    I know some of you don't care too much about the Brits and their tea and Doctor who and their dalek and ****. Yeah I know it looks like a trash can with genital warts, hardy har har hahahah! This show however is pretty cool and the Scarecrow dude himself stars in this. You guys should like this being from Houston and we have lots of gangs here and it's story is centered around organized crime and how they came to be:

    Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) is the charismatic leader of a Birmingham, England crime organization known for its distinctive and lethal razor-brimmed caps. As the ambitious, deadly Tommy leads his crew to ever-greater success after World War I, they come to the attention of a chief inspector (Sam Neill) who is sent from Belfast to rid the city of its criminals. Annabelle Wallis costars in this period thriller from the writer-director of "Locke."

    Looks fantastic.
    Plus you can binge watch it.
    Plus it has Cillian Murphy in it... who stars in the best most underrated movie of the last decade imo, Sunshine. (at least underrated in terms of box office)

    Will definitely watch.

    I watched it. It's entertaining and well-acted with a couple of big names. It's kind of obviously influenced by stuff like Boardwalk Empire and Snatch, but it manages to stand on its own. There is much less violence and blood than one might expect after a steady diet of HBO dramas, but there is some. And there is plenty of Cilian Murphy looking dreamy, if that's what you're into.

    Half way through, really like what is possible. Interested to see where they go with it. The PTSD angle is pretty interesting also.

    Main character's bio reminded me a whole lot of Jimmy, who Nucky shot at the end of season 2 of Boardwalk Empire, if that helps anybody.

    This has been sitting on my Watch List on Netflix for a few weeks now. Finally got a chance to google it and see what this is about. For anyone who doesnt know - Peaky Blinders was the name of the gang. Will start watching after I finish Broadchurch.

    I rate shows by my anticipation for the next episode/season. I really am looking forward to the next season. Its certainly at the the top of my list.

    What makes the show great is that its a short season. Some of the better shows out there fall into a doldrum and too much unneeded drama is injected into the story to drag it out.

    Once I get through Mad Men, this is the next show I'm watching. Well, it's between this and Marco Polo.

    Season 1 was great. It progressively improves. Just started season 2.

    Finished season 2 watching the BBC airing. It was really good this season. Really good! I don't want to ruin it. But one of my favorite new shows.
