    The Hanging Gale
  

*by C***K on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2014*

Excellent period piece.  Story of the strife and politics that Irish families suffered in the wake of the famine. People are poor, starving; crops are failing.  Folks had little to no income to afford their rents or buy food. Not exaggerated or embellished, the story follows one particular family's struggles in parallel with an English "management" replacement (played superbly by Michael Kitchen).  Kitchen's character at the outset of his arrival in the village only sees the issues from his role as the manager for the owner of the farms; while the families in the local village see him only as the "outsider" and "enforcer" of the landowner's wishes.  Over time and as events unfold, he comes to feel empathy for the families and struggles with his own feelings of loyalty to his position and the plight of the villagers.

    Very well done
  

*by N***M on Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2016*

It is easily understood why the Lords of England were hated by the Irish.  This tells only a small part of the story and as awful as it is, it is still not awful enough.  Thousands of families died from starvation.  This production is very good.  The script is good, the acting, the scenery.  Everything about it was 5 star.

    DARK
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2007*

Until viewing this superb albeit very dark and bloody BBC presentation of "Hanging Gale", I had NO idea of the plight of the Irish in the mid-1800s.  This presentation dwells primarily on the struggles of the Phelan family and mainly about the four brothers as played wonderfully by real life brothers, Paul, Stephen, Joe and Mark McGann--who are very rugged and very handsome; with one brother being a rather emtionally torn priest and all of them prone to violence and not above committing murder.  The brothers are trying to deal with the devastation of poverty, starvation, crop failure, etc.  (along with some of the dreariest  weather that I've ever seen on film) that is happening to their family and friends and, of course, that meant dealing with Captain Townsend as played greatly by Michael Kitchen who is a rather "mild-mannered" agent for the absent and without a clue land owner.  This 2 disc (two episodes on each disc) mini-series is greatly acted and directed.  I certainly now have more knowledge and understanding of what happened to the Irish during the time being depicted.Be advised that this is no cushy "Hallmark" presentation.  It is a very harsh and realistic presentation that never lets up from its depiction of some very grim times.  If you love good drama that will leave you weak in the knees from emotional exhaustion, buy these DVDs.
