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.

iklboo, i’m immune to Cillian Murphy’s charms too (too short and effeminate looking for me) but I do enjoy Peakys. Sorry.

DuckOffAutocorrectYouShiv · 10/02/2018 18:14

The score is ace too.

Weeds is brilliant

My DH wandered in and said "is this set in Newcastle?"

The accents are appalling and I truly could not sit through the monologues by Sam Whatsit in that crappy Norn Irish "lilt"

I've only seen the first episode.

The accents were truly appalling- brum, cockney and scouse all in the one sentence

It put me right off.

Just started watching weeds love it
Peaky blinders i great. Come on tom hardy xxx

Cillian Murphy is The only reason to watch it. I’ve watched it all, I stuck through the shit plot, mediocre acting, loss of storyline, I am a true Cillian fan:
The Sinner is a good series, there’s no Cillian, but there’s a plot line.

Tom Hardy in Taboo is all you need, folks

TheButterflyOfTheStorms · 10/02/2018 18:24

Cillian Murphy and the score. Both awesome. Everything else? Meh.

And Tom Hardy is short, unappealing and overacts.

trixymalixy · 10/02/2018 18:28

Am I the only person who thinks Cillian Murphy is really odd looking?

expatinscotland · 10/02/2018 18:29

You are not wrong. Cillian looks like a 12-year-old girl, too.

He seems kinda tiny

I watched it for all the pretty horses. And I loved Johnny Dogs, he was a great character.

CourtneyLoveIsMySpiritAnimal · 10/02/2018 18:35

Cillian Murphy is tiny, as is Tiny Tom Hardy (also kind of gross).

DuckOffAutocorrectYouShiv · 10/02/2018 18:37

Cillian is 5’7” apparently. The same height as me. He is very petite too. I’m not large by any stretch but I think he’d be quite delicate looking in RL.

As a 5ft 10'er he ain't never gonna float my boat.

Don’t get me wrong, DH isn’t a 7ft muscle Mary but y’know.

expatinscotland · 10/02/2018 18:41

Tom Hardy just mings. Ewww.

DuckOffAutocorrectYouShiv · 10/02/2018 18:42

He’s a bit rough but does have on screen charisma. I’ll give him that.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 10/02/2018 18:42

I forgave the dodgy accents and scripts when Tom Hardy popped up. I found there was no likeable characters in itConfused

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 10/02/2018 18:43

*Were no likeable characters

LesDennishair · 10/02/2018 18:51

Are you sure he's 5'7"? I hadn't noticed Cillian Murphy was so short...have seen him in a few things I'm shorter so I don't mean anything by it, just hadn't noticed

Tom Hardy always looks like he needs a good wash

Charismam · 10/02/2018 18:52

Cillian and Eddie redmayne are so handsome they are beautiful and both have played women.

Charismam · 10/02/2018 18:53

Not sure what my point is.

AlwaysPondering · 10/02/2018 18:54

Agree OP! Far too tiny for me!
