Love/Hate is one of my favourite series ever and I’ve finished it about 5 times. I started watching it before season 5 came out and watched season 5 during its original run and even though I feel like it ended perfectly I’d just love to see more. I think the best way we could get more is a prequel series. I’d love to see a prequel about how Darren, Nidge, Robbie and Tommy started working for John Boy or did they even start working for John Boy? Or maybe John Boy working for a former boss before he rose to the top and how he met the others. We never really saw any of their family backgrounds other than Darrens sister, Siobhan (Nidges niece) and John Boys half brother but I’d love to see what kind of environment they all grew up in and what led them to actually get involved in that lifestyle and personally I feel like Robbie if he hadn’t been killed off first thing might have actually made a good character since it was heavily implied that he was a loose cannon. Obviously the only downside would be that we wouldn’t see Fran probably because the lads didn’t meet him until season 2 but I’d love to see who the boss was before John Boy and how they all got to where they were at the beginning of the show.

  1. It was good, recession core Dublin crime. Sadly we won’t see it again.

  3. I’ve always kind of wondered what the relationship between Terrence in Spain introduced in Season 4 or 5 ( I don’t remember) and Johnboy was.

    Were they in business together? was Terrence hiding in Spain? was Terrence Johnboy’s boss or vice versa? we never really get an explanation into this kind of stuff, but Nidge definitely knew who he was and made him sound like a big deal.

    We’ll probably never get an answer unless you wrote to the showrunners or Stuart Carolan

  4. I just finished it for a second time this week.  It was great,  I had forgotten most of the main details and it was like watching it a new all over again. 

  5. How did he get the name “Laurence big balls?”
    Did he something exceptionally brave or was it a medical condition?

  6. Romanticising scumbags and drug dealers load of nonsense. The pivotal plot point is a misunderstanding about “nits” lol

  7. Look at those beautiful boot cut jeans… what an era…..no one will ever get to live like that again.

  8. It always strikes me when I think back to watching this first. I thought it was far fetched glamourised shite. There’s no way that shit is real and happening in Dublin.

    Ohhh sweet summer child, how wrong I was 🙁

  9. The fake dublin accents absolutely killed it from the start for me. Couldn’t get into it.

  10. Theyre making  a new one, John connors said so

  13. Apart from the fact Robert Sheehan can’t act it’s fairly good

  15. I have the full dvd box set, I keep meaning to put aside a day or two to marathon the whole thing.
