Vanity Fair:

FX may have its next great series with this adaptation of Patrick Radden Keefe’s best-seller, which examines the intersecting lives of two women in ’70s Belfast: an IRA soldier and a mother who’s gone missing.

The series moves in its own direction while maintaining the spirit and scope of the book. Helmed by creator Josh Zetumer (Patriots Day), with Keefe on board as an executive producer, Say Nothing opens with a visceral recreation of McConville’s disappearance before we meet an older Dolours (Maxine Peake), sitting for an interview for the Belfast Project and preparing to tell her life story. Scenes of Dolours in the present provide the frame for the meat of the series, which is set during her extraordinary youth as a teenage Dolours (Lola Petticrew) and her younger sister, Marian (Hazel Doupe), are gradually radicalized amid intensifying British rule in Northern Ireland. The tight focus on the Price sisters offers a moving snapshot of their coming of age through pivotal moments in the history of the Troubles, and the series gradually delineates how their specific work in the IRA relates to McConville’s tragic fate.
