It’s all over.

REBELLION wrapped up on RTÉ last night.

The five-part series dramatising the 1916 Rising got a mixed reaction from viewers. We had lots of thoughts over the past five weeks…

1. On the overall quality

The kids with the lego did a better job than RTÉ #Rebellion

2. WAS IT FOR THIS?

To think men & women gave their lives so the Irish could sit around moaning about a TV show with their imaginary friends online. #rebellion

3. Of course a rugby ad would appear during the leader’s executions

Whoops!

Was that giant rugby ad over the executions of the rising leaders a technical mistake?? #Rebellion

5. But most importantly, Elizabeth was getting good wear out of her clothes

Lizzie is getting great wear out of that wedding dress #Rebellion

Sure why would you spend that much on a dress just to wear it once?

6. Nobody could ignore all the riding

#Rebellion Mother of God. Is this the Easter Rising or the Easter Riding?

9. They underestimated just how much the Irish care about the weather

Watching #Rebellion on @rte . Underwhelmed. One major error: it's raining. Easter Monday 1916 was an unseasonably hot sunny day.

Episode five ends with John Bruton stepping out of a DeLorean, too late, as usual. #Rebellion

Was an unarmed policeman really shot dead at Dublin Castle during the Easter Rising?

Spare a thought for everyone watching Rebellion with their mams and dads last night>
