"You might be missing your chance to win this war." FX on Hulu has debuted a second trailer for the series Say Nothing, set in Belfast during the infamous The Troubles period. It's out for streaming this week in the US. This historical drama limited series is created by Josh Zetumer for Disney+ and it's produced by FX Productions. Detailing four generations in Northern Ireland during The Troubles, it is an adaptation of the book Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe. The series follows the lives of people growing up in Belfast in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. Starring Lola Petticrew, Hazel Doupe, Anthony Boyle, Josh Finan, and Maxine Peake. For another great film about Belfast, Ireland, I highly recommend watching Kneecap also from this year. This series seems to be more about how a divided nation is bad and hurting each other is bad, but I'm not sure which side it will into regarding the actual politics. Is it pro-Crown or pro-Ireland? Or it's just pro-people? What do you think from this footage?

Here's the second official trailer for FX's The Troubles series Say Nothing, direct from YouTube:

FX's series Say Nothing is a gripping story of murder & memory in Northern Ireland during The Troubles. The nine-episode series is based on the book by Patrick Radden Keefe. Spanning four decades, the series opens with the shocking disappearance of Jean McConville, a single mother of ten who was abducted from her home in 1972 and never seen alive again. Telling the story of various Irish Republican Army (IRA) members, Say Nothing 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. Say Nothing is a series created by writer Josh Zetumer, writer on the movies RoboCop and Patriots Day previously. Based on the book by Patrick Radden Keefe. Featuring episodes directed by Anthony Byrne, Michael Lennox, Mary Nighy, Alice Seabright. Executive produced by Edward McDonnell, Monica Levinson, Josh Zetumer, Michael Lennox. FX debuts this Say Nothing series streaming on Hulu in the US starting November 14th, 2024 coming soon.

Filming took place in the Walton area of Liverpool in May 2023. Filming locations also include Belfast, London, Sheffield,[9] and Shepton Mallet Prison, near Bath in Somerset in August and September 2023.[10]

Broadcast
The series was released internationally on 14 November, 2024, on Disney+ in the UK and elsewhere[11] and on Hulu in the United States.[12]

The series portrays Gerry Adams as being a senior IRA commander. Adams has always denied any involvement in the IRA. Each episode contains an endnote stating "Gerry Adams has always denied being a member of the IRA or participating in any IRA-related violence."[13] At the end of episodes 7 to 9 there is an additional disclaimer that "He further denies any involvement in the abduction of Jean McConville."

Episode 9 depicts Marian shooting Jean McConville. Marian Price has denied any involvement in the death of McConville.[13][14] The episode contains an endnote stating "Marian Price also denies any involvement in the murder of Jean McConville." In December 2024, she initiated legal action against the makers of the show for the depiction.[15]

Reception
Say Nothing has 91% positive reviews from 33 critics and an average rating of 8.3 out of 10 on Rotten Tomatoes. The critics consensus on the website states, "All the more powerful for its moral and political ambiguity, Say Nothing is a haunting depiction of The Troubles."[16] On Metacritic, the series has a "generally favorable" reception based on a weighted average score of 77 out of 100 from 19 critics.[17]

Benji Wilson in The Daily Telegraph awarded the series five stars.[18] Phil Harrison in The Guardian described it as a "gripping drama".[19]

McConville's son was critical of the adaption, saying that "[u]sing what happened to our mother for entertainment is sickening. To make money out of her murder and the pain that has been in our lives ever since is cruel and obscene. I doubt they even think of us as real people."[20]

On 4 December 2024, Marian Price announced, through her solicitor, that she would be taking legal action against Disney+ over the series depicting her killing Jean McConville.[21][22][23]

Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland is a 2018 book by writer and journalist Patrick Radden Keefe. It focuses on the Troubles in Northern Ireland. It spent six weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list and received widespread critical acclaim. It was adapted into a 2024 limited series for FX and Disney+.

