Peaky Blinders

Well no bloodbath then, though almost. But a good ending. I think there will be a second series - hopefully.

I thought she might have shot them because they might have recognised her but I don't that's what they were getting at.

That fact that Shelby isn't the remote bit suspicious about her is ruining it for me. New Irish copper turns up; new Irish barmaid turns up, then she turns out to be a prod, then she has a phone line installed when they have no one to call.

I liked Peaky Blinders but you've got a point there. If it was Top Boy, Dushane and Sully would've been wise to her weeks back.
 
Dire. Last week's episode was better.

The Irish Copper has blatantly shot himself and Tommy will go to expand his empire in New York in the nect series.

I won't be watching.
 
I bailed halfway through ep 3 and can't decide from this thread if I was right or not. Still not too tempted to give it another go.
 
I thought it ended well, could have been done by folding this ep into last weeks as a feature length, losing some bits from both to tighten the lot.

disappointing lack of bloodbath though
 
Quite liked this. Not the best recent show of the genre but likeable. A nice break from the usual twee period dramas.
 
Just caught up, really enjoyed it. Nice to see something a little less London-centric too. The holes in the plot were a bit rubbish and the end was very predictable, but over all there was enough there for another series.
 
Oh yes, what was Benjamin Zephaniah supposed to be?

From what I could gather he was a black Brummie born christian preacher who wore an entire life's worth of dreadlocks and (possibly) fought with the others in France and didn't mind putting his role as preacher aside to take part in a gangland gun war.

Rastafari didn't really develop in Jamaica until the 1930's. He couldn't have been a dreadlock rasta since boyhood by the 1920's, and wouldn't have been a christian preacher either.

None of that made sense.

Dreads were around before rastafari though

Maasai warriors have had dreads for hundreds of years, as have some Hindus and even Aztecs, but there wasn't really any suggestion that he was African but brought up in Birmingham as a Christian. Didn't make much sense to me.
 
Still don't really know what the relationship is between Polly & the brothers... Is she an aunt?
 
meh... at least that annoying warbling irish women isn't in it. Trouble i have with this series - apart from the dodgey accents - is that for all its great look and period detail, we are being asked to side with a bunch of cunts. Especailly Cillian murphy - his character is a violent exploitative arsehole, but hes pretty and wears a well tailored suit - so that seems to give him a free pass. I'd much rather the main story be about the communists, the Gypsies, the irish republicans or ordinary people caught up with the gangsters.
 
they've killed off commie husband so there'll be no more of that. I forsee another gang war along with sam niels coppers in the mix

And you're right that they are bastards but then, sopraos, the wire, sons of anarchy, mad me, game of thrones. Bastards are big right now.
