Line of Events
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.
Quite the devastating story
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.. Probably the most heart wrenching piece of "entertainment" I've ever seen was episode #6.
Hope to see them get more mainstream roles going forward
The younger Price sisters are amazingly well portrayed by 2 actresses I had never heard of (Lola Petticrew and Hazel Doupe). Anthony Boyle also jumped off the screen in every scene he was in.
Although, I wouldn't suggest watching it in 1 day like I did as you'll lose some sleep
The show couldn't have been cast any better.I was only vaguely familiar with this story and haven't read the book, so I can't speak to the shows accuracy, but I can say the dialogue is well written and the directors did a fantastic job.Would absolutely recommend watching this show. There's a whole lot to love about Hulu's streaming offerings this month — get excited for brand-new series premieres and film favorites to watch at home.
