Dublin dysfunction in The Dry series two

Dublin comedy drama The Dry made a welcome return to ITVX last month, reuniting viewers with the Sheridans, a family so messed up that they are a bigger threat to daughter Shiv’s sobriety than the booze.

Writer and creator Nancy Harris told the RTS that The Dry was “never a show just about addiction; it was about how somebody lives within their family”.
