Brian Gleeson (Peaky Blinders) leads this six-episode Irish comedy as a fully grown man who must now act like one after being kicked out of his parents' house. Co-stars Pom Boyd (Rosie) Sarah Greene (Dublin Murders) and Domhnall Gleeson (About Time).

Frank is a 33-year-old catastrophe; a misanthropic fantasist in arrested development who’s convinced that the world owes him. He's also our hero. He has a tenuous hold on reality, a single room in his mother’s home, an ex he can’t get over and a loyal best friend, Doofus. This is the story of a man’s hapless search for respect. We don’t want him to succeed, but it’s fun to watch him try.

Good giggles

While Frank of Ireland doesn’t offer anything new, there are enough laugh-out-loud moments along the way to make it a sitcom worth watching. Providing good giggles per minute, the show might further come into its own if it gets a second season, and breaks further away from well-worn comedy tropes.
