  • Part of the reason why Kin works so well is that it doesn’t shun the cliches that inevitably go with the territory, it revels in them. Allied to that is a superb cast.
    Alison Rowat on The Herald
  • Kin is RTÉ’s best new drama in years though perhaps that isn’t saying a great deal when you consider the competition included howlers such as the South Westerlies. One of its most striking qualities is its self-assuredness. Peter McKenna’s pressure-cooker tale of dynastic rivalries in Dublin’s criminal underworld isn’t for everyone. Kin is a long way from thrill-a-minute... But Kin has the confidence to tell the story it wants to tell – and in its own good time.
    Ed Power on The Irish Times
  • By rights it ought to be on everyone’s top recommendation list. It’s the first thing in ages where I’ve been absolutely salivating to watch the next episode
    James Delingpole on The Spectator
