Default New - 'HOLDING' based on Graham Norton's debut novel.
This starts tonight ITV 9pm. I’m going to give it a go.

https://www.whattowatch.com/watching...u-need-to-know

Holding is a new TV adaptation from ITV, based on Graham Norton's debut novel.
The story follows Sergeant PJ Collins, a gentle mountain of a man, who hides from people and fills his days with comfort food and half-hearted police work.
Speaking about the series, Graham Norton said: "I am beyond excited to see the story and characters I created being brought to the screen. I love how the brilliant creative team have transformed my novel into something so rich and dramatic. West Cork is ready for its close-up!"
Some of the cast: Brenda Fricker, Siobhán McSweeney (Derry Girls) as Bríd Riordan, Charlene McKenna (Bloodlands) as Evelyn Ross, Helen Behan (This is England '90), and Pauline McLynn (Father Ted).

Don't worry, If it was filmed in Cork then I'm sure it will depress you enough.

Anyone know if this is a Dark Comic Crime Drama, with too much comedy?

Speaking of Irishness, my wife did her DNA ancestry thing recently, we knew that both of her maternal grandparents were Irish but her dad is adopted (from the London area) so she had no idea about that side of the family.

It turns out she's 99.6% Irish .
