Peaky Blinders is a load of codswallop

That is all

After finishing the sublime Weeds on Netflix I finally succumbed to trying PB.

Total crap. What are all you folk who love it thinking ? Dodgy sets, dodgy score, dodgy accents, dodgy acting.

I’m with you OP. It was crap. I don’t understand why people rave about it.

Cillian Murphy is pretty, I'll give you that. A little chisel jawed, blue eyed pocket rocket I am sure. I'd like to put him on my mantelpiece.

I can’t get on with it either. Really enjoyed The Sinner on Netflix

Very graphic violence and very beautiful people. It was always going to be a hit.

What? It’s so good And Thomas Shelby well , he gives me the most tremendous Fanny gallops the likes of which I’ve not felt in a long time

The score is awesome. Although have always loved a bit of Nick Cave.

I watched quite a lot of it behind a cushion but I loved it. And not just because of Cillian Murphy's beautiful cheekbones

I watch it. I laugh at the, quite frequent now, slow motion segments to music where they're all supposed be terribly cool and intimidating. I don't think this was intended to be humourous Grin

Then there's Cillian Murphy of course.

I couldn't get in to it either. I only gave it one episode but I didn't care enough to watch the second.

So, weeds was good? That's quite old isn't it/? That doesn't put me off. Just wondering if I'm thinking of the same thing.

Good riddance to Grace. Don't think she ever cracked a smile.

The accents are really dodgy in the first couple of episodes (particularly Polly who can't make up her mind whether she's from Birmingham or Liverpool) but honestly, stick with it. Its fab, particularly when Tom Hardy comes in.

I’ve boycotted it since discovering that one of the writers is a predatory cunt.

What about the gorgeous twenties frocks? I loved it just for the costumes.

Agree with you OP. I can't bear the woman who plays Poll (?) either.

I feel like it's something I should like but I hate it. And the accents are dreadful.

My name is iklboo and Cillian Murphy just doesn't do anything for me.

Some of the Birmingham accents are awful as well (Spoken by an actual brummie) and we struggled with series 3. So grace goes does she? Maybe will try again with series 4.....!!
