The only Irish tv drama that dealt with Irish History

with Black '47.

The McGanns deserve so much praise for getting this produced.

I can't say Thank You, enough, to all who made it possible.

To this time (2016), I find it pretty weird that there's not been any others produced. It's like nobody wants to touch it, so that it's taboo.

Unless I am not aware of other drama titles on Irish history, please let me know what they are. So I'll say there are no other dramas that have effectively and realistically dealt with this part of Irish History, or any time of Irish History.

Yes, there are documentaries, thank goodness, but dramas engage and move people in a way that documentaries don't, and more people will watch them.

Movies: there are scant few dramatic movies about the earlier history of Ireland. These films presented the topic of pre 20th century Ireland in the most peripheral way, as background...to a character's emigration. Like...the Ron Howard film Far and Away with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

Yes, there was an old film about Cromwell (Richard Harris), but Ireland was a bit of background. And yes, there have been a number of films that are okay with featuring the 2oth century rebels, IRA, The Troubles, and Irish independence.

We have seen so many historic films and series about England and Britain, we know the intimate details of its Royal Family, its ruling class gentry going back and back, etc...and so many various historical periods within its history that Americans (and other countries) know it better than their their own history (Henry and his wives) Edwardian, Victorian, Elizabethan.... They've made good films and dramas, no doubt about it. But...

Now that there are more and more historical based dramas being produced and having good viewership : Vikings, The Last Kingdom, Black Sails, Outlander, Spartacus, Rome, the many BBC/PBS productions over the years, John Adams, Borgias, Da Vinci's Demons, Lewis and Clark (green lighted but yet to be filmed),and others...

I'd like to see on ongoing dramatic series, or mini series based on the history of Ireland (not just the 1847-1849 famine period or the 20th century either, because there's so much context/history so FULL of drama...)They could start the first season with the beginnings, Early Celts, Druids, Vikings, and onward through the centuries.

I'm also interested in seeing historical dramas about other countries: Russia, Germany, China, Africa, histories of North and South America prior to Columbus.

I think people are very interested in more historical based dramas in the form of a series/mini series, if well done.

Sombody with lots of money needs to get this going. They surely have wonderful locations with which to film it.

It's time for a dramatic historical series about Ireland.
