Love/Hate is an Irish drama series broadcast on RTÉ. It centres on a criminal gang in Dublin and their various dealings.Darren Treacy returns to Dublin after a spell in Spain in hiding to meet up with his brother, Robbie, as he's released from prison. Unfortunately, Robbie catches a fatal dose of 9mm rounds and Darren is determined to find his killer. At the wake, he meets up with his ex-girlfriend, Rosie, and rekindles his relationship with her, despite her being in a relationship with Stumpy and pregnant with his baby. During this time, Nidge proposes to his girlfriend, Trish, and marries her in the series finale, though the wedding reception is nowhere near as smooth as hoped. Darren does eventually discover that John Boy's brother, Hughie did it to save face, Though he accidentally shoots himself before Darren can confront him. Darren himself is shot, ending the series on a cliffhanger.Series two shows that Darren has physically recovered, but is haunted by nightmares brought on by PTSD, and is now working for a low level loan shark and bootlegger by the name of Fran until he takes pity on one of Fran's debtors and beats one of his attack dogs to death to protect him. Meanwhile, John Boy is becoming increasingly paranoid with the Criminal Assets Bureau on his case constantly, seizing his assets left, right and centre. Desperate to avoid Fran's wrath, Darren seeks help from John Boy to clear his debt, on the condition that Darren does any job he sees fit. Suspecting a rat in his gang, he sends Darren to kill Stumpy, which Darren does willingly. Tired of seeing John Boy abuse his niece (and Tommy's girlfriend) Siobhan being forced to carry packages on flights, Nidge enlists Darren's help to off John Boy and take over his criminal empire. However, Rosie suspects the truth and leaves Darren, knowing that he is nothing but a stone killer.Series three involves conflict between the gang and the IRA, with Tommy and Darren killing a high-level IRA man after he rapes Siobhan.The fallout of the events of series 3 lead to Nidge in hiding at the beginning of series 4, spending very little time at home with the IRA still on his trail. Tommy is implied to be suffering brain damage and ends up being a liability on a Tiger kidnapping. Dano and Lizzie are searching for Nidge in revenge, with Lizzie developing into a Dark Action Girl. Meanwhile, the gardai are becoming more prominent in the series as they investigate.Series 5 follows on soon after series 4 with Nidge taking on a loan from an Irish expat mobster living in Spain and a falling out with a gang of Irish Travellers. Most of the cast either wind up dead, incapacitated or incarcerated by the end.Nothing to do whatsoever with the 2009 short film. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
Love/Hate / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: For a show five seasons long with only six episodes per series (four in series one), there's a high body count. Also, nobody is safe. Of the four main characters who appear in the page image, two are dead, one is in a coma and the other was last seen with a pool cue up his arse. | |

Katanas Are Just Better: When Nidge's home is invaded in series 4, he carries one as a defensive weapon. Downplayed in that he's hiding the whole time, as it'd be pretty useless against Lizzie's MP5. | |

Rape as Drama | |
Love/Hate / int_12dd1d4c | comment |
Nidge seems to be going through one in series 3 from the stress of dealing with Git's rape of Siobhan, Darren and Tommy's subsequent killing of Git and the gang's disposal of the body, his own No-Holds-Barred Beatdown of Tommy, the guards and the IRA onto them for Git's disappearance, Darren's killing of an innocent witness and going bald. | |

Dublin Skanger | |
Love/Hate / int_191977ca | comment |
Dublin Skanger: The show really popularized this trope in Irish media - thick Dublin accents, tracksuit bottoms as default attire, crewcuts as regulation hairstyles and everyone being involved in crime or on drugs. But with plenty of aversions to ground the story (Rosie, Mary, Trish) it's seen as an example of how to do it well. | |

Throw-Away Guns: Darren dumps a pistol in the canal after he makes a hit. Lizzie calls him out on it, as the weapon was belonged to the IRA and was meant to be returned. Fridge Brilliance kicks in when you realise that pistols are something the IRA has always had a shortage of. | |

Love/Hate / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Git Loughman's fingerbone. After the gang burn and bury his corpse, Fran keeps it for fun at first and then for luck. In series 5, he keeps it in his fridge. Siobhan finds out about it and obtains it to plant in Nidge's house to give the gardai evidence against him. Ultimately, this is a moot point, as Nidge gets killed before he can be arrested. | |

Notably, Darren beats a man for dumping a rubbish bag in his sister's wheelie bin, Tommy beats Git to the point where he breaks his neck, Nidge beats Tommy into a coma with a golf club and John Boy beats a uniformed Corrupt Cop in broad daylight. | |

Love/Hate / int_25afd4a3 | comment |
Good Guns, Bad Guns: Inverted with pistols: The Glock 17 and Beretta 92 are mostly seen in the hands of criminals, while the SIG-Sauer P226 is correctly depicted as a police weapon. Played straight with Sawed Off Shotguns and AKs though, the latter of which is only shown to be in possession of the IRA and the former is mostly used for Knee Capping. | |

Hollywood Healing: Averted. Series 2 establishes Darren to still have scarring from his gunshot wound at the end of series 1. Aido gets knee-capped at the start of series 3 and spends the rest of the series in a cast. He even notes that he has applied for a disabled parking permit for his car. Elmo gets shot in the abdomen by Darren in series 1. He is let out of the hospital, but is told that he needs to get his wound cleaned regularly and may need a colostomy bag. | |

