‘Say Nothing’ Episodes 1-4: Bank-Robbing Nuns, Fatal Affairs, and The Big Lad

Joanna Robinson and Rob Mahoney stare at a spot on the wall to recap the first four episodes of the FX-produced Hulu limited series, ‘Say Nothing.’ They discuss it as an adaptation of the critically acclaimed 2018book of the same name, give some background context on the Troubles conflict that the story takes place in, and whether each episode feels distinct despite it being a binge drop (6:34). Along the way, they walk through a character-by-character breakdown of the period drama’s main players (29:02).Later, they highlight how the visual flourishes of the show enhance the moment-to-moment intensity and look ahead at what’s to come in the final five episodes (60:20).
