Are You Enjoying Peaky Blinders?

I'm worried about Arthur.

Absolutely compelling series. Adrien Brody plays Luca and he is a fantastic actor - he was in The Piano and Grand Budapest Hotel.
I suspect that some real life gangsters hammed themselves up to give themselves a big presence so the overacting is deliberately real.

Trying to work out what Polly has done to her eyebrows.

Yeah, they seem to be well plucked.

I enjoyed watching previous series. Unsure why but just didn't feel in the mood the watch a bunch of violent psychopaths this time around. Maybe next series.

[murraymints]

[Old_Geezer]

a bunch of violent psychopaths

[murraymints]

nowt like a bit of reality !! lol

[Old_Geezer]

You can read about the historic lot in Wikipedia. It's about violent groups struggling for dominance and control. And the main character's experiences. Check the clips.

For my money this is easily, by some considerable distance, the best think that has been on TV for years. The last TV series I enjoyed as much as this was the first two series of Auf Wiedersehn.

It is just superb.

Tom Hardy was only on-screen for 10 minutes last week and completely stole the show. Tommy to Alfie "morning Alfie" Alfie to Tommy "yer it is so f$%^&ng where is everybody" Brilliant.

And I love the way its a period piece but with contemporary music.

The first 10 minutes of the opening episode of this series left me breathless.

Just superb superb television.

In my opinion PB justifies the costs of the licence fee alone.

I've got the previous 2 episodes to catch up on - it's a darned good watch

[tonyav]

Well how about that then, interesting ending wasn't it.

[Zacs-Master]

Yep, very good.

And OG, war breeds psychopaths. It’s what the whole series is about.

adrien brody is usually a great actor so i'm puzzled as to why he resorted to doing a robert de niro impression in peaky blinders
