Peaky Blinders

This is a truly excellent show !
I am a huge fan. Seen the full first two episodes and looking forward to tonight's visit to Cheltenham, and the confrontation with the infamous illegal gambling king Billy Kimber.

Yes, it is a bit violent, but that was the trademark of the Birmingham Peaky Blinders back in the 1920's

The show is very period; must have cost a fortune in production costs. All about the criminals and illegal bookies in Brum. Cillian Murphy is very good in the lead role as Shelby.

Strongly recommended.
 
As a Brummie I'm loving it. Fond memories or going 'up the cut' and taking bet money to the illegal bookies [not quite in 1919 though]. Cillian Murphy was on Radio6 at the weekend talking music.
 
Somewhat disappointed in the final episode last night. Thought it was a bit of a damp squib.
Way too much romance and lurve.

I watched this last night, not having seen the rest, and have to say I can't see what all the fuss was about based on this one episode.
 
Cannot blame ya, there!
The run of episodes to last night were reasonable -- the Communist movement, IRA gunrunners, illegal bookmakers etc etc.
Then last night .................. an ending more in substance and style of your typical Soap episode.
Very poor, really. Disappointing.
 
Well the last episode did wrong foot me so I'm pleased about that,and I still think the music and the atmosphere was superb.
