Radio Times Flora Carr

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

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

The Independent Sean O'Grady

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

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

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

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

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

This is a stupid show about stupid people, but I'd be lying if I didn't tell you I cried laughing during the first episode when they first meet the MMA trainer. Only have made it halfway through the second ep, and had to shut if off for a bit, as there's only so much idiocy one can allowThis is a stupid show about stupid people, but I'd be lying if I didn't tell you I cried laughing during the first episode when they first meet the MMA trainer. Only have made it halfway through the second ep, and had to shut if off for a bit, as there's only so much idiocy one can allow into their brain at any given time. Will update when finished with the season.… Expand

Very disappointing. If you want some good Irish comedy, try Moon Boy. Young Bucks is a better version of this, but not by much.
