Oh, dear god no. I genuinely believe that show Love/Hate inspired a generation of scumbags, dealers and criminals. Because ever since the past few years in especially in Dublin, it’s an epidemic for Teenage boys who are dealing and generally just being knackers of society and a lot of them all were growing up when the show was airing and it praised that lifestyle and showed how cool it was and that you’re so hard and intimidating. Think about it the show was getting 1.5 million viewers each week on RTE and we only have around 5 million in the ROI.
Now I’m just like sooo it’s worth being shot dead in a street for because Tom Vaughan Lawlor is pretending to be a dirty Dublin criminal. Just around a 15 mins drive from where I grew up the body parts of a 17 year old where found in a bag because feuding gangs got that far out of control.
That show has a lot of influence on the current issue involving young men and teenage boys being scrotes of society especially now that they’re living their coke hazed blue wkd love/hate fantasy. Without failing to realise all those actors in the shows are from good families and the majority of them are posh who have connections in RTE and BBC to get their parts.
Even the kid Barry Keoghan who starred as a little scrote in and who genuinely was from a bad environment as his motherhad died from a heroin od when he was a baby, he now has a deal with marvel and Disney to star in their movies as a main character. Which proves the point that these people are not actually scumbags and what they did was a job and the kids who took influence never took the lesson the show did emulate that their jobs always left them with a bullet in the head, in prison, owing out thousands and favours or even worse your family being murdered because of your job.
Im not mad at you I just genuinely hate that show because I wholeheartedly believe that it has ruined a lot of lives as it warped a lot of children’s minds. They wanna be Pablo Escobar but fail to be Pablo Tescobar
