About this show
They say you should never meet your hero. My hero should never have met me. Lizzy is 27 years old and packing up her Dublin hovel to move back in with "Daddy Dearest", which was not the plan. Inspired by the feared and radical investigative journalist Margo Murphy, Lizzy has only ever wanted one thing: to humiliate bullies in the national press. Even if she must work two jobs and rent a mouldy room for €800 a month, she’ll do it. Except it's 2026, and hard work gets you nowhere, so she’ll need to be ruthless...
