Anybody watching "Boglands"?

[Ocelot II]

Murder mystery set in Ireland somewhere between Donegal and Letterkenny, in Gaelic with subtitles. Very well-acted, interesting, twisty, dark. On Acorn TV/Amazon Prime.

In an isolated village in the north west of Ireland, with its own laws and codes of conduct, a murder investigation begins when police officer Conall Ó Súilleabháin's missing mother Sabine is discovered buried in the bog after 15 years missing. 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. Conall soon realises that Ciara-Kate can get access to people who refuse to speak to the official investigation. If Conall wants justice for his mother, he has no choice but to join forces with this citizen journalist. Their investigation leads them on a dark path and begs the question: can justice really be blind?

2. Looks very good, thanks. Note that the Amazon Prime option still requires an Acorn subscription.

They do offer a free trial, though.

4. Have you seen "Bodkin"?

If you're a fan of Irish murder/mysteries, you might enjoy it. It's on Netflix.

5. Yes. I enjoyed it - it's more of a black comedy than a murder mystery.

I had no idea eel smuggling was a thing.
