Powerful TV series set in Ireland during Troubles is praised as being the greatest show of all time.
Are you ready for the latest must-watch series? Say Nothing, a historical drama that follows the tumultuous events of the Troubles in Ireland, has just been released on Disney Plus. And let me tell you, viewers are absolutely blown away by its powerful and emotional storytelling.

Created by Josh Zetumer and based on Patrick Radden Keefe's bestselling novel of the same name, Say Nothing takes us on a journey through four generations of people living through the Troubles in Northern Ireland from the 1970s to the 1990s. It delves into their involvement with the Provisional Irish Republican Army (also known as the Irish Republican Army or Provos) and the Disappeared – victims believed to have been killed by republican paramilitaries.

The series also sheds light on the haunting murder of Jean McConville, a woman who was abducted and killed by the IRA in 1972 for allegedly spying for British forces. Her body was secretly buried in County Louth, leaving her family and loved ones with no closure.

Starring Silk actor Maxine Peake, as well as Lola Petticrew, Hazel Doupe, Anthony Boyle, and Josh Finan, Say Nothing has received rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. It currently holds a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with many praising its gripping and thought-provoking narrative.

The Financial Times described it as a "story of national tragedy and individual trauma" that doesn't shy away from the brutal realities of violence. The Telegraph called it "elegiac and profound," while Decider hailed it as a "triumph." And Loud and Clear praised its "blistering, poignant, and shocking" portrayal of a political issue.

Even celebrities can't stop raving about Say Nothing. Mark Duplass, star of The Creep Tapes, called it "one of the best shows he's ever seen" and praised its exceptional storytelling. And viewers couldn't agree more, with many taking to social media to declare it as the "best series ever" and "phenomenal."

But Say Nothing is more than just a gripping drama. It's a poignant and timely reminder of the horrors and devastation caused by the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Based on Keefe's book, it stays true to its source material and delivers a powerful message about the impact of violence on individuals and communities.

So, if you're in the mood for a gripping and thought-provoking series, Say Nothing is a must-watch. And as the author himself, Patrick Radden Keefe, puts it, it may elicit a complicated emotional response, but its intention and good faith are undeniable. So, go ahead and stream Say Nothing on Disney Plus now. You won't regret it.
