    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.

    A continuation of the anesthetizing, trivializing and fictionalizing of the Irish Rebellion from series one. In episode 4 totally and egregiously glosses over the killing of innocent football fans at Croke Park by the British.

    In the three-night mini-series Rebellion, serious historical drama goes up against tedious soap opera, and the battle ends in more or less of a stalemate.

    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.

    Rebellion clearly aims to create a wide array of viewpoints on this tense period in Irish history, but manages to sabotage itself regularly with questionable pacing and an ungainly bunch of under-developed characters.
