Not sure what reviews you have been reading but it certainly not sympathetic to the main characters. It allows them to tell their stories without judgement or comments. They tend to condemn themselves by their own words. As in all conflicts there are issues on both sides. Today with the release of the report into Stakeknife's activities it shows what both sides were up to.Did a 5 year tour over there in the late 80's with the R.A.F so was looking forward to watching this but after reading the reviews, it looks like its sympathetic to the main characters so will give it a miss.
Watched it and having twins in my family made it even more absorbing.
Bonkers !!!

I'm on episode 3 and it is an interesting watch with superb performances from the two sisters. The troubles as seen through an IRA sympathetic lens so far.Fantastic and so enlightening
I'm a Twin not killed any family yet, but.....Isn't it something like 67% of all twins murder their families or something crazy like that? Or is that only the ginger ones?
Just finished watching this how is Gerry Adam’s not in prison .It doesn't reflect the IRA in a good light in my opinion. It sympathies the IRA volunteers in regards how they were groomed and peer pressure from families. But shows how badly they were treated by Gerry Adams and lied too.
33% of twins would agree.I'm a Twin not killed any family yet, but.....
If you watch ‘The Disappeared’ you will see what a lying, conniving bastard he is. It is on Prime. Another good insight into this story is ‘ I, Dolours’ also on prime. He’s bang to rights.Just finished watching this how is Gerry Adam’s not in prison .
How is he not deadJust finished watching this how is Gerry Adam’s not in prison .
This is proper news. Absolutely fucking proper news. Christmas come early.
Moneywow!! loved this never understood why it got cancelled
He seems to be viewed as a long time British agent by some RepublicansJust finished watching this how is Gerry Adam’s not in prison .
Not sure. I did read one take that they ran out of cash for it. Hard to believe with Netflix, but maybe they meant relative to its viewing figures. There was obviously lots of period detail which will have cost, though many scenes were indoors…wow!! loved this never understood why it got cancelled
Maybe watch it and just see for yourself and ignore reviews. Its a very delicate, complicated, damaging, difficult period of history of peoples lives and it reflects all that. Just watch it, it is compelling viewing imhoDid a 5 year tour over there in the late 80's with the R.A.F so was looking forward to watching this but after reading the reviews, it looks like its sympathetic to the main characters so will give it a miss.
That makes sense .He seems to be viewed as a long time British agent by some Republicans
