Smother review: A rare delight to watch an Irish TV drama hit all the right notes
Smother: Niamh Walsh as Jenny, Dervla Kirwan as Val, Seána Kerslake and Gemma Leah Devereux as Anna.
You don’t hear the term ‘f**cking gobshite’ often enough on television. Or when you do, it’s way off, like the Irish accents in Wild Mountain Thyme.
Denis Ahern (played by Stuart Graham) delivers a proper juicy one early on in Smother (RTÉ One, Sunday 9.30pm.) It sets the tone for the whole show.
