    ‘Say Nothing’ Series Finale: The Squeeze of a Trigger

    Jo and Rob reveal the truth to recap the last five episodes of ‘Say Nothing.’ They discuss how the back half of the season landed for them, the adaptive choice to depart from Frank Kitson as the show’s main antagonist, and how the series depicts Gerry Adams distancing himself from the IRA movement (2:38). Along the way, they talk about both the character of Dolours and her real-life counterpart and Marian’s fate at the end of the story (31:40). Later, they unpack how the show handles the mysterious disappearance of Jean McConville (38:26).Email us! nunbankheist@gmail.com Hosts: Joanna Robinson and Rob Mahoney Producer: Kai Grady Additional Production Support: Justin Sayles Learn more about your ad choices.

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

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).