Summary
Say Nothing's subject is The Troubles in Northern Ireland, with the 1972 abduction and murder of Jean McConville as a central focus. The book describes the lives of Dolours Price, Brendan Hughes, Gerry Adams, and Jean McConville's children. Through these figures, it offers a history of the Troubles as a whole: the civil rights movement and the turn to violence at the end of the 1960s, the Provisional IRA's bombing campaign, the 1981 hunger strike, the peace process and the opposition it faced within the republican movement, and the post-conflict struggle to understand crimes like McConville's murder. The book also details the efforts of the Belfast Project to research and investigate the events of the conflict. Keefe began researching and writing the book after reading an obituary for Dolours Price in 2013.[2]

Title
The book's title is taken from the poem "Whatever You Say, Say Nothing" by Irish Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney from his collection North (1975).[2]

Publication
Say Nothing was first published by the William Collins imprint of HarperCollins on 1 November 2018. It was later published in the US by Doubleday on 26 February 2019.[3]

The book debuted at number five on The New York Times Combined Print & E-Book Nonfiction best-sellers list on 17 March 2019.[4] It spent six weeks on the list.[5] Say Nothing also debuted at number seven on The New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction best-sellers list on 17 March 2019,[6] and spent six weeks on the list.[7]

Reception
According to Book Marks, the book received "rave" reviews based on twenty-two critic reviews, with 11 being "rave" and 11 being "positive".[8] In Books in the Media, a site that aggregates critic reviews of books, the book received an average rating of 4.54 out of 5 from the site which was based on four critic reviews.[9] In the May/June 2019 issue of Bookmarks, a magazine that aggregates critic reviews of books, the book received an average rating of 4 out of 5 based on critic reviews with a critical summary saying, "All in all, Say Nothing is a "riveting account" (Minneapolis Star Tribune) sure to interest amateur historians".[10][11]

Jennifer Szalai of The New York Times wrote, "Keefe's narrative is an architectural feat, expertly constructed out of complex and contentious material, arranged and balanced just so."[12]

Maureen Corrigan of NPR enthusiastically wrote, "Keefe is a storyteller who captures the complexities of a historical moment by digging deep into the lives of people on all sides of the conflict."[13] Corrigan concludes, "At the end of his panoramic book, which gathers together history, politics and biography, Keefe tightens the focus back to the mystery of McConville's abduction and murder. And, as in the most ingenious crime stories, Keefe unveils a revelation — lying, so to speak, in plain sight — that only further complicates the moral dimensions of his tale."[13]

Devlin Barrett of The Washington Post described how Say Nothing is "a cautionary tale, [that] speaks volumes — about the zealotry of youth, the long-term consequences of violence and the politics of forgetting."[14]

The Economist noted, "The discerning skill with which Mr. Radden Keefe gets inside these characters' minds may unsettle some readers, but it is also his book's strength. He shows how people who in peacetime might just have been strong-willed or colourful types came to condone or perpetrate the unspeakable."[15]

Stephen Phillips of the Los Angeles Times praised the book saying, "'Say Nothing' powerfully documents a society benumbed by trauma attempting to reckon with the abyss that engulfed it."[16]

The book was named one of the top ten books of 2019 by both The New York Times Book Review[17] and The Washington Post.[18] It won the 2019 National Book Critics Circle Award for nonfiction.[19] In 2024, the New York Times named Say Nothing the 19th best book of the 21st century.[20]

Criticism
In May 2019, Irish journalist Ed Moloney, who was the director of the Belfast Project, published a piece in CounterPunch in which he alleged several inaccuracies in Keefe's book. He also criticised Keefe's citation style: "The writing thus flows uninterrupted, appearing to the untutored reader – or reviewer – as being the work of the author when it may not be. It takes hard work and determination to discover how much of this book is truly original reporting and how much is taken from other people's work. A 'more commercial narrative' indeed."[21]

Television adaptation

In February 2024, FX announced that they would be adapting the book into a limited series.[22] The series premiered on 14 November 2024.[23]

The year featured a diverse array of cinematic productions, ranging from major studio blockbusters to independent and streaming platform releases.
