Scenario

Spanning four tumultuous decades during The Troubles in Northern Ireland

The real Dolours Price was married for two decades (1983-2003) to the Irish actor Stephen Rea.

During that period, Rea appeared in the movie for which he is arguably 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..

It's very raw, and at times very painful to watch

It's not often that I write a review but this series it's extremely well done and moving.It narrates real events that took place in northern Ireland between 1971 to recent years, including the bombing of the old Bailey in London.The fact that it's not fiction it makes it a lot more interesting to watch.

Rightly or wrongly, It was incredible for me to see the conviction of some of the IRA members, especially the two sisters, and what they were prepared to do for the cause of a unified IrelandI think everyone should be watching it to remember and not forget this tragic contemporary history
