Sunday night saw the end of one series, Trigger Point, and the beginning of the last ever series of Peaky Blinders.
I found Trigger Point to be a decent enough series to want to watch the planned 2nd series next year. Karl Maguire was one of the main suspects all along as he always appeared to be a tad 'shifty'. The main confusing thing, for me, was why, when he apparently loved Lana, did he spend the entire series trying to blow her to smithereens?
Peaky began on a poignant note with the burning of Polly Grey's caravan and her presence was definitely noticed from this first episode. It would appear that sister Ada may be the one to take up Poll's mantle. One thing we did learn; a sober Tommy Shelby is a very frightening prospect, as i am sure his enemies will discover in this series. Can't see him dying because there is to be a follow on film after the series ends. and no doubt Arthur will sober up in time to help his brother:-)
Anyone watch either/both?
I prepared for the new series of Peaky by binge-watching the last series over Fri and Sat, Dave, but there is a couple of minutes recap as the programme begins.
I think PB is definitely a case of style over substance. Really well directed by Anthony Byrne, but I don't care about any of the characters, or what happens to them.
Re TP - Karl McG just needed Lana’s inside intelligence. More to the point, how did she get away with sharing such high security info with him including setting up John? Or are we still suspicious of him with his A-Z?
I read some disappointing reviews when TP started so decided to wait. Reviews have improved so I will go back and watch it now.
PB excellent start to the series and lovely tribute to Polly.
