Thought I'd start a thread for those (Like me) who are watching this when it starts next week.

Red Rock is a new continuing drama from Ireland based around a busy Garda station, which charts the life and dramas of a community through the eyes of those who police it.
It airs for the next eight weeks at 1:45pm on BBC1 in a 40 minute slot, with two episodes being combined into one show.

I predict most people who watch will be quickly hooked. Some great characters and there's a brilliant villain who will get everyone talking within a short number of episodes.

How come it's only on for 8 weeks?

I'll need to remember and record it.

Because it works out 10 episodes a week .

In Ireland it was on Wednesday and Thursday (Two episodes a week) so it will only take weeks to catch up .

No, I highly doubt it. It aired in a pre-watershed slot (8:30pm) in Ireland, also the rules aren't as strict in the daytime as most children are at school and the people that are watching will be mostly adults, obviously things like swearing etc isn't allowed at any time of day before 9pm not generally the rules aren't as harsh.

It's still a lot of episodes. It would work out as the equivalent of 80 episodes of Corrie, which would be four months of viewing if shown at normal Corrie pace.

Also if you look at a stalwart like Casualty, it has less than 50 one hour episodes a year.

The promo's for the show look very dingy and dark. In a good way.

A British TV review of Red Rock :

http://www.thecustardtv.com/2016/07/...time-soap.html

The writer is quite right in saying the show is nearer to a nordic noir thriller than a daytime soap.

Technically it's a soap in that it has two rival families, but if it is, it's a very stylish one.

Each episode is 40 minutes long and it looks like people will have to wait until the New Year perhaps for the next bunch of episodes.

Definitely, there's a lot of new episodes to come that won't even be shown during this initial run on the BBC

Seems we're getting new theme music for the UK version. A British composer called Debbie Wiseman says on Twitter she has written the music for the show.
