The second season of Irish crime drama Kin continues to follow the Kinsella family, who are embroiled in a gangland war in Dublin. The show, which has already aired in Ireland, is now getting its terrestrial release in the UK.
The Kinsellas are described as a "small but tight-knit" crime family in Dublin, Ireland, who find themselves at odds with a powerful drug cartel. Things escalated when a violent confrontation occurred, seeing them go head to head with the Cunninghams.
As the first season came to a close we saw Amanda Kinsella's rise as the new kingpin of Dublin. Meanwhile, Amanda's former paramour, Michael, kept his reluctant role as the Kinsella family enforcer, and Eamon Cunningham was defeated. Like shows set in Ireland?
