Overview
- All eight episodes premiered globally on September 25 on Netflix.
- Though set in 1860s Dublin, production largely used North West England and Wales, including Penrhyn Castle for Ashford Castle, Liverpool’s Stanley Dock for brewery scenes, and Manchester’s Northern Quarter for New York.
- Composer Ilan Eshkeri says the soundtrack blends Irish folk with contemporary, punk-leaning artists such as Fontaines D.C. and Kneecap to capture a rebellious energy.
- Steven Knight has stated he wants to continue the story across multiple seasons into the 20th century, but Netflix has not announced a renewal.
- Recent reviews diverge, with strong praise from US and UK outlets contrasted by sharp criticism from Irish reviewers over historical depiction, dialogue, and visual style.
