The Hollywood Reporter has listed “Unspeakable” as one of “15 International Series to Binge-Watch Holidays”.

Per the online news site:

“Canadian writer/producer Robert C. Cooper is best known for his work on the Stargate TV franchise, but this mini-series is deeply rooted in the real world. An exploration of the true-life tragedy that unfolded in the 1980s when Canada’s blood supply was tainted by H.I.V. and hepatitis C (Cooper himself contracted hepatitis from hemophilia treatments during that time), Unspeakable is a straight-forward docu-drama with a core of bubbling rage at a system that allowed such an unnecessary and avoidable catastrophe to occur. Its tight focus on five affected families might strike some as overly sentimental, but the approach keeps the viewer engaged, and enraged, as the scandal unfolds.”

You can stream the mini-series on Sundance Now and Amazon.
