Graeme Blundell The Australian [Michael Lennox’s] direction, like the performances, compelling and authentic, is not only visceral but enlivened by startling moments of character comedy. Jan 3, 2025 Full Review Lili Loofbourow Washington Post Switching between genres and timelines, “Say Nothing” lays out an immensely complicated and painful story about resistance, betrayal, loss, guilt, fury and regret. Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Nicholas Quah New York Magazine/Vulture As a portrait of young revolutionaries, Say Nothing crackles with the thrill and romance of committing one’s life to an armed cause. Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Alejandro Lingenti La Nación (Argentina) ...an electrifying and dark thriller that moves with great fluidity and captivates from beginning to end. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Feb 16, 2025 Full Review Chloe Schama Vogue The show is a drama—and of the most compelling variety—but like the careful reporting that inspired it, it was made with a devotion to honoring the nuanced experiences it depicts. Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Lola Galán El Pais (Spain) Everything is captured with remarkable realism and excellent performances by Lola Petticrew and Hazel Doupe in the roles of the young Dolours and Mariam, respectively.

Ionut M One of the must-watch series of the year! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/25 Full Review Esra Y Fantastic work about a part of history and a nation that should be talked about much more than it's been done. From directing, writing to acting the show is masterpiece of television. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review Babba O This is a very important story that the entire world needs to see. Unfortunately, this mini-series suffers from being directed by an Irish director who didn't consider who his audience might be on a grand scale, which is a tragic fault and ultimate failure. Most of the characters in this story are largely uneducated poverty class Irish. The acting is very good, but that authenticity, particularly when it comes to accents, regional slang and mumbling lines, makes dialogue often completely unintelligible. I can't count the times we had to stop and rewind and repeat dialogue because we simply couldn't understand a word or phrase. A director who truly wants an international audience to understand what his characters are saying, is cognizant of the difficulty general english speakers have understanding casual mumbled and slang-ridden Irish jargon and informal conversation. Having someone on set to simply assure a line can be understood by a wide english speaking audience likely would have prevented the tens of thousand of viewers who simply gave up on this series after a few episodes. It's worth watching for its historic value. It is very reflective of the book by the same title. But technically, it's a poor job of directing that creates frequent unnecessary speed bumps. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review Rosey R I knew some of the history. Really liked the focus of this story. Acting was phenomenal! Highly recommend. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/17/25 Full Review Heidi O Great character development, story telling, lighting, and editing. So much better than Shogun which is getting positive hype. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Michael S What a wonderful watch! A great show that keeps you wantig the next episode after each previous one finished... some minor issues with production that could be better but overall an absolute must watch for anyone that appreciates quality TV entertainment.
