I have always known that the people of Ireland were starved to death by England as it was told to me by my grandparents and parents. Famine was not the cause of these deaths. The Irish were also enslaved and became indentured servants in America in the late 1800's

This is a disgraceful insult to the memory of the dead. What's next the Highland Clearances, Bloody Sunday, The Hunger Strike, The Peterloo Massacre, The Jews in Nazi Germany? I'm guessing that's enough suggestions to keep insensitive idiots busy for a year or two.

Facts cannot be changed no matter how much time goes by. The English wanted the Irish eliminated any way they could do it.

Since when has forced starvation of thousands of people been considered humorous?
Thoroughly distasteful subject for a comedy,what next? a cute tale of the 'gallow's humor' set in the Nazi death camps?

Its no shock to me that the British would make jokes about the people of Ireland suffering and starving to death as that was their plan for are people back then. Darkness cloaked in jokes

But for this horrific time in Ireland's history my family, probably myself also, would be at home on the West Coasts of Galway or Mayo. This is a time that should be ever remembered but not turned into a cause for laughter.

Disgusting for someone to even THINK this would be appropriate.

It's sad to think of a government that treated us so badly.

Would a tv station write a comedy about the Ethiopia famine of 30 years ago? Thought not. So, why is it acceptable to even finance a script, not to mind show such a series, about a similar situation that happened in Ireland?

An Gorta Mor was not funny to anyone then and treating it as such in a TV program now is not just disrespectful; it is a low-life proposal and a shame.

I fail to see any humour in starving people which is what the English did to the Irish in this 1845-1850 period.
