Tell Everyone About Say Nothing
FX’s exploration of the Troubles captures the thrill and romance of revolution — and the cost of its violence.
Dolours Price (an electric Lola Pettigrew) and her sister, Marian (Hazel Doupe, conveying a stormy interiority behind a still face and giant eyes), join the organization after enduring a brutal attack by counterprotesting British loyalists during a nonviolent march. Led by showrunner Josh Zetumer, with a writers’ room composed of Joe Murtagh, Claire Baron, and Kirsten Sheridan, Say Nothing plows through set pieces with a lightness that mimics the fire of youthful conviction in its early stretch. The Price sisters stick up a bank while disguised as nuns, then giggle as they flee the scene; Dolours plays driver in a gun-running operation, where she flirts with a border guard to get past a security check; Brendan Hughes barrels through a quiet neighborhood to evade British soldiers, the camera capturing him from above as he weaves through alleyways with daredevil flair.
