Story
During the four tumultuous decades of The Troubles in Northern Ireland
The real-life Dolours Price was married to Irish actor Stephen Rea for two decades (1983-2003).
During this time, Rea appeared in the film for which he is probably best known in the United States: the 1992 romantic thriller The Crying Game
In that film, Rea plays Fergus, an extremely reluctant and ambivalent member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) – the same organization that Price was involved with for many years.
The series clearly tries to provide a balance in looking at this period
As someone from the North, it is very surreal to see such a high-quality TV series about this period.
The characters on all sides are developed and played brilliantly, especially Dolours Price and Brendan Hughes, and the odd bout of humour is very welcome and lands well
It is clear that the main focus towards the end is on the disappearances, particularly Jean McConville and several former IRA volunteers, but it does an excellent job of portraying the motivations and circumstances of those who joined the IRA.
Overall, it’s a sometimes exciting but also thrilling watch, I definitely felt it was worth watching one day!
