Peaky Blinders

[Ken4155]

Excellent finale. Sets things up perfectly for the planned film.

[goodgoalie]

Overblown, overpraised, overlong. So over

[Ken4155]

Each to his own, gg.

“ Overblown, overpraised, overlong. So over”

There speaks one who presumably watched the lot :-)

I didn’t know there was to be a film. There was always supposed to be 7 series with WWII sirens going over Birmingham at the bed.
I wondered if series 6 was a big wind up. Like Arthur’s death earlier on a grander scale.

At the “end”

[Tilly2]

Loved it, loved it, loved it!

[ladybirder]

Me too Tills. Sorry it's finished.

[Tilly2]

Cillian Murphy has become even more beautiful over the last nine years.
Swoon...

[ladybirder]

Yes he did. I must admit I'd never heard of him before Peaky Blinders.

[Tilly2]

LB, have a look at the images from Breakfast on Pluto.
He looks very different. :-)

[aelmpvw]

having to turn the volume down every time there was loud music became a little tedious . . .

[naomi24]

I've not long been watching it but I'm loving it, I'm on Series 4 (I think) at the moment.

I have to have sub-titles on because I can't understand what they're saying so the volume doesn't need to be up high, hence curing the problem of loud music.

[ichkeria]

Sub-titles a necessity, with Cillian Murphy whispering and grunting his way through 36 episodes. I hadn't realised Paul Anderson was a Londoner. It's amazing to me how actors master regional accents like that.

Probably not a good place to come if you're not up to date (!) Threre are potential spoilers all over the place.
So I best not say what my favourite moment was in the last episode, other than it involved Arthur, a gun (naturally), poison gas and a loud bang.

[Ken4155]

As good an actor as Cillian Murphy is, Tom Hardy stole every scene they were in together. There was a touch of the Fagin about him at times.
As an aside, i loved the occasional flashback scenes in which Aunt Polly appeared.

[ichkeria]

Tom Hardy certainly had the best lines!

Apart from possibly Arthur in the scene I mentioned …

[ladybirder]

It gets 5* from me. Sunday evenings won't be the same without it. Arthur was outstanding.

Tills I've just had a look and he's so young but already beautiful. Do you recommend watching Breakfast on Pluto?

[ladybirder]

Oh Yes Tom Hardy. When he's on the screen I don't see anything but him.
And he adores animals and especially dogs. Perfect!

[Ken4155]

Ich, i can't recall what it was Arthur said, now (i will be watching it again so no spoilers) 'cos i was too busy watching his hair 'morphing' into various styles. Almost a different style for each bullet that left the barrel of his gun :-)

[Smowball]

This series certainly wasn’t as outstanding at the previous but the finale lastnight certainly made up for it! As for Cilian Murphy - wow,just wow!!

[Tilly2]

LB, we haven't actually watched Breakfast on Pluto. It has some excellent actors in it and might be worth a watch.

[maggiebee]

I'm binge watching and up to series 3. Loving it.
