Crá Series 1 2024 Written by Richie Conroy, Doireann Ni Chorragáin, directed by Philip Doherty. An Irish police procedural shot in the desolate hills and peat bogs of County Donegal. The cast speaks Irish or Gaelic for the most part, a few English phrases creep into the conversation.
A cop finds a body in a peat bog and suspects it's his mother. She disappeared 15 years ago. The body, it really is his mother, opens a can of worms involving murder, bad cops and horrible family members including a child molester and rapist. It's really heavy on personal drama and bad family relationships. It's a struggle to like anyone. Crá is an Irish-language word meaning torment. The show lives up to it's name. I wouldn't want to watch it again, I'm nearly sorry I started watching it, surely I've got something better to watch.
