This review is a good recap of the episode - with added Danny pic!

No mention of Damien's performance though? Surprising, considering he was front and centre in this ep, and superb.

(spoilers!)

Pretty much agree with everything this review says. And that pic of Danny and Corrina is interesting - I'm sure we never actually saw that shot.....

Despite the somewhat gloomy title, this is a positive review from the Irish Times!

 

TV review Clean Break: Wexford never looked so grim | Irish Times

the reviewer, Laurance Mackin, also features in the below newstalk podcast - well worth a listen.

He talks really positively about Clean Break. I can see what he means about the longevity of it but hope to be surprised!

Oh, for fuck's sake! The Herald didn't spell his name right! It's not like it isn't publicized. I mean, it's on the PR and in the program credits!

Love that podcast!  The reviews all seem to be quite favourable....which is good.  But I am surprised that there has been so little mention of Damien - especially considering how central he is.  

The only negative comments I've seen (on twitter) - apart from the inaccuracy of the Wexford accent, which I wouldn't know, and there were also comments that it was nice to hear the Wexford accent - were that it was a bit slow.  That surprises me too, because although there wasn't much 'action' in the early parts, so much was happening, there was so much detail.... we learned so much about these characters. I agree with the guy on the podcast that it was beautifully filmed, but i that it felt almost suffocating.....brooding and, for me,  the slower pace almost created an air of suspense.

That surprises me too fifi, I didn't find it at all slow, usually I zone out if somethign is not pacey enough and with Cleam Break I was gripped! Oooh'brooding' and 'suffocating' are very good words - perfect descriptors for the drama. Wish I'd thought of them for my review! I see that as a positive it adds to the intensity and tone.... a slowly creeping disturbing growing darkness.

I have written a review. I really tried to do Clean Break and Damien's performance in it justice, but still haven't quite nailed it. It has not been proofread so may just make sense in my own little brain and it is too long and unweildy - congratulations and thank you if you make it all the way through! 

All thoughts / discussion welcome.
