I watched Love/Hate last night for first time. I thought it was a bit rediculous that in a 1 hour episode we had the following:
* Kneecapping of drug dealer (by IRA)
* Rape of drug dealer's girlfriend/wife by IRA leader in back of pub
* Violence, fight scenes, guns
* Murder (of IRA man) by a dropped beer barrel to head
* Burial of body by JCB
* Brothels, prostitutes, sex, affairs etc
* Loads and loads of alcohol
* Loads of drug use (cocaine mainly)
* Drink driving
Was it a bit much for Episode 1 which seemed to span a period of only 2 days?
It was very violent. Remember that it was based around St. Patrick's Day and they were were all tanked up on booze and cocaine etc
