I really liked the series, I didn't even expect it to take so long. Cute characters, some of whom grow very well above themselves and open up, like, for example, Jen. And Belfast as a place of action is quite fresh and unusual.
The ending is very correct, although with a reserve for the second season. Only Jerry is sorry 😭

When Jerry said something like "it's not the number of years lived, but their quality," I immediately realized that the days of this character are numbered:(

It's a very cool series.

@distant_melody: I realized this when Jen accidentally said the word "quiet" in a sentence. After so many reminders from Jerry, eh((

I liked the series. The characters here are probably the main plus. There is also a balance in screen time, and they don't forget about character development either. Humor is also good. And separately 💔 for Jerry

If the series had been American, Jerry would have survived. Merciless Brits!

I also unexpectedly really liked the series!

I don't know if this could happen in real life, so that justice would prevail, but thank you that there is such a thing in the world of TV series)
Jen has really "grown up" in 6 episodes.
Unfortunately, I started worrying about Jerry's life back in the second series... It's a pity that suspicions were justified.

if there is a second season, let's see,
if not, then it turned out great!

What can I say? It was great. I don't know, there are no disadvantages at all for me. The overall storyline, the confrontation between the doctrines of the police and the special services, is just a great plot solution. It's not such a frequent topic, I'll tell you, on screens. Here she is shown both competently and strongly, yes, with a slight bias towards the police, mainly thanks to the character Jerry. But the authors did not directly "gloss over" the same special services, in principle, we understand their logic, it quite has the right to life, moreover, strictly speaking, the situation with Jerry, the arrest of the McIntyres and so on - all this put a serious end to the investigation of the Dublin mafia. And they got guns, by the way. So yes, every coin has two sides, although personally I'm more in favor of Jerry's philosophy.
The actor, Dormer, is just brilliant. I really liked him back in the Guard, he has a somewhat similar image there. By the way, I consider the Guardian to be the only good film adaptation of Pratchett, even if they changed everything there, where they did close to the text, it turned out to be unreadable shit, alas.

Yes, about Jan. Of course, I'm delighted with the character. The scene of her interrogation is extremely powerful, I even watched it a couple of times. It's a pity they didn't show us what she started doing. They left it clean for the second season. I think maybe he'll go to social workers. Her attitude towards Happy, by the way, even in the first meeting, even though she had her own motives there, shows that she has data for a social worker.
Well, it was very right that she left. Not like she became a good cop in memory of Jerry, but she left. Because such events, in fact, never change the essence of a person, his character. But they can encourage him to make the right, honest decisions without self-deception and so on. For Jen, the right decision was always to leave, she does not have the banal courage to work in the police, and it's like it's okay, many people do, even bol-va. And, yes, she went through the gate then, but that was just an episode.
In general, I am very pleased with the authors. There is often a temptation to transform a character, such moments always seemed to me extremely feigned and unrealistic. And here everything is done correctly.
