Ep 1. The Shkyline

The Hardy Bucks is a mockumentary comedy show set in the town of Castletown in Ireland. The show follows a group of five young men who are always looking for ways to pass their time and make some quick cash. In the first episode of the first season, titled "The Shkyline," the Bucks decide to set up a business taking tourists on a tour of the town's skyline.

The episode begins with Eddie, the unofficial leader of the group, hatching a plan to show tourists the best view of Castletown. After some discussion, the group decides to climb to the rooftop of a local factory to take in the stunning views of the town. They quickly realize that the view is even better from the top of a nearby hill, and so they set up shop at the top of the hill, calling themselves "The Shkyline Crew."

The group sets up a makeshift booth and begins offering tourists the chance to see the best views of Castletown. At first, things go well, and they make some good money. However, it's not long before things start to go wrong. The boys forget to bring enough water and sunscreen and are quickly overrun by swarms of midges, which leads to them having to cut the tour short.

Undeterred, the group persists in their quest to become successful tour guides. They invest in some better equipment, including a megalithic tripod, and even produce a promotional video to attract more customers. However, their success is short-lived, and they quickly find themselves in over their heads.

One of the tourists they take on a tour turns out to be a local councillor who is unimpressed with their business. Things go from bad to worse when they accidentally leave one of their customers stranded on top of the hill, causing the police to get involved. They also cross paths with a gang of local youths who are not pleased with the boys muscling in on their turf.

As the episode comes to a close, things look bleak for the Shkyline Crew. They've made enemies of the local council, the police, and a group of angry youths, and their business has been shut down. However, they're not down and out just yet. The episode ends with Eddie hatching a new plan to make some quick cash, hinting that the boys aren't about to give up just yet.

Overall, "The Shkyline" is a hilarious and entertaining start to the first season of The Hardy Bucks. The show's unique blend of mockumentary-style humor and quirky characters make for an enjoyable watch, and the antics of the Shkyline Crew are sure to have viewers both laughing and cringing in equal measures. With its engaging plot, sharp writing, and great performances, the episode is a must-see for fans of comedy shows and mockumentaries.
