Frank of Ireland’on Amazon : Premier Date, First trailer

The official trailer gives us a hint of what to expect, and just how hilarious this show is going to be. If you love the likes of Derry Girls, you’ll enjoy this one. There is a dark element to the comedy.

We get to see who Frank is, and the fact that his family is fed up of him. He’s a guy who thinks the world owes him, when really he uses everyone around him. Even his mom has had enough, leading to telling him he needs to find his own place.

It’s clear that he is selfish, but will he change when he’s forced to? And what happens when he has a friend who is enabling him to be like this?

"Frank of Ireland": Plot

In terms of a plot, the show revolves around frank Marron (Brian Gleeson), a 32-year-old catastrophe; a misanthropic fantasist in arrested development who’s convinced that the world owes him. He's also our hero.

Frank is newly single and still lives at home with his mother, Mary (Pom Boyd).

He’s a self-proclaimed musician with a tenuous hold on reality, and hasn’t written a song or played a gig in years.

His ex-girlfriend Áine (Sarah Greene) has just found a new boyfriend, and Frank may be finding that a tad difficult. Luckily, Frank has a loyal best friend, Doofus, (Domhnall Gleeson) whose full-time job is clearing the debris left in Frank’s wake.

Set in an idyllic suburb of Dublin, Frank of Ireland is the hilarious story of a man’s hapless search for respect, as he struggles to grow up and get his life together, and hopefully not burn everything to the ground in the process.

Aside from the brilliant talent that's on-screen - Love/Hate star Tom Vaughan-Lawlor and Pat Shortt also star - the show is executive produced by Sharon Horgan too.
