Season 1 Review: The chemistry between the Gleeson brothers truly makes the series, but they’re surrounded by an excellent supporting cast. ... Frank Of Ireland is comedy with an edge, but at its heart is a perfectly cast odd-couple bromance. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Frank is a welcome and hilarious reminder that we could always be worse. Read full review

Season 1 Review: If it had dialogue more like, say, Derry Girls or Father Ted, or indeed Catastrophe, it could be sublime. It’s not terrible but, like so much about our lives at the moment, there’s something missing. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Frank of Ireland is under three hours of total bingeing — brief but still a long time to be deliberating on whether a show is a bad man-child comedy or a spotty parody of bad man-child comedies. Read full review

The Guardian Lucy Mangan

Season 1 Review: Overall, the sense is of an opportunity wasted – especially as the series wears on and there is no sign of any change or enlightenment, apart from tiny, insubstantial flashes from poor, downtrodden Doofus. Still, it will do the Gleesons – rightly established and acknowledged talents in film and television – no harm. You just wish it could have done us some good. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Maybe some people will enjoy turning their brains off for the schadenfreude of seeing some dummies pinwheel into each other to increasingly disastrous effect. Beyond that, “Frank of Ireland” might have more trouble convincing skeptical viewers to spend their precious time with such hopelessly frustrating people. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There are funny moments in Frank Of Ireland, but Frank is so cartoonishly awful that we wonder how he ever got friends or a girlfriend to begin with. Either way, we’re not intrerested in finding out. Read full review

Actors and brothers Brian and Domhnall Gleason created this series. Brian plays the titular loser, living at home with his mum and claiming to be a songwriter, although he has yet to pen a tune.

Brian plays the titular loser, living at home with his mum and claiming to be a songwriter, although he has yet to pen a tune. Domhnall (who is more recognizable because of his numerous movie roles), plays his best friend called Doofus…does that name need any more explanation? They bounce around getting into misadventures with Frank being a bumbling mess, while Doofus is just plain goofy (and providing much of the humor). The pacing is brisk and there are a few amusing supporting characters, especially Pom Boyd as the slutty mom. Despite the thick Irish accents, which are sometimes challenging to navigate, there’s not a lot of genuine comedy here…just plenty of energy and some mildly absurd situations. I’ve only watched the first 3 episodes, but am willing to give it a few more to see if the promise develops. (Six 30-minute episodes)… Expand
