Hulu's 'Say Nothing' Thrills with Edgy Adaptation of a Bestseller
TL;DR Summary
The FX/Hulu miniseries "Say Nothing," adapted from Patrick Radden Keefe's book, struggles to balance its multiple storylines and characters while depicting Northern Ireland's Troubles. The series focuses on Dolours Price, an IRA member, and her complex journey from nonviolent protest to violent activism. While the show captures the nuances of the conflict and delivers strong performances, it falters in its narrative cohesion, particularly with the inclusion of the Jean McConville mystery, which feels extraneous. Overall, the series presents a fragmented portrayal of a significant historical period.
