First off, I did not watch this series for a while because I assumed it was not going to be enough action for my liking. Normally, I need an action drama to keep my attention and avoid series which develop slowly. However, this series was extremely surprising considering my lack of background knowledge about its plot.

Holy shite, let's go ahead and acknowledge the fact that this is by far the best soundtrack for any movie/tv series/documentary/or whatever.

Now, on to the rest. I was extremely surprised by the dialogue in this series. Granted, by the main photo, name, and lack of info I assumed it to be a slow moving drama filled with dialogue which is not my type of scene (buh dum chhhh). But, this series was nuts. From beginning to end the action and dialogue were constantly changing and always had a point. The characters each had their purpose and very little interaction was wasted. There was not much wasted screen time and no "filler" episodes in my mind.

Does anyone know when the next season is out?

I loved this series s much. I didn't really know what to expect but man was it great!

Shooting one guy to end what was sure to be a bloodbath of epic proportions seemed pretty unlikely

But still a great show

I'm not even sure if they have began shooting it yet. If so I think they have just started.

This is a show where it could actually use more episodes per season. Instead of 6 bump it to 8 or 10. Great show and I look forward to binge watching more of it.

I have tried three times and I can't get past Episode 1. It doesn't hook me. I must be slow.

Yep. The non period music bothered me in the very beginning, but it is used so well, that I quickly grew to love it.

Peaky Blinders is a top 5 series for me. I loved it.

It is a little slow at first, but stick with it. The plot is nothing special but it's well cast and well acted, one of those shows that makes you root for the bad guy.

Okay. I'm going to try again because we're currently scourging Netflix and HBO Go for things to watch.

Admittedly, I'm a little retarded.

So you didn't even make it through the first episode? I mean, come on man. That is pathetic.

You have to give any show a few episodes.

Anyway, when is Season 3 supposed to be out?

I tried watching Shawshank Redemption, but the whole first hour was just Tim Robbins moping around and gay prison rape. I had to turn it off.

I think they are currently filming so hopefully S3 will launch this winter/early spring 2016. Don't quote me on this, though.
