Extremely funny comedy/thriller from Lisa McGee (creator of Derry Girls). The crime/thriller aspect is servicable, but the real atraction for me is the comedic strength of this 8-part series. I found this funnier than most straight comedies. Irish-based comedy (both NI and RoI), with diversions to London and Portugal and a very strong cast, largely of Irish actors.
