About this show

When Dublin-based solicitor Tara Rafferty (Amy Huberman, The Clinic) discovers that her fiancé and fellow solicitor, Eric (Rory Keenan, War & Peace), has been cheating on her with a colleague, she breaks up with him, quits her job at the prestigious law firm where they worked together, and begins accepting clients out of a makeshift office in the back of a café. With the help of Ray (Emmet Byrne, Red Rock), her street-smart client-turned-assistant, private detective Meg Riley (Fiona O’Shaughnessy, Utopia), and friend and mentor Senior Counsel Vincent Pike (Neil Morrissey, Line of Duty), Tara takes on a series of cases that often pit her against her former colleagues and the influential families of the legal establishment she is trying to leave behind.

Not often that a follow up series two is as good as the first, not so in this case. Both series are absolutly fab. Excellent acting, pace and storyline. I have really enjoyed both.
