I’m really not exaggerating about the gut punches. And yet, it is one of the most compelling and cathartic limited series 2020 has seen. Through and through, this show is six hours of repeated gut punches. The way in which it explores these topics is through the most acute and unsettling lens of suffering. As Dominick navigates how to save his brother, he must confront the reality of their tumultuous relationship and come to terms with the ghosts of his past.Īt its core, the thematically-driven “I Know This Much is True,” based on Wally Lamb’s novel of the same name, is about family, sacrifice and forgiveness. When schizophrenic Thomas Birdsey ( Mark Ruffalo) has an incident at a library that results in him being placed in an asylum, his twin brother Dominick (also Ruffalo) makes every attempt to get him out.
