I'm sure we shall all miss grace singing anachronistic ira ballads

after moaning about the politics being dropped from the prog, pol and the cities women go on strike. One out all out etc

but has the overall programme been sexed up a bit too much?

theres a shot (or shots) that the showmakers love and I totally love it in all its variants. tommy and/or the bys striding over cobbles towards the camera as nick cave sings one of his murder paeans. With the long coats and the faces shadowed by cap brim and dusk.

theres a photo it reminds me of so much but I can't find it Pickman's model you've posted it a few times. Shot of olden day ira walking down an alley with guns and long coats. I've googled but all I can find is modern ones with camo gear and balaclavas

yeh that's not really what i mean. it's all the coke and improbable sex with gorgeous looking women. that thing with the Russian chick running about naked all over the house was just ridiculous. not that Tommy wouldn't be having rampant sex in his mansion with a gorgeous Russian woman if he wanted to, but it's all - especially his stuff - a bit more brash. that character used to be a lot more understated...
 
true that, although arthurs showing more depth than cokehead PTSD shouter these days which is nice.

re:gypsey roots thing, I have been thrown by it. The whole checking to see if the stone was cursed with a wise woman. I didn't have T shelby down as one who believes in superstitions and he didn't take the word of the woman very seriously, so it seemed to me. But he still did it, he still consulted her. Odd things, people
 
It is a great show and sure the acting is top drawer but I think its the attention to every minor detail in the filming that gives it so much extra , slo mo shots and almost over bright/dark colours in certain scenes and of course the music . There are a lot of references to Boston Docks in recent shows do you think there will be a tranfer across the Atlantic at some stage , the yanks will probably lapping it up .

yes, it's going to be like the 3d series of sons of anarchy, where the sons went to ireland: only in peaky blinders tommy's son's kidnapped and whisked across the atlantic and the peaky blinders go over en masse to wreak bloody revenge
 
Best episode so far from any of the series. Their shock and differing reactions to the decadence of the Russian aristocracy, Tom Hardy stealing the show, every strand done well. Probably helped to be at the end of a decadent weekend whilst watching it, mind.
 
Absolute bobbins but at least NOT BORING. And anything with Tom Hardy going:
"you lot hunted my mum fru the snow. wiv dogz"
has got to be worth at least some of your time and attention.

and I had thought the creative anachronism thing would be clearest in the soundtrack, but a vigilante campaign against paedophile priests ... in the 1920s? holy time machine!
 
i actually thought the latest episode was the worst yet! truly awful. may have to watch it again to check it was actually that awful because i'm struggling to believe it. & the whole "fucking a ghost" thing really wound me up. Tom Hardy was great, obvs, and i can forgive Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby anything, but the rest of it was a croc...

I thought that was the point. Uneducated and unworldly working class hooligans meet hundreds of years of extravagant aristrocratic wealth and decadent exotic boredom. The younger lad on the door represented one end of their reaction - total incomprehension and then freaked out and unable to handle it. Shelby was at the other end, accepting and joining in, everyone else somewhere inbetween.

I thought the auto asphyxiation was done quite well. It fitted well with the Russians' attempts to try anything to alleviate the boredom of a lifestyle with no boundaries of money or rules, everything taken to the extreme until there's nothing new left to experience. After the reviolution they didn't have Russia to rule, no purpose to their lives whatsoever. No idea about the ghost business, but it's supposed to give such a powerful orgasm it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to imagine some culture's had built myths around it.

It helped that I watched it at the end of a pretty debauched wekend, probably made more sense than watching it sober.

Nah still don't buy it :D
 
Flippin' heck. I kept expecting Tommy to die, never quite what did happen.

Will the next series skip time or start from right after this. I mean they're going to fucking despise him forever now, no?
 
a return to form with the final episode. and the Russian girl not quite as flighty and irritating as I'd written her off as being - now she definitely had a plan :)
