CRÁ
Everyone is talking about CRÁ, a murder-mystery drama set in rural Donegal Gaeltacht. The unmissable Irish thriller has become a global sensation – it’s been sold in 68 countries and is streaming under the international title Boglands. This smash hit promises viewers a gripping story of murder, secrets, and justice in a close-knit Irish village.
A murder investigation begins when Garda Conall Ó Súilleabháin’s missing mother is discovered buried on a bog. Conall is forbidden from working the case but that’s not going to stop him. Meanwhile, a young journalist, Ciara-Kate, decides to produce a podcast about the case. This is irresistible bingeable viewing and it is available to watch now on TG4.ie
Capaillíní
We loved this documentary series which is just out now. It follows the enigmatic Conamara Pony. Always surviving on the mountains and by the seashore, they have been shaped by that same harsh, rural terrain. For centuries, many families in Conamara relied on this work-pony for survival. Today, the Conamara Pony is one of the most well-loved and sought-after animals in the world. Across four episodes, we delve into the world of breeders, riders, buyers and sellers to find out why exactly this Irish pony is so revered.
Téacs Taistil
The third series of this amazing show is available to watch now. Téacs Taistil transports us from our couches to a different destination each week, for a funny, inspirational and entertaining 52-minute escape. Our three presenters Louise Cantillon, Séaghan Ó Súilleabháin and Proinsias Ó Coinn have proven to be the perfect fit for this entertaining travel show.
Cumasc: Seisiúin sa Black Gate
