Peaky Blinders

Although I am a fan I am concerned its going to follow the same familiar formula of "Peakies going good, bad guys enter the scene, Tommy gets the shit beaten of him, Peakies get revenge and win the day"
 
eh I quite liked the White Russian exiles stuff but then thats because I found cillians squeeze easy on the eye
 
I find Cillian himself easy on the eye. But strangely, only when he's Tommy Shelby. I don't find him particularly attractive when he's himself with his floppy indiegirl hair

How about the perm?

I'm 3 episodes in. I feel like I should be enjoying it, but it's not engaging me at all. Is it like the wire where you need to give it a significant amount of time?
 
Series one?

No, if it hasn’t grabbed you after 3 episodes, it isn’t for you.

Yeah series 1. Thanks! Maybe I need to come back to it. It's got loads of themes I like but it's just not grabbing me.

Some of the shooting style annoys me too. I'm a bit jaded of really atmospheric TV at the moment.

I thought it was a bit rubbish and only watched it as I was forced to. Quite liked some of the frocks and hats. There's no comparison to The Wire which does have a genuine stab at something bigger, PB is slapstick.

Yep. It was probably a bad example anyway as I like things such as The Last Kingdom so it doesn't always have to be epically deep or meaningful.

Thanks everyone I will let them carry on with it and we can watch something else together. Usually if I can't concentrate fully on something I might still care what happens, but here I don't. I'm mildly interested in the revolutionary stuff.

It never grabbed me either and I really tried. I'd end up watching it on BBC really late when it was on repeat and there was nothing else to do and still......nah.
