The Red Rock Thread (Irish Pace)
As it's less than a week until this new Irish soap begins, I'm starting a single discussion thread in the same vein as the Fair City and Ros na Run threads to discuss each episode and any news about the show.
For anyone who is unfamiliar with the show, it's a twice weekly soap set in a Dublin seaside town with the main focus being the local police station and two feuding families. It'll air on TV3 every Wednesday and Thursday night at 8.30pm. Also, here's a link to the development thread that I had about the show. http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showt...1#post76185201 Here's a link to the trailer and some of the more recent news and pictures from the show's opening episodes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UGSVG_-d7o http://www.independent.ie/entertainm...-30869781.html http://www.irishmirror.ie/whats-on/a...3s-new-4893200 http://www.herald.ie/entertainment/t...-30868678.html I'm really looking forward to this now. It's the first time a new soap has been launched in Ireland since Ros na Run began in 1996. TV3 has a bit of a reputation for generally showing imports and producing low budget programming but this looks like it'll be really good. |

The trailer is fantastic and I'm looking forward to seeing the brilliant Cathy Belton in the role of ruthless matriarch Patricia Hennessy. Let's just hope that this*doesn't end up being in the same vein as the Godawful 'Deception' that aired two years ago...

It looks really good.
Former BBC Drama boss and EastEnders EP John Yorke is involved in this also. |

It's heartening to hear that John Yorke is involved. The production values look quite impressive I must say!

In hoping it doesn't go the way of every other TV3 show that isn't Xpose.
Whatever happened to the Irish Take Me Out? Or Family Fortunes? Or Celebrity Salon? Or Weakest Link? |

If you use a vpn blocker like Hola then you can watch it on the tv3 player. Unless some kind hearted soul wants to stick it up on YouTube. If i knew how I'd probably do it

so what is red rock exactly?
Is it just a watered down version of love hate? With less freedom and a poor display of irish gangsters? my hopes are extremely low for this soap all I expect is a very low qaulity version of love hate, What do you all think?

I have problems with Red Rock being classified as a "soap". It really sounds more like a tv series as it is mainly set around a police station, with the emphasis being on two feuding families rather than a proper ensemble of many family units that form the backbone of your typical soap.
Even the name "Red Rock" doesn't scream soap to me. I'm very interested to see the first episode later on to confirm my suspicions. |

Pretty good first episode I thought. They managed to fit in quite a few character intros and setup a number of plots without bombarding us which is often the case with first episodes. Not too keen on the harmonica theme music though. Reminds me of a a Western or one of those awful 90's American cop shows that you'd watch in the middle of the night on ITV.
