I watched it all, I liked the first one after that it was bad, It was padded out with baddies Living on their wits and blaming others girls getting pregnant and even a hint of Lesbian attention.
I found it very disappointing, It promised a lot but failed to deliver. There were some good actors in it though:.

RTE set to put Rebellion down as viewers turn off
The future of RTE's Rebellion is now in serious doubt following a dismal end to the Easter Rising drama.
The five-part programme - a multi-million-euro production by the State broadcaster to commemorate the 1916 Rising - came to a close on Sunday night with a further drop in viewers.

After these posts - and checking out the latest reviews, I can see it's ended up as a bit of a train crash, which is a pity. Looks like they may have squandered a great opportunity.Everything is self-evident.

RTE’s ‘Rebellion’ – truth and ethics be damned
By Tom Stokes
There is a convention that should normally apply to critics reviewing art, drama, etc. of trying to find some element worthy of praise even in a review which is necessarily harsh in general terms. In the case of RTE’s ‘Rebellion’ series, that is difficult, given the overall awfulness of this entire enterprise.
So yes, of course, the actors did their best, one presumes, with the material they were given to work with – the lines that were written for their characters, and the directions given them by the series’ director. And yes, the wardrobe team, and hair and makeup, and set dressers and the other functionaries in the process presumably did their best, and some of it was good. But that is not enough.
A film or a TV drama or a staged play depends in the first place on a script, including the premise on which it is grounded. As the ideas develop the script will have a central plot and a series of sub-plots that weave through the narrative, all of which have to be tied up by the end. Crucially, it will also have its main characters – the protagonist (hero) who has a need or goal, and the antagonist (villain) who blocks the achievement of that need or goal. Think of Neil Jordan’s ‘Collins’, Spielberg’s ‘Schindler’s List’, or Dorothy and the Wicked Witch in ‘The Wizard of Oz’. We all understand this aspect of story-telling, partly through instinct and life experience and partly because we implicitly know the structure of story-telling. Good guy, bad guy, and the journey towards resolution."Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, misdiagnosing it, and then misapplying the wrong remedies.”
