As a gamer with a deep respect for historical accuracy and sensitivity towards real-life tragedies, I find myself deeply troubled by FX’s Say Nothing. While I appreciate the creative liberty taken in adapting Patrick Radden Keefe’s book, I can’t help but feel that the portrayal of Jean McConville’s execution crosses a line.
The son of Jean McConville has voiced criticism towards FX’s miniseries “Say Nothing,” claiming that its portrayal of his mother’s death was both painful and inaccurate.
Viewers have heavily criticized the “extremely eccentric” tone of the show Nothing since its trailer was released, despite it being popular among both viewers and critics, as indicated by its positive Rotten Tomatoes rating. Even some family members of one of the show’s creators, Jean’s son Michael McConville, have voiced their criticisms of the series.
What did the son of the victim say about FX’s Say Nothing?
According to The Hollywood Reporter’s report, Michael expressed disapproval that his mother’s death was used as a subject for entertainment, stating it was inappropriate for both him and his family. He particularly criticized the FX series for its insensitive portrayal of their mother’s heartbreaking passing.
Michael expressed his feelings by saying, “I believe many folks don’t grasp the pain this causes. Describing the execution and covert burial of my mom as terrible is an understatement. Unless someone has experienced it themselves, they can’t fathom how truly heartless it feels.
According to THR, Michael has not watched the series and has no plans to do so.
Developed by Josh Zetumer, the television series “Say Nothing” is inspired by Patrick Radden Keefe’s highly praised non-fiction book titled “Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland.” Here’s a summary of its plot:
Say Nothing offers an engrossing account of murder and remembrance set against Northern Ireland’s tumultuous period known as The Troubles. Over the course of forty years, this narrative begins with the chilling event of Jean McConville, a mother of ten, being mysteriously taken from her home in 1972, an incident that left her fate uncertain and unspoken.
In a fresh take, Lola Petticrew portrays Dolours Price, with Hazel Doupe stepping into the role of Marian Price, while Anthony Boyle plays Brendan Hughes, and Josh Finan takes on Gerry Adams. You can now catch it streaming on Hulu.
