I passed on BallyK due to the name for a long time. My mom liked it and my wife Netflixed some episodes. I learned to like it a great deal.
I even have the CD soundtrack that I bought a few years ago.
There is a lot about Ireland that I don’t know and will probably never understand but the series is worth a watch.
The only other series regarding Ireland that I recall watching and really liking was The Irish RM with Peter Bowles.
There is a “Michael Forsythe” trilogy” by Adrian McKinty, read By Jarrod Doyle, audiobook series (”Dead I Well May Be” is the first)...if you like novels and don’t mind a bit of violence. I found them very entertaining even though I prefer history. He has other novels about Ireland as well if you like his style.
