Television: Series two is a huge improvement on the first iteration of this Dublin-set show starring Ciarán Hinds

Hinds, who lives in Paris, went on to say that Ireland was “for many years a priest-ridden country, steeped in the notion of sin”. It’s like soft power in reverse. We’re going around the world telling everyone we are uniquely maladjusted. Do other countries have an issue with substance abuse or religious dogmatism? Apparently not.

The Young Offenders review: Beloved anarchic comedy is back and as sweet as ever but why is it not on RTÉ? The ageism Tom experiences in his job as a delivery driver feels true to life, too. The Dry also captures the sleepiness of middle-class Dublin suburbia – a largely unexplored milieu where the most exciting thing that can happen is your waste disposal company picking up the wrong wheelie bin.
