What is it? I'm looking something to watch.
Sorry for not being able to answer.
I'm enjoying it so far - The Magdalene laundries are definitely a story that need to be talked about more. Still waiting to see if the whole concept (the creepy gothic-esque setting etc.) quite works, but it's intriguing enough.
It's a new bbc drama with Ruth Wilson about the magdalene laundries, it first aired Sunday night with the 2nd episode last night. Episode 3 is on this Sunday coming.

It definitely does need brought up and to the attention of people as I was really aghast that the last laundry didn't shut until 1996!! As one of the characters rightly said, that was when the macarena was out! We're not talking about the olden days we're literally talking about relatively modern history. Madness.
It's a very compelling storyline. I'm wondering where it's going to go.
Oh I'll love this thanks so much. Terrible places. One of the biggest shames of Ireland. I was taught by nuns, the outfit I met were capable of anything. Wicked.
really enjoying it - as said above i was shocked when they said the last laundry closed in 1996! absolutely awful 
on a completely separate note the actor playing the detective is

I've been watching it , although I missed the first 15 minutes.
I didn't notice that the man who the police questioned was him who played Father Dougal until I saw his name on the credits.

I hope you enjoy it

He is very very pleasing to the eye! Wonder what his characters story is. I thought at first they were going down the predictable priests with young boys route but I don't know...really enjoying it - as said above i was shocked when they said the last laundry closed in 1996! absolutely awful

i wonder too! i’m wondering if he did something “bad” as a kid and the priest helped him in some way - the flashbacks and such seem to indicate he was a bit of a tearaway and i’m sure he hinted as much when they were at the first crime scene.
i’m often lost in his eyes when he’s speaking though so might have misheard some stuff!
Didn't he say he was born in a mother and baby home?
He did - I'm intrigued to see where his story is going to go, and why he is having these panic attacks.
Agreed, the actor is FINE.
Is it on tonight?
Such a strange programme
Just to add that the hot detective is in Bad Sisters on Apple TV. Well worth a watch anyway, but even more so with him in it.
I hope this programme does the storyline justice. Although very harrowing, the film about the Laundries was fantastic.

There's also a documentary called 'Sex in a cold climate' which the film is based on which is pretty harrowing.
I bloody knew in my gut about the last scene! Won’t spoil it. It’s supposed to be set in Mayo isn’t it
My husband kept distracting me and I couldn't concentrate. Think I was missing the important bit near the end.
The actor who plays the lead detective is Daryl Mccormack. He was in the movie Good luck to you Leo Grande with Emma Thompson. He is a good actor. Simon Delaney is quite good as his side kick as well. I have seen a few movies about the Magdalane laundries but this is definitely a bit different. I am really enjoying it.
I've still to catch up on the new episode! This week to week is killing though!
The creepy noises at the end of the credits freaked me out .
