This show just dropped yesterday on Hulu.  Based on the best selling book of the same title about the Troubles.  We have really good friends who live in Northern Ireland, so the Troubles are really fascinating to me, having met several folks who lived through it, as well as spending time at the Museum of Free Derry and doing a black cab tour of Belfast.  This show looks intense.

I finally picked the book off my shelf and started reading it when I saw the show was coming out.  The book is good so far and I'm looking forward to the show when I'm done.

Strong pilot. 
 

Spoiler

That said, I hate rats and it appears the protagonist is a rat at the conclusion of the first episode. Doesn’t mean it can’t be a great show. Goodfellas is after all my favorite film. 
 

We’ll see how she gets there, but rats usually turn because they don’t want to do prison time.

Really enjoyed it. Interesting mix of perspectives on the events (about which I know very little).

Agreed that it was excellent casting for the characters at different ages. And although I did miss the younger versions in the later episodes, I thought it kept getting better through the end.


The hunger strike episode was rough to watch.

Watching it tonight.  Wife overruled my selection of “The Offer.”

Finally watched that earlier this year. Not perfect but I loved it.

Definitely more fun than Say Nothing.
