by

Unspeakable, the “must-watch” true-life drama, has landed a new streaming home in the UK.

In the 80s, this series unfolds, focusing on the emergence of HIV and hepatitis C within Canada. It poignantly narrates the heartbreaking saga of two distinct families, both tragically affected when their sons contracted these diseases due to contaminated blood supplies.

The controversy turned into one of the nation’s most infamous healthcare catastrophes, leading to a federal investigation. The affected individuals received billions of dollars as part of the subsequent court case.

The production titled “Unspeakable” derives inspiration from the books “Bad Blood” written by Vic Parsons and “The Gift” penned by André Picard. This moving work was crafted by Robert C Cooper, a survivor of the scandal who contracted hepatitis C due to contaminated blood.

In the UK, starting from 2019, this limited series was initially broadcasted, and as of now, you can stream all its eight episodes for free, with advertisements, on ITVX.

Both the Sanders and the Landrys find themselves alarmed as a disease known as AIDS poses a significant threat to the nation’s blood donations. Tragically, both families have sons who suffer from hemophilia.

This production showcases a variety of well-known actors, such as Sarah Wayne Callies from “The Walking Dead,” Shawn Doyle known for his work in “Big Love,” Camille Sullivan who shines in “Shelby Oaks,” Michael Shanks, famed from “Stargate SG-1,” and Levi Meaden, star of “Pacific Rim: Uprising.

Following its debut, the movie “Unspeakable” has been met with tremendous acclaim on IMDb. Viewers have notably praised its “remarkably engaging” narrative about a critical subject matter that resonates deeply with them.

A captivating, thought-provoking series, exceptionally well-crafted in both writing and visuals, with powerful acting. This enthralling account of Canadian/global history, rooted in real events, is a definite must-see. I can’t stress enough how much you should watch it.

Another person remarked, “This program deeply resonated with my emotions. Its compelling narrative has touched the hearts of countless individuals, yet unfortunately, it remains undiscovered by too many.

A third individual expressed, “The issue of contaminated blood holds great significance, yet there’s still a lack of understanding surrounding it. This collection aims to illuminate this crucial matter. I genuinely wish that many more individuals tune in and gain knowledge about it.

Unspeakable is available to stream on ITVX.
