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 Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) There is a crackling authenticity -- and gallows humour -- to the dialogue and performances. This is a bitterly brilliant limited series about the need to break the crippling grip of silence. Rated: 5/5 Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Diane Carson KDHX (St. Louis) [An] admirable endeavor, providing an insightful, sensitive and yet profoundly critical perspective on the IRA and other such groups involving unquestioned allegiance to brutal, cultish movements. Dec 24, 2024 Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof ... Although far from perfect, 'Say Nothing' is an exciting crime thriller. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Fiona Underhill MovieJawn A truly astonishing feat of adaptation, aided by outstanding cinematography, editing, casting, and acting. Joshua Zetumer has done an incredible job of translating an extremely complex story to the television screen. Dec 3, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Andrei D Fails to sustain its momentum during the second half but it's very good during its first Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/18/24 Full Review Paul B Hands down the best series i have seen this year, the acting is phenominal, the casting is spot on, and the makeup wow. the story is gripping, and i wasn't bored at all through any of the episodes. some of the scenes can be a hard watch, but that's what gives it the edge over anything i have seen this year. i recommend 100% Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Indi S This show was incredible!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Al B I was riveted throughout each of the 9 episodes. This morally complex retelling of the Troubles in Northern Ireland increased my understanding of those terrible events and now I’m reading the highly acclaimed book on which the series was based. The acting is superb and the production design seemed incredibly authentic; I literally felt like I was in Belfast or London during the times of the events being portrayed. You could almost feel and smell the environments coming off the screen. They really nailed the production design, and the sets, cinematography and music were first rate. There is sadness, regret, sarcastic Irish humor, suspense, and sorrow in the retelling of this episode of Irish history that I will never forget. This show will stay with me for quite awhile. Say Nothing was for me the best thing I’ve seen on television this year. Not to be missed. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/11/24 Full Review Yash B "Say Nothing" is gripping and unforgettable television. Going into this not that familiar with Irish history and the real people involved, I found myself completely engrossed for all 9 episodes. The performances in this are really good and a lot of the moral dilemmas and situations of betrayal are so complex and thought-provoking. The show is also entertaining at times as an espionage thriller and also other times as a somber and harrowing drama. Overall, this is one of the finest miniseries to come out in 2024 and it keeps me waiting to see what project FX does next. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review Jockecoca B Good show, but nothing spectacular. Last 3 episodes are a bit to slow Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
