• U.K. date: New episodes premiere every Tuesday from Feb. 13 on BBC One.
Take the most dysfunctional family you can imagine and then give them guns and a multi-million euro drug ring to run in Dublin. Add ruthless enemies and a race against time to the mix and that was the basic synopsis for the first series of "Kin", the intense RTE drama acquired by the BBC.
"Kin" season 2 offers more of the same but with the family even more dysfunctional thanks to the release from prison of vicious patriarch Brendan and the enemies, represented by members of a debt-chasing Turkish cartel, even more ruthless (if it ain't broke, don't fix it).
A superb cast including Claire Dunne as wannabe boss Amanda Kinsella, Emmett J Scanlon as her underwhelming husband Jimmy and Francis Magee as Brendan continue to deliver on a complex and very contemporary script.
This is an underworld drama with all the grit and danger that suggests but it also gets up close to look at the psychological and personal issues even the worst of us have to deal with: Amanda is still overcome with grief, Frank (Aiden Gillen) is struggling with both his sexuality and a drug problem while his idiot son Eric "Viking" Kinsella (Sam Keeley) has developed an invincibility complex that is likely to be tested to the limit.

Will there be a third season of 'Kin'?
Despite reports that "Kin" season 3 had already been filmed and would be ready to air later this year, this appears not to be the case. With financial troubles bedeviling the production company behind the show, RTÉ, Kin's Irish broadcasters announced in August 2023: "[We] would very much like Kin to return and continue to work with our international partners to make it happen. We hope to have a further update in relation to season 3 in the coming months."
Emmett J.Scanlon who plays Jimmy Kinsella also told the Radio Times, "I hope there will be a season 3, I really do. That's kind of the energy I like to marinate in anyway. I'm not a negative person.
"I genuinely have no answer whether it's gonna happen or not, but there are rumblings around the place, positive rumblings, where it might find a new home, it might find a backer and it might go into a season 3.
"It certainly has the potential of going to season 3 and maybe 4, who knows what will happen? When the credits rolled [at the end of the second season] I thought, 'It can't end like that.' So fingers crossed."
