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.
