'Utterly terrific': Fans flock to social media to share thoughts on 'explosive' first episode of season 2 of RTE's Kin

The “explosive” opening episode of the second season of the hit crime drama Kin aired on Sunday night after a long wait and viewers were loving it.

Kin’s much-anticipated season two opener dropped on RTÉ last night, two days after stars of the show joined Ryan Tubridy on the Late Late Show, well over a year after the season one finale aired and while fans took to Twitter to discuss how the episode was “worth the wait” - other’s had some issues figuring out just what the characters were saying.
