Irish Crime Drama 'Kin' to Stream on AMC+ in September

Premium streaming service AMC+ has been racking up intriguing programming that's of interest to Anglophiles in recent months, from early access to period romance A Discovery of Witches and buzzy thriller Gangs of London to dark historical drama The North Water. Next up is Kin, a star-studded Irish crime drama that tells the story of a close-knit family embroiled in a gangland war.

Set in Dublin, the eight-part drama follows the Kinsellas, who find themselves at serious odds with an international cartel after the hotheaded son of Frank Kinsella gets into a violent altercation with one of Eamon's men - and the Cunningham's retailiate after a boy ends up dead. Outnumbered, out-financed, and out-gunned, the Kinsellas find themselves holed up in their Dublin stronghold while their businesses fail and family members and associates are picked off. But they have something the cartel does not: the unbreakable bonds of blood and family.

Kin is a world where gangsters are treated like reality stars, with nicknames and celebrity status. Where assassins dress up as women, and drug dealers keep exotic pets in their garage. It’s a world of drugs and guns, of murder and loyalty, of family and men. Where gangs work together, fall out with one another, betray one another, and more.
