Written by and starring Amy Huberman, Finding Joy has received rave reviews since airing on RTÉ last month.
The six-parter comes to an end this evening, and Amy's in shock, "I can't believe tonight's the last episode".
If you haven't had a chance to watch it (shame on you), here's a quick rundown of what it's all about; Amy plays Joy, who’s thrown from her regular job as a copywriter into a new project where she reluctantly covers Ireland’s most loved vlogger. As well as coming to terms with this new glitzy job, Joy is also struggling to mend herself after a recent break-up and finds herself a little lonely with just her heavily-pregnant friend, Trish and her dog, Aidan to keep her company.
Speaking on Today FM's Dermot and Dave, the actress tells us how much she has enjoyed the new venture, "I've loved it, but it's taken over my life for the last year".
With the writing process having started over two years ago, Huberman has great praise for director Kieron J Walsh, who helped make her vision a reality. And she's fully aware of how tough it must have been for him, "it must be quite tricky for a director to come on board on a project that is written by the person who's acting in it", she giggled.
When asked how much of her is in Joy's character, her reply is simple, "I would probably be less socially awkward", but she laughs that her friend's mightn't agree.
Amy also admits to missing a shout-out from Bono at U2's gig in the 3Arena on Friday night, and explains these snaps:
