I hate soaps but we're giving #RedRock a go, TV3 deserve credit for going out on a limb to make it. — Adrian Shanahan (@adrianshanahan) January 7, 2015

Country and #western theme for #RedRock bad start. — Tom Dowling (@TomTDowling) January 7, 2015

#RedRock is like the new #lovehate! Why do all the #irish shows have to represent us as bring so rough & low class??? — Honee Bee (@MarcandKlaire) January 7, 2015

I think I spotted meself! In a 'crowd scene' at the 46A bus stop! #RedRock — Marian Keyes (@MarianKeyes) January 7, 2015

Garda partners Paudge Brennan and Sharon Cleere are a bit of a double-act: He's the comic relief, she's the heart of the show. #RedRock — Laura Slattery (@LauraSlattery) January 7, 2015

You know what #RedRock needs? Blackie Connors. — Simon Murdoch (@Simon_Murdoch) January 7, 2015

All that's missing from #RedRock is the guards in the staff room discussing their night out at @CopperFaceJacks. — Eleanore Hutch (@elehutch) January 7, 2015

Oooh Senior Garda having an affair with a schoolgirl... The scandal of it all... #RedRock — Flidders (@OfficialNedK) January 7, 2015