Kick the Dog: Despite his letting Hughie die rather than call an ambulance, you might have felt sorry for Elmo. So he broke a bottle over a barman's head when the Barman tried to get him to leave at closing time. Happens a lot. Darren's assaulting of a man who did nothing more heinous than dumping his bin bag in his sister's bin is a good example. Lizzie beating a man with a tyre iron for calling the gardai. | |

Murder the Hypotenuse: Darren kills Stumpy, though not just because of Rosie. John Boy orders him to do it. It's just the fact that Stumpy is Darren's rival for Rosie's affections makes it easier for him. She eventually deduces the truth (along with the fact that he offed John Boy as well) and leaves him for it. | |

Batman Gambit: When Elmo refuses to cooperate with gardai after being arrested for his part in a cash in transit robbery, they release him without charge, much to his exasperation, leading to Nidge suspect that he has ratted them out. To hammer the point home, a team of plainclothes officers spraypaint "ELMO IS A RAT" across the block of flats where Elmo lives, thus creating tension within the gang. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Most of the show's season finales are outright Downer Endings, but season 2 ends on probably the most positive note. That's not saying much, though. Despite Darren managing to clear off his debts and taking care of both Stumpy and John Boy, loses Rosie because of it. Season 3 establishes that Mary cut contact with him as well, leaving him with almost nobody he cares about. | |

Downer Ending: The end of series 2. Rosie leaves Darren because of what he's become. Debbie, without John Boy to fund her heroin habit resorts to prostitution. Darren's death in series 3. Tommy winding up in a coma for a second time in series 4. Series 5 probably has the biggest downer ending of all. Fran gets caught and sent back to prison and winds up with a broken pool cue up his arse. Ado and Nadine's relationship is finished. Tommy is still in his coma. Elmo is doing five years for drug possession. The cops have no legitimate evidence on Nidge, so Siobhan tries to plant some. Janet, Siobhan and Nidge all get killed. | |

Affably Evil: Nidge. You see him interacting with his family quite a lot and he deeply cares about them. But, man oh man, does he ever have a nasty streak. He also gets some of the funniest lines. Fran was the comic relief for most of series three, but when the time came to threaten a witness he was so funny saying a line like "your hair will grow back but your face won't". Bonus points for having had sex with her a few episodes beforehand. | |

Police Are Useless: Subverted. While it seems that the gang can get away with a lot, there are occasions when the gardai swoop in effectively and efficiently. The gang do tend to get Off on a Technicality most of the time. Inspector Moynihan is an archetypal good cop and weeds out the Dirty Cop very soon after his introduction. | |

After enlisting a bit of backup, he enters Fran's cell. Unfortunately for him, Fran was well aware that someone would try to kill him and had made a shank out of a toothbrush and a couple of razorblades. In the ensuing fight, Fran stabs Pottsie in the eye. | |

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Nobody in Dublin, barring Darren, Stumpy or possibly Lizzie, can shoot straight. Of particular note is when the IRA kidnap Nidge, armed with Kalashnikovs and are fought off by Darren, only armed with a pistol. Darren doesn't take a scratch and manages a Boom, Headshot! on Lizzie's brother. This comes back to bite him in the ass. Recovering junkie Packie is sent to kill Patrick Ward. His heart not really in it, it gives him a shaky hand. His first shot his Patrick in the chest, but his Bulletproof Vest saves him. When he shrugs this off, Packie begins to flee, firing wildly in Patrick's direction, hoping to score another hit, having been told to Double Tap in the head. Patrick charges him and delivers a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown, but a stray shot hits his son in the head. | |

Pyrrhic Victory: Series 2. Darren is no longer in Fran's debt, due to John Boy paying it off for him, and no longer in John Boy's debt, due to having killed him and has Stumpy out of the way to boot. However, when it looks as if he's going to live Happily Ever After with Rosie, she turns around and dumps him, knowing that he will never truly leave the life of crime behind him as well as what he has done. By series 3, his own sister has disowned him as well, marking his change from Anti-Hero to Villain Protagonist. | |

Siobhan manages to get Git Loughman's finger and successfully plants it in Nidge's bathroom cabinet. As she's leaving, Nidge confronts her and she tells him everything and that the gardai are on their way. As she does, Patrick shoots her several times as he guns for Nidge. | |

Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster! | |
Love/Hate / int_ecc8b108 | comment |
Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster!: Averted. The criminal life is not shown to be a good one despite the large amounts of cash flying around. Anyone who holds the mantle of head of the gang winds up looking over their own shoulder constantly with their paranoia eventually costing them their lives. Anyone else seems to wind up dead, seriously injured or in prison. | |

Shur Fine Guns: Guns have an alarming tendency to jam at inappropriate moments on this show. Of course, many of the people using them (barring, maybe Nidge) are likely unfamiliar with basic firearm maintenance. Though, it's subverted in series 3, when one guy attempts to kill Darren and his weapon jams. Darren disarms him and keeps the gun, using it to defend himself the next time he gets attacked. Darren is concerned that the IRA are going to provide him with "some piece of shit" before doing a hit for them as a favour. Nidge assures him that the weapon provided is a tested, but never fired Beretta. When Nidge goes after the arms dealer who supplied the pipe bomb used on Fran's house, his Glock is knocked from his hand, hitting the magazine release off a wall. When the weapon fails to fire, Nidge frantically searches for the magazine, clears the misfire, reloads and gets back firing. Of course, his quarry uses this opportunity to escape. | |
