TL;DR Summary

The FX series adaptation of Patrick Radden Keefe's book "Say Nothing" focuses on the life of Dolours Price, a key figure in the IRA during The Troubles in Northern Ireland. While the series cannot match the book's depth in historical context, it effectively portrays the personal struggles and radicalism of Price, played by Lola Petticrew and Maxine Peake. The show highlights the haunting consequences of the conflict, particularly through the stories of Price and the McConville family, whose mother was murdered by the IRA. Despite its limitations as a historical account, the series offers a compelling character study of Price's complex legacy.
