Plot Synopsis

FRANK OF IRELAND is a half-hour comedy series that centers on Frank Marron, who is a thirtysomething catastrophe -- a misanthropic, narcissistic, fantasist in arrested development who thinks the world owes him something. Frank lives in Dublin with his mother Mary. He is single and his pocket money hasn't increased in a decade or more -- partly because he's a musician, who hasn't written a song or played a gig in seven years and five months. His ex-girlfriend Aine has a new boyfriend Peter-Brian or the first time since they split -- about seven years and five months ago, give or take a day. Frank's wingman, Doofus, foolishly thinks they are best friends and it's his job to blow smoke up, facilitate and attempt to fix the relentless debris in Frank's wake. It's a big job for such a fellow. Written by Michael Moloney and series stars (and brothers) Brian and Domhnall Gleeson, FRANK OF IRELAND premiered on Friday, April 16, 2021, as Amazon Prime released the entire six-episode first season.
