Unspeakable

I'm 4 episodes in. The message here is a complex and powerful one. I relate because I grew up in the 80's and I remember the stigma and fear that came along with this outbreak. I'm loving the actors...maybe I've watched a bit too much Scifi in my time but once I recognized Michael Shanks behind that beard I was all in. Then when Aaron Douglas showed up after a few episodes it got even better. Michael/Aaron....you guys rock!

If you ask me what mini Series is a must see show I would Gladly to say is Unspeakable. There is so much information you never knew about at the time when Aids came out. You only learned one side and not the whole truth. Unspeakable is the story about Tainted Blood in Canada .The Acting in this show was Out of this world and everything was So Accurately. It was a Great Learning Experience. So you must see this Show. It has a Very big cast .

There is a famous saying "Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it." For those who don't know or don't remember where the most damaging health crisis in the history of Canada comes from, this is a must see series. How many mistakes were made and how many people could have done something but did not. Worst thing? Reality was far more disturbing. A family member was part of a team dealing with people infected by blood products and transfusions and has told me the series just glances over some of the most egregious aspects of this crisis. Watch it and wonder... why?

Just a couple episodes in, this is a surprisingly compelling document of the underreported and misunderstood story of the tainted blood crisis. Well acted and directed, Unspeakable is basically a period piece, accurately evoking early 80s Canada.

An eye-opening, heart-opening series, beautifully written, shot and acted. This compelling story of Canadian/world history, based on true events, is a must-watch. I couldn't recommend it more highly.
