From MHz Choice:
Gritty Irish-language drama chronicling the difficult professional and intense personal life of Cathal Mac Iarnáin, a tenacious TV crime reporter who is obsessed with pursuing the story behind the story. But as single-minded as he is about uncovering the truth, he is often too busy chasing stories to notice that the world of crime hits closer to home every day.
From MHz Choice you can stream two seasons of this intense Irish drama. Each season consists of 4 episodes. Each episode lasts about 50 minutes. Irish Gaelic with English subtitles.
“Gut-punching” is the most apt adjective I can apply to these eight episodes. “Corp & Anam” is Gaelic for “Body and Soul”.
One critic labeled the reporter Cathal as unscrupulous. Each of the 8 stories centers around some serious injustice. No matter who gets hurt Cathal is determined to get the scoop first. On certain occasions he is not above breaking the law to get the story. In every case he goes out on a sometimes self-destructive limb to broadcast the story on Irish television. Most often it is his own family which gets hurt because, as with many police detectives, his cell phone often interrupts his family life.
For this series I have created a new category “DIY Ending” which I could have used earlier for many other series. “Do It Yourself Ending” applies to an ending in which most of the groundwork has been laid to reach a satisfying conclusion in which justice reigns and the bad guys get their punishment but in which you do not get the satisfaction of seeing those final details played out. This category especially applies to the last story of season 2 which uses two episodes 3 and 4 to tell the whole story. This particular story leaves Cathal in danger of losing his career.
