Narrative

Spanning four tumultuous decades during The Troubles in Northern Ireland

The real Dolours Price was married for two decades (1983-2003) to Irish actor Stephen Rea. During that time, Rea appeared in the film for which he is probably best known in the United States: the 1992 romantic thriller The Crying Game. In that film, Rea plays Fergus, a deeply reluctant and ambivalent member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA)–the same organization with which Price was involved for many years. I’ll start by saying that the production of this series is excellent, the acting is excellent, and the overall story is captivating.

This kind of thing is usually only interesting to people from the island, people who were directly involved or history buffs

As someone from Northern Ireland, it’s always great to see anything from here on TV or film, but there’s usually a sense that it’s a "B rate" production at best. I’m delighted to say that this is not the case with ‘Say Nothing’, we’ve made this series in a way that I imagine will be watched and praised by people all over the world. But I think a wider audience will like this because it’s presented as a drama series with characters at its heart. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched something and heard the Northern Irish accent butchered to the point where it gives me goosebumps.

We’re not sure where they’ve been hiding, but they’ve finally found them!

I’ve always thought to myself ‘if only we had top-notch actors (that aren’t Liam Neeson) to play these roles’. The acting was excellent throughout and it’s great to see some homegrown talent getting much-needed and deserved recognition. I wasn’t familiar with most of the cast in this series, but if at least one or two aren’t household names in the UK I’ll be surprised (especially the actors who played the Price sisters). I haven’t read the book, although I would imagine it’s more historical and focused on the facts of what happened during the Troubles.

The series definitely has historical and cultural influences in mind throughout, although it’s largely character-driven

It does a great job of developing the characters and portraying all sides of the characters involved, and it shows a range of emotions for people we’d probably rather see as one-dimensional in real life. My only gripe with this series is that I felt the story of the Troubles was a bit one-sided. The focus is of course on the IRA/Republican movement, as such, it’s no surprise that they’re seen as the protagonists. However, there are two sides to the story with the conflict in Belfast and it feels like the Protestant/Unionist side is completely left out.

I expect this will be a difficult watch for many people, especially those directly affected and those who may still be grieving the loss of loved ones

That being said, I think they’ve done a good job of showing how ugly things get and how the lines become blurred between what’s right and wrong, even in times of war, and even when you’re convinced that the only correct opinion is yours. I hope people can enjoy it for what it is, a great piece of television about a subject that most of the world may have forgotten or never even heard of, and I hope that prejudice doesn’t get in the way of enjoying a good show. There’s a lot to love about Hulu’s streaming offerings this month — get excited for the premieres of brand new series and favorite movies you can watch at home.
