    If this sounds merely soapy, know that by the third hour, the English are executing rebels via firing squad, shops are being looted, innocent urchins are shot down and battle lines have been drawn between lovers and families.

    Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the bloody event over three nights, this five-part series is a bit like the uprising itself: Under-strategized, perilously emotional, more than a little short-handed. Passion, however, is abundant. So is spectacular acting.

    The first season was kind of a lame duck. The pacing wasn't good. Season 2 is quite better and a decent watch. I can endorse this show.
