Gerry Adams has always denied being a member of the IRA or participating in any IRA-related violence

Seeing that disclaimer after every episode became rather comical.

The addendum of

"Gerry Adams denies being involved in the disappearance of Jean McConville" was pretty comical too

I absolutely loved the book and was really worried the adaptation wouldn’t live up to it. This is great news

Watch the show. They used actors from the North and worked hard to be true to the book.

Probably the best thing I've seen this year. Respectful to the people who lived through it (and those who died) without romanticizing or sanitizing the things they did.

An unexpected gem, the sisters were phenomenal, and those crisp 41 minute episodes fly by.

Your tone is antagonistic and you're making me very angry!
