The read
The series ran 1 season across 4 episodes and has finished, so there is no cliffhanger risk.
Synopsis
Based on the hepatitis C scandal that rocked Ireland in the mid-1990s. Two very different women discover that they have been infected with hepatitis C by a contaminated anti-D injection years before. Despite the devastating effects on the women and their families, they unite in a campaign group to take on the health authorities and expose the evasions and lies of the political and bureaucratic establishment.
