Peaky Blinders

[Shorty]

Who else is in love with this show? I'm sucked in.

Tom Hardy's role is a small one, but clearly the best in the show and with every line he speaks, he steals the spotlight more and more for me. Cillian Murphy is amazing, of course, as he is in everything he does, and I fell in love with Helen McRory as soon as she slapped that dude in like, the first episode. Absolutely brilliant cast.

Not really feeling Sam Neill, though. In the first few episodes especially his accent kept slipping from Irish to American and overall I'm not very fond of him, not at all. I was hoping he'd have a sort of Inspect Javert feel to him, ie a villain one can love, but I'm just not feeling it with him.

Excellent show so far, though. I'm halfway through season two and wanting more! Definitely one of my favorite new shows.

I will watch just for Tom Hardy. Been a fan of his since Bronson. Top actor.

[Shorty]

He's not a major character and it takes a while for him to show up, but he's good.

[Shiny]

What episodes is he in? I can just watch those. :3

This is on my to-watch list. And it just jumped up a lot because of Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy. I didn't realize either of them were in it.

Mmmm. Tom Hardy.

This show is a bit laughable. Why is he so serious about bread? xD

Case in point. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olwYxXWHBz8)

Oh, I geddit now the baking is just a facade for their alcohol which I assume is illegal or something during this time period?

[Shorty]

You need to watch the whole thing, goddamnit. :colbert:

[Shiny]

Ok, but only for Cillian Murphy.

[Shorty]

Good! The show shouldn't be judged on why he's so serious about bread. He's so serious about bread because he's totally kooky and off the wall. It's not a reflection on how serious the show takes itself!

[Shiny]

He literally just bitch slapped someone because they asked where the bread was, which is a legitimate question.

[Shorty]

He's a hero xD
