The Young Offenders (2018– )
9/10
Ireland's answer to Fawlty Towers
5 November 2019
Just watched the entire Season 1 again and laughed just as hard as the first time, something that "Only Fools and Horses" and "Fawlty Towers" has managed so far. Then it hit me! All three series were about the" best laid plans", going gloriously comically wrong.

Solid all round performances from the entire cast, and a real masterclass in mania from Shane Casey as the demented Billy Murphy, who reminds me of yet another TV classic character, "Yosser Hughes" without the pathos.

A series that definitely deserves a better slot in the schedules, though the language compels it's showing after the watershed.
