Viewers all recommend same gritty series on ITV to fans of Irish gangland drama Kin

There's a whole five seasons of it to binge-watch

There's nothing worse than your favourite TV series coming to end.

But, luckily for fans of Irish gangland drama Kin, there's another show that you might just love.

Dublin-set Kin tells the story of the fictional Kinsella family who become embroiled in a gangland war after their son is killed.

The intense RTÉ series, which first aired in 2021, features a stellar cast including Daredevil's Charlie Cox, Belfast's Ciarán Hinds and The Last Duel's Clare Dunne, and has been a massive hit in both Ireland and the UK.

Its second season came out last year.

But, fans of the show have been left in limbo as to whether there's going to be a third season.

Fans of Kin are looking for a new series to binge-watch while they wait for a third season.

While season two's shocking ending hinted at a future for the Kinsellas, there have been conflicting reports on the matter.

Last month, Sinan Sicimoğlu told the Irish Sun that it would be 'impossible' to get some of the actors 'back on the same set'.

However, one of the show's stars, Emmett J. Scanlan revealed his desire to continue working on the series and told LADbible that a third season is 'very much alive'.

"I know that we had the production company and the production company fell apart and stuff like that," he said.

"So it's there for anybody to take, you know.

"I'd love it to be bought by somebody, the BBC, Netflix, anybody really, I'd just love to continue to tell the story and to finish it.

"So unfortunately, I don't have any, any solid views by that - that's not to say that the thing is, it's very much alive. And it's very much in people's consciousness and the more people that say, the more people that like it."

So, while fans wait with their fingers crossed, some are wondering what they can binge-watch in the meantime.

In the 'Netflix Bangers' Facebook group, one person asked: "Can anyone recommend any good series that's similar to Kin please?"

And the response was pretty anonymous: Love/Hate.

The RTÉ series - which stars Killian Scott, Robert Sheehan and Barry Keoghan

- follows Darren Treacy as he returns to Dublin in order to lead a peaceful life, away from the world of crime and drugs.

But, he ends up returning to his old habits after his brother's sudden death leaves him seeking revenge.

People were quick to take to the comments to recommend the drama.

One person called it 'far better than Kin' and another said it was 'amazing'.

While a third person 'didn't want it to end'.

Love/Hate's final episode aired in 2014, however, all five seasons of the crime drama are available for UK viewers on ITVX.
