Agree, haven't seen it recently, but one of the last episodes I watched had serial killer Breda shouting all this hellfire and damnation to her family members, along with her constant on edge behaviour. Now, wouldn't any of the realistically sense something was up, and act on her threatening behaviour? Same with the Maxine "fake illness" storyline, they never really put the emphasis on it being apparently a coping mechanism for her trauma, and ultimately she isn't an endearing actress, and the storyline has just dragged on with no real logic despite her being found out by medics and friends.
Best era was Brendan & Mitzee & Ste.
Didn't Breda already kill her own man, and hide it from their son? "Scottish foxy" is now a priest too? Think the drag storyline could open up a can of worms, considering his Dr ex thought it demeaning, Sinead sees it empowering to the guy whilst ignoring the sexism towards womanl, and the straight doctor seems to fetish it.
