Is there really no topic on this great show!?

Posted by: titty Oct 31 2014, 01:27 PM

This is the best show on TV.
I'm amazed at how good series 2 is.

This came to Netflix. Thinking of watching it as I'm coming to the end of my current BINGE WATCH SHOW OF CHOICE.

Yes/no/anyone have an opinion?

Series 4 will be coming to BBC Two in November!



I do hope it's better than Series 3 which I could never really get into, I don't think the time jump helped! Hope we get more Tom Hardy tooo

Posted by: Steve201 Oct 23 2017, 06:05 PM

I've a feeling we will jump to the late 20s in this series!!

Just started watching Wednesday's ep and I'm only five minutes in where I was reminded that I FORGOT TO NOMINATE THIS FOR BEST TV THEMES. mad.gif

An epic five minutes tho.

Wow, such a brilliant opener! Already so much better than Season 3!

The chef scene in particular was so good, a lot more excited for where the series is going than I was before watching which is a great sign.

I found the first series quite good, the second series excellent and then the third series so far is a bit meh. I am halfway through and I can just not really get in to the communist storyline with the dodgy Russian accents. I think this series probably suffers from the lack of having a good villain too.

I have heard excellent things about series four though.. looking forward to checking out the hype.

Oh yes, Series 3 is so bad in comparison to the rest. They really stepped it back up again for Series 4, the opener is particularly amazing but it’s solid throughout and by FAR better than the dull Series 3. I feel they refound what makes the show great againx

Posted by: ChristmasEve201 Jan 5 2018, 11:24 PM

Yeh series 4 was epic, especially the ending!

I like series 3 in the sense that they continue to link things to the real political stories of the day and the first labour government was a big deal in 1923/24 and they were brought down by fake links with Russia by the right wing press but yeh the linking it with the Peaky Blinders didn't work.

This will be following in the footsteps of Line of Duty as Series 5 will air on BBC One!

Not suprised, especially considering it was in the list of Top 10 most streamed shows in the UK!

Posted by: Steve201 Aug 22 2018, 06:38 PM

When's it start?

All we know so far is “some time next year”. At least that gives me time to catch up - I’m still on series 1 laugh.gif

Posted by: Steve201 Aug 24 2018, 07:31 PM

Yeh they never rerun exactly a year later!

Posted by: Medellíam Aug 1 2019, 11:46 PM

First trailer for Series 5 has been released:



No air date as of yet but the first series had its premiere at Birmingham Town Hall last month so it won't be long - perhaps the start of September?

Series 1 to 4 are currently on iPlayer. I've heard many people talk about the show but I've never watched in full; think it might be one to put on my list!

Posted by: Medellíam Aug 9 2019, 06:51 PM

Returns Sunday 25th August at 9pm on BBC 1:


Posted by: Steve201 Aug 9 2019, 07:29 PM

Can't wait to see Tomas Shelby MP!

I assume the charasmatic politican is Oswald Mosley?!

Posted by: Klaus Aug 9 2019, 07:45 PM

Exciting, Series 4 picked up after a more disappointing Series 3 so I hope this carries it on.

Posted by: Mart!n Aug 12 2019, 09:15 AM

Never watched the show, but my brother is a big fan of the series and has all the DVDs, and recently thought what was I missing about the series, as there are lots of people talking about the series, I've seen the first 3 seasons and I was hooked, I must admit Series 3 was the poorest. I'm yet to see Series 4 , so I must get watching before the new series starts. I'm glad its been moved to BBC1 which shows that is more to come.

Posted by: Steve201 Aug 20 2019, 03:04 PM

A sick day and rewatching Peaky Blinders before Sunday is always fun!

Posted by: Steve201 Aug 25 2019, 11:14 PM

Good first episode for me - being a politics geek when saying it was inaccurate to have Thomas Shelby on the opposition benches as a labour mp in Oct 1929 when Ramsay McDonald was PM but then again Churchill wasn't PM either.

Posted by: Steve201 Sep 15 2019, 09:18 PM

Is no one else watching this? This series is incredible!

He's not on the opposition benches. He sits on the same side of the house as Mosley, who he explicitly says in one episode is deputy to the chancellor of the exchequer and cabinet advisor to the PM.

Churchill is shown as an opposition back bencher when Shelby gives his first 'pro-fascist' speech - his only appearance since season 2

It may have been misleading as the show primarily sets the camera in the position of the speaker's seat which is flipped from what we're used to on the news.

Posted by: Steve201 Sep 16 2019, 08:03 PM

Yeh that must be it.

Is it the same actor playing Churchill? What are you making of the series?

It's the same actor from series 2 apparently.

I think this series is around as good as 1 & 4. 2 was marginally weaker but still excellent and 3 was a bit of a mess in places.

Posted by: Steve201 Sep 17 2019, 08:37 PM

Yeh agreed although I enjoyed series 3 too as it links everything to the politics of the day.

Mosley's speech was brillant the way it linked it to today's issues!

Posted by: Steve201 Sep 22 2019, 09:50 PM

Peaky Blinders...wow. One of the very best TV dramas ever. Scenes with Oswald Mosley almost unwatchable, such resonance with today. Brilliant from start to finish. Why do I care so much about a ruthless razor gang leader?? Cillian Murphy incredible.
