This should be an absolute must-watch.
Sky announced a huge amount of their original programming due to arrive in 2023, including new movies and TV shows, and the one title that immediately caught our eye was Dublin Narcos. The official synopsis is as follows:
“A new three-part docu-series will launch on Sky Crime on Sunday, 5 March. Over the 1980s and 1990s Dublin transformed from a recession-blighted city to a growing metropolis. As its fortunes changed, so too did its criminals, with heroin, ecstasy, and cocaine use on the rise. Dublin Narcos tells the story of the increase in addiction, violence, and organised crime during this period with first hand testimonies from drug kingpins and former Gardaí, as well as those who were caught up in a cycle of addiction. We also hear from the fearless journalists whose attempts to expose the drug barons led to the death of one of their bravest, Veronica Guerin.”
Also part of the Sky Originals line-up, and another connection to Dublin, is Gary Neville’s The Overlap on Tour, which follows footballing legends Gary Neville, Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher on a trip like no other as they travel to Dublin, Liverpool, Manchester and London as part of The Overlap’s Live Arena Tour.
Other standouts on the line-up include Michael Mann’s (Heat, Manhunter) new epic Ferrari, starring Adam Driver and Penelope Cruz, which dives into the history of the iconic car company, and May December from director Todd Haynes (Carol, Far From Heaven), starring Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore.
Commenting on Sky Original programming announcement, JD Buckley, the CEO of Sky Ireland, said the following: “We are very excited to announce our latest slate of projects for 2023, including superb programming, featuring some of Ireland’s finest talent across drama, film and more. We have created something for everyone with our Sky Original offering and we hope our customers love it.”
