Title: Peaky Blinders
Post by: bob48 on November 08, 2014, 02:57:59 PM
I hope that you get this across the pond at some point. Its one of the best BBC period drama's ever!

We've just watched the final episode of series 2 - absolutely first class stuff by the Beeb.

Nope, I'm not shooting the tank clicking the link, I'm not shooting the tank clicking the link.  I don't need the temptation right now!

 :)^ The atmosphere they have created, and the attention to period detail is amazing. Cillian Murphy play an incredible part, and Sam Neill is excellent (although an Irish friend of mine tell me his accent aint so good).

One of the best things I've seen on TV for a very long time - and its set in my home town!

Two questions:

1)  What century is it set in?

2)  How old were you then?

1) 20th Century

2) A mere twinkle in the milkman's eye.

Is it still on Netflix? I watched maybe 30 minutes of the first episode and liked it, but got distracted and never went back.

Waiting for series 3 which is being filmed now, although it won't be televised until next year.

Absolutely brilliant show, and with some factual basis. Its also set in my home town of Birmingham.
