Peaky Blinders is a load of codswallop

[AnyFucker]

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.

Stick with it. I only appreciated how good season 1 was, when I was quite far into season 2.

[blueskypink]

Fakemews - honestly, Peaky Blinders is brilliant!

[FakeMews]

DS has just binge watched PB and keeps telling me to watch it. I don't think so after reading this.
Now Weeds? Just googled and added to my list

[Redpony1]

Cillian Murphy is rather pretty.

However, i watched the first 2 episodes to give it a go but it's crap! I can't bare the sheer amount of smoking going on, yuck.

[LoisWilkersonsLastNerve]

I thought it was 'silly yin'. My Irish relatives would be mortified with me.

[Luckycatsplat]

Ah. Yes, I'd been pronouncing Silly-un. :)

[inashizzle]

Kill ee an

I know because I had random little googles after becoming a little obsessed. I find him beautiful.

[AnyFucker]

Otherwise it would be silly'un

@Luckycatsplat
Its pronounced Killian.

[Itmakesthereaderreadon]

I keep hearing all the hype but never got round to it. We watched Boardwalk Empire all the way through. No one very pretty in it, but the plot was good, it was interesting to see the historical links and Steve Buscemi and Stephen Graham shone. Often wonder if pb is as good.

[AuntTrotwood]

The first series was good but the latest ones are DIRE. That man who plays the Italian gangster is a cross between a Marlon Brando impersonator and Papa Lazarou from League of Gentlemen. And Tom Hardy is much better is Taboo- that is a fact!

Grace was awful. He should have gone with the horsey woman.

It's become a parody of itself.

[Luckycatsplat]

I don't get the Tom Hardy love, especially in this.

I found Taboo pretty awful and couldn't watch it but I could possibly see why people liked Tom Hardy in it, in a moody rougue type way. Maybe if I'd watched more I'd have got the Tom Hardy love. Not in PB though.

[Luckycatsplat]

Mr Murphy is quite odd looking but still very, very watchable.

The accents are awful! Haha!

Why did he end up with Grace? That horse woman was much, much better and interesting. She'd have given as good as she got. I loved the scene where he poured her a gin.

The last series was awful but I did enjoy the others. Admittedly party due to Cillian.

How do you pronounce Cillian by the way?

[TheButterflyOfTheStorms]

According to t'internet Cillan and Tom are both 5'9". Men always add at least 2 inches.

I find his looks very odd and actually rather creepy. Some of us like that. Ray Liotta, Aidan Quinn, Javier Bardem...

[MickHucknallspinkpancakes]

I also watched one episode and parked it but strangely coincidental that I started watching it again last night.

I think Sam Neill is pretty good, and love the music score. I'm quite enjoying it actually.

Just finished Grace & Frankie season 4, love that one it's a bloody hoot. And I want that house...

[fussychica]

I tried PB when it first came out. Watched one episode and hated it so never watched another. Everyone else raves about it so I thought I might give it another go but having seen this thread I don't think I'll bother.
I also disagree with most of you re Cillian Murphy. I find his looks very odd and actually rather creepy.

[blueskypink]

According to t'internet Cillan and Tom are both 5'9".

Having watched a bit of the first episode twice I gave it another go when in bed with flu recently and binged series 1-3 in 2 days. I LOVE it. Kept trying to persuade DH to watch it but he wasn't keen. Couldn't find anything to watch this evening so I persuaded him and 2 dcs (over 18) to give the first episode a go. They're still watching and must be on episode 4 by now.

[DuckOffAutocorrectYouShiv]

Well, I’ve not measured him personally but my extensive research (google) suggests it is so.

[AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth]

No, it's pish

[ThomasShelbysBunnet]

Ooh he's 5'7"? At 5'5" and a half I'm the perfect size for oor Cillian

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

DH watched this over Christmas (binge watched the whole lot over 2 days )

I was in the room but not watching though i could hear it. I kept saying to him "Does it actually have a story"?
It was all You're a bastard then they were shagging over a desk.
Boring as all get out (but yes, nice horses)

[AnyFucker]

Noooo

[AnyFucker]

Yay

[SueGeneris]

The accents were so awful I didn't watch it beyond being in the room when DH did. I also really hate soap style acting.

But the accents! My ears!!
