McGuinnes, imo, was the hero for the Irish.
The IRA were outsmarted throughout The Troubles by the British, playing into the British narrative, often through unforced errors and poor messaging.
I finished the series at 1:00 AM.
Tough to watch at times. The emotional damage suffered by the McConville kids is heart wrenching.
Delours’ and Brendan’s journeys in combating their codes of silence to find some peace was compelling, and the story of the series.
The British brought it upon themselves. Their cruelty has always been apparent.
