TV3 finally launched eagerly-awaited new soap Red Rock tonight and it seems that half the country were watching it.
Whether you’re #Team Kiely or #TeamHennessy, the latest addition to our screens certainly got people talking and here’s what the lovely people of Twitter had to say…
I hate soaps but we’re giving #RedRock a go, TV3 deserve credit for going out on a limb to make it.

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

All that’s missing from #RedRock is the guards in the staff room discussing their night out at @CopperFaceJacks.

Oooh Senior Garda having an affair with a schoolgirl… The scandal of it all… #RedRock
