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 Inkoo Kang New Yorker In setting, subject matter, and theme, the series stands refreshingly apart from most other American programming, and its longitudinal account of political disillusionment makes it one of the year’s finest shows. Nov 22, 2024 Full Review Charlotte Harrison Charlotte Sometimes Goes to the Movies A compelling drama that features representation of the Troubles that we have never seen before; a powerful rumination on the reckoning of conflict trauma. Rated: 5/5 Nov 24, 2024 Full Review Joel Keller Decider Say Nothing gives an authentic view of a time period that still resonates with the people of both Ireland and Northern Ireland to this day. Nov 20, 2024 Full Review Jean Henegan Pop Culture Maniacs It’s rare that a series is able to tackle a complex and thorny subject with as much grace as Say Nothing manages – buoyed by strong writing, a clear narrative arc, and stellar performances, the series is a must watch in my book. Rated: 4.3/5 Nov 20, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

CHRIS M I binge watched the last four episodes*. This show is so well done by the end I felt quite invested in the conflicted an complicated life of IRA "volunteer" Dolours Price, as if I knew her personally. *After watching the first five one at a time. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review Ruth H Factual account of the Irish “troubles”. Shows the good, the bad and the ugly of both sides of this complicated conflict, as well as the people involved. Not exactly holiday fare but so well done and thought provoking it will haunt you long afterwards. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Alissa W One of the best shows I’ve seen all year. So thoughtfully written and the acting by everyone especially by Lola Petticrew who does an amazing job as a young Dolours Price. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Andrew L A great watch - informative but also great characters. I was on the edge of my seat for all nine episodes, each one delving into its own facet of a complicated period of history. Another FX masterpiece - the next Shogun! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Stephen C Absolutely brilliant show the actors were natural not like most northern Ireland shows with false accents and maxine peake put on a very good accent the best show I have ever seen about the troubles in Ireland 100% for me Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Bob P An absolute masterpiece. The script, the cinematography, the score and my god the acting is superb. Lola Petticrew steals the show but everyone is great including a young and older Gerry Adams. This is going to make a lot of Irish people uneasy but it is a sad part of the history of a divided Ireland. Hopefully one day it will be reunited.
