‘Love/Hate’ plot shortfalls leave viewers underwhelmed

Sunday night’s finale of Love/Hate may have ended with Nidge apparently going mad, but it would appear many of the million viewers who turned in were also losing the plot — literally.

As one of the country’s most successful homegrown drama production, it was unsurprising that the hype ahead of the series climax had been huge — 1,007,500 viewers tuned in, attracting 54% share of viewers in the time slot.

They witnessed the dodgy dentist being violently rooted into a canal, the killer of the cat — which caused its own media frenzy — getting creamed, and crime boss Nidge showed his solidarity for the feline fatality by using his own body as a scratching post.
