The television series KIN is one of the most internationally acclaimed Irish shows in recent memory (alongside the hilarious comedy DERRY GIRLS), in no small part because of its incredible onscreen talent. The most surprising star of Kin, though, is Clare Dunne. Dunne plays Amanda Kinsella, who begins the show as a put-upon and caring mother struggling to raise her children Jamie and Anthony safely while her husband’s family runs a crime empire in Ireland and stumbles into a gang war.
