Your watch list for Saint Patrick’s Day on MHz Choice

Corp + Anam was the first Irish language TV drama to screen in America when it premiered on MHz Choice in 2017 to great acclaim. The eight-episode series centers around TV crime correspondent Cathal Mac Iarnáin (Diarmuid de Faoite) as a touchy and tenacious reporter. His style is not exactly warm and fuzzy, which matches the series’ gritty portrayal of where crime and politics meet.

This critically-acclaimed satire follows the exploits of Vincent Flynn in his attempt to take on the comically corrupt political establishment. Vince’s campaign team is far from a well-oiled political machine – more of a land of misfit toys that includes an alcoholic ex-schoolteacher, his pregnant daughter and a party old-timer. Despite his chances, Vince may be just crazy enough to win!

Praise for The Running Mate

“Funny, smart and original…a political drama with balls”
– Hilary Fannin, The Irish Times

“[T]he makers of The Running Mate were clever enough to see that there is as much drama at the bottom of the political ladder as there is at the top”
– Anne Marie Hourihane, The Irish Times

The shortest of our Irish series in just three dramatic parts, Grace Harte centers on a passionless marriage between Grace (Kate Nic Chonaonaigh, Corp + Anam) and her husband Leo Harte (Dara Devaney, Above Suspicion). The crumbling hotel they run together matches Grace’s view of her marriage to Leo. She finds hope in Danny, a handsome young surfer, but her pursuit of happiness is full of unintended consequences.
