I’ll be nice:) While not a fan of this type of genre, I find the whole premise of the story far-fetched. Why would a FBI trained investigator ever come to Ireland? And GFU? Sounds like a rip-off of that American TV series CSI.
It is not like Dublin is a hotbed of international crime..or is it???
Absolutely. Which must be why they paid big bucks for it….
