Say Nothing (US-IE)
Based on the New York Times best-selling book Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe, this historical true-crime drama limited series from FX is a gripping story of murder and memory in Northern Ireland during The Troubles.

It tells the story of various Irish Republican Army (IRA) members, and explores the extremes some people will go to in the name of their beliefs, the way a deeply-divided society can suddenly tip over into armed conflict, the long shadow of radical violence for all affected, and the emotional and psychological costs of a code of silence.
The series stars Lola Petticrew (Bloodlands, Come Home) as Dolours Price and Hazel Doupe (Sanctuary: A Witch’s Tale, Smother) as Marian Price, young women who became potent symbols of radical politics; Anthony Boyle (Masters of the Air) as Brendan Hughes, a charismatic but conflicted military strategist; Josh Finan (The Responder) as Gerry Adams, a leading political operator who would go on to negotiate peace and has always denied having any involvement with the IRA; and Maxine Peake (Silk) as the older Dolours Price.

In relatively short order, she finds herself on a quest to save a sister who won’t be saved, to find a boy who can’t be found, and to solve a case that will blow her world apart and prove almost as tough to crack as Millie Black herself.
