What happens when Cork women move to Dublin

TWO young women, adrift in the big city, discover life is not as straightforward as they believed. They drink too much, stay out late, go to bed with the wrong guys. It’s a story told many times on television, most recently by Lena Dunham’s Girls. But Can’t Cope Won’t Cope is different because it is set in contemporary Dublin rather than New York or Los Angeles.

The new comedy, debuting tonight on RTÉ2, offers a warts and all look at the growing pains of Irish millennials and is by turns hilarious and unflinching.
