I like Peaky Blinders but it's not must-watch TV for me. Hard to put a finger on why. It's enjoyable.
I need a refresher on the past seasons but to take a stab, it's because we don't really know what's going to happen going forward and there's no huge cliff hanger as to what is gonna happen next like a game of thrones. It's just Tommy Shelby and his new ventures, add in a lot of badassery with the whole crew and you got a good, enjoyable series.
Wow, you guys are all over this. If I don't watch all of the tv show, then I won't understand what is going on in the ****ing tv show. Maybe I'll be confused? If my dumbass is confused, then I will say I hate this show, because I am a ****ing moron watching a few clips. Yall are good people, and good luck with all that.
That might be part of it. There is no overarching plot between seasons, other than Grace from S1->S2. Even so, I feel like episodes happen fairly slowly or maybe I don't find the characters that interesting. The plot is pretty formulaic, though. Every season starts with Peaky Blinders doing well in the status quo. Either Tommy wants to expand the empire and steps on somebody's turf or an old grudge causes problems. Tommy seduces a random woman who has connections, then gets kidnapped and beaten to a pulp. Polly is a b****, Arthur says "Peaky fookin Blinders" a lot, cue slow-mos of them taking their hats off to slash somebody's face. Tommy recovers and comes up with a plan to save the gang and come out on top. Then the season ends with some legal trouble.
I finished it all after Wednesdays Astros' loss. Waiting for the thread: "What is netflix's obsession with telling us fascism is bad?" The actor who plays Oswald was brilliant. For a second you wonder : did these writers get lazy and steal the speeches from a certain modern day U.S party? then you realize.. .
Totally engrossing, as usual. Great to see Alfie Solomons back again. Another maddening cliffhanger ending, though. Those loose ends...
