A group of people who make podcasts go to find out what happened to three people who disappeared in a perfect Irish town. But as they figure it out, they find a much bigger and weirder story than they expected. The main characters are Dove, Emmy, and Gilbert, played by Siobhán Cullen, Robyn Cara, and Will Forte. They have a funny but kind of mean way of talking to each other because they have different personalities. They joke around a lot, and it's funny, but more like how people in the UK joke, not like Americans.
Even though the show is supposed to be funny and mysterious, I didn't know I would get so interested in the mystery. The story is a bit hard to understand and keeps changing, but it's interesting anyway. It's not confusing, but it's not too easy to guess what will happen next. Most of the characters are sneaky and have secrets. Some don't trust the podcasters, and others are hiding things from a long time ago.
Will Forte is funny but serious sometimes. Siobhán Cullen's character is tough and doesn't like the other two at first, but she changes. Robyn Cara's character starts off shy but becomes more confident.
Most of the show is good and doesn't waste time, but one part in episode 5 repeats a scene too much. Each episode is about 45 to 50 minutes long, but they keep the story moving. I liked how they mixed humor and mystery without it feeling weird. The actors are all good, and the main three have a good dynamic.
Some parts of the story seem a little fake, and some scenes could be shorter, but it's not a big problem. There's some sex and violence.
