Danny Franks November 21 Share November 21 I feel a bit weird about this episode, because I know that Michael McConville, and perhaps some of his siblings, didn't want this story put on the screen. Not because they disagreed with the details, but because it just tears that old wound open again. Seeing them as kids was one thing, but seeing the adult McConvilles being played by actors made me a little uncomfortable. It's conflicting, because I think this is a story that needs to be told, and it can't be told without them, so where do you draw the line with unwilling participants? The feelings of betrayal amongst the old IRA guys when Adams' ceasefire deal was announced were understandable. I really felt it when Dolours said she felt like it was all for nothing, thinking about what she and Marian went through, and the things they did. Dolours seems to be one of the few who made a life for herself, who was able to move on, but she's trapped by the memories and the guilt. Things seem simpler for Marian and Brendan. Less guilt, more anger. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150567-s01e08-i-lay-waiting/#findComment-8514326
