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 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 Dais Johnston Inverse Its story twists and turns... not keeping you guessing about what’s coming next, but second-guessing your own opinion about what you’re being shown. Dec 2, 2024 Full Review Barbara Ellen Observer (UK) What emerges is a disordered, skewed account, but a powerful one. Rated: 4/5 Nov 25, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

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 kay m Really well done Excellent writing , I’m glad it’s out as most of the millennials won’t know anything about this conflict Great actors as well Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/04/24 Full Review JM M A good TV show, just don't sympathize with the IRA or ETA explosive usage. It's very inhumane. There is no valid reason of doing that. But England should respect the sovereignty of Ireland and leave that Country. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Mary R Didn't know what to expect from this but by the end of the series I had a more nuanced understanding of the troubles. The taking of a widowed mother and devastation of her ten young children forever. No judge, no jury, no proof, just abject power from those in shadows. The sisters' story is handled well. Hate bred from parents, community and the enemy. The energy of youth juxtaposed with the hindsight of age, reflected across the episodes. A heavy subject but very watchable, largely due to the excellent cast. Well paced and definitely worth a watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Who K Brilliantly acted and certainly is a eye opener to that period of time hope to see more from the creator Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
