Say Nothing

Say Nothing is an extraordinary and fearless series, based on Patrick Radden Keefe's rigorously reported 2018 book, that refuses to play things safe.

The fictionalised drama dares to take us inside the minds of the highest ranking IRA members in 1970s Northern Ireland as they justify terror and murder as political weapons.

At its centre is Dolours Price, who along with her sister Marian served a prison sentence for their part in a London car bombing.

Marian Price has announced that she plans to sue Disney+ because the show also depicts her shooting Jean McConville, a mother of 10 who was abducted and disappeared, which Price has always denied doing.

Dolours died in 2013.

The actors bring the characters to life with passion. Lola Petticrew captures the earnest conviction of the young Dolours, and Maxine Peake is especially stirring as the older Dolours, who regrets some of her past actions and wonders what she actually accomplished.

Along with its tense drama, the series is intimate and infused with thoughtfulness.
