourth season is in production and is scheduled to air next winter. It is hotly anticipated and it is likely that the show will continue to be screened in other countries.
Love/Hate features standout performances from Aiden Gillen, Robert Sheehan and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor. Gillen, known for excellent performances in Queer As Folk and The Wire, plays livewire drug-boss John Boy who runs rule over a dangerous and trigger happy gang. Robert Sheehan is outstanding in the role of Darren, a sensitive soul whose morals become undeniably compromised through a series of dramatic twists and turns. Lawlor delivers a huge black comedic performance as Nidge, a ruthless enforcer who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
The whole cast are to be commended although it must be stated many are far too attractive to truly fill the role of participants in Dublin’s rough drug trade. Aside from that, Love/Hate is extremely realistic and honest in its depiction of the brutality of this dangerous industry. It also acts as a social commentary by showing how the drug trade is one of few booming sectors in post-Celtic Tiger Ireland.
RTÉ received intense criticism for excessive violence throughout the show’s run, especially a graphic rape scene. The show floats between aggression and viciousness to dark humour with ease as the camaraderie between the characters is played out. The third season finished in superb dramatic style but it remains to be seen how much longer it can go on.

I had fun drawing these :) there’s a bunch of techniques combined here (traditional pens and markers and pencil and digital painting), and it’s a bit messy, but I think that fits Klaus lol. Also, his blue and orange shirt gave me life when I most needed it, thank you, Constume Design Person.
