Is Clean Break the new Love/Hate? Here's what people thought of it

Is the Wexford drama any use?

Clean Break Episode One RTÉ RTÉ

LAST NIGHT, RTÉ’S brand new drama Clean Break kicked off.

The Wexford-set drama tells the story of a car dealer, who, after discovering he is in dire financial straits, plots a tiger kidnapping.

But is it any use? Can it fill the Love/Hate-shaped hole in our Sunday night schedule?

First of all, some people were rather pleased to meet Adam Fergus.

And Wexford people were only delighted to see the county on the small screen.

As for whether it’s the new Love/Hate? Some have yet to be convinced.
