The Storyline
The story focuses on an Irish family, Kinsellas, involved in criminal activities set against the backdrop of Dublin. The story highlights the everlasting bond between the family members as they are connected to each other by the blood relation and is unbreakable. The family’s loyalty is put to the test after the sudden loss of Kinsella members by the rival group, which paves the way for a gang war.
The family showcases a strong bond but a complicated backstory between two brothers, namely- Michael (portrayed by ‘Daredevil’ star Charlie Cox) and Jimmy (essayed by ‘Peaky Blinders’ fame Emmett J. Scanlan). Clare Dunne plays the role of Jimmy’s wife, Amanda, who shares 3 sons.
The role of Frank, who is the head of the family, is exceptionally played by Aidan Gillen, who has a son named Eric (portrayed by actor Sam Keeley). However, he has more of impulsive behavior rather than cleverness. New actor Yasmin Seky plays the role of Eric’s girlfriend Nikita Murphy, and Maria Doyle Kennedy essays the role of Bridget “Birdy” Goggins.
