Felt unfinished.


I enjoyed this for the most part but I feel like it should continue as a series. The end was so anticlimactic and there is so much more historically that they can cover. I would like to see what happens to the dad that had to go back to the front, I felt for his character the most.

I can imagine.

"Rebellion is a 2016 mini-series that covers the events leading up to, during and after the Easter Rising. It was created on a budget of €6,000,000 as a part of the 100th anniversary commemoration of the events of the Rising. It is due to be followed by a sequel series set during the War of Independence."

I hope so. There was definite foreshadowing with Michael Collins in the last several episodes.

There is room for a second season.

and well it should. This batch of 5 episodes focused on the 1916 Easter uprising and it would be another 6 years before British rule in (Most of) Ireland ended. They could easily do a season on the period 1916-1919 and another on the 1919-1921 uprising.

You will be happy to know that the 2019 miniseries "Resistance" was a follow-up to this.
