Why did it take me so long to discover Peaky Blinders?

Great series...its a shame they're only 6 episodes a piece

With a Red Right Hand !

i watched episode 1 after a 10hr work day and it just didnt do it for me, though I wasnt paying total attention because i was tired as frick. i need to give it another chance. Knight is a top notch writer and I know better than to doubt him. I will watch it again this weekend and press on.

i do remember the music bugging me, though

i was so used to the period music from my beloved Boardwalk, so it kind of threw me off. ill get used to it. you and several other valued M/TV opinions liked it, so ill def watch the first season, at least. ill report back upon rewatch of Ep 1

Give it another chance. The pacing is a bit slow, so I can see how it wouldn't grab you, but the characters are really good. They end up making you want a bunch of murderous street thugs to win the day.

It bugged me at first too having modern music with a period show, but once you get used to it you see that the music compliments the show pretty well.

Aunt Polly and Tommy Shelby are both really great characters acted by brilliant acters. Heart of the show.

No doubt. He's the muscle. I actually think John is really underrated. He is criticized for not being the best leader, but he is a good combination of Thomas and Arthur in my opinion.

Here's a summary of the show

Gun to lead characters head - montage - new setting - gun to lead characters head - montage

rinse and repeat
