(5 étoiles; 1 critique)

Irish Noir is a captivating four-part documentary series presented by John Kelly that delves into the story of Irish crime fiction. It traces the genre's gothic origins, explores the fast-paced narratives born from Celtic Tiger excess, and examines the bleak fictional landscape shaped by Austerity Ireland.

Over the last 15 years, Irish crime writing has seen a renaissance in popularity, rivaling that of Scandinavian and Scottish crime writing. This series investigates why it took so long for this genre to gain a solid foothold in Ireland, considering the influences of politics and history, as well as the overshadowing success of literary giants like Joyce and Beckett.
