Why do the seasons have to be so short 
Nice finale.

Television Peaky Blinders

A great series, but the writers seemed to have lost patience at the end, looking for a bigger twist or shock too frequently and dramatically. Sometimes less is best.
The Tom Hardy scene was great, what a fantastic actor. While i found the season entertaining, its all becoming a bit ridiculous. They might as well have the Thomas working for the Illuminati next season.
I found the ending quite comical.

The whole cast are great actors but that was probably the scene of the series. It has all got a bit silly now but the acting and cinematography seems to be an antidote to that.
The whole communism and Russia connection isn't as daft as it may seem today. The communism movement was significant in Britain in those days and Lenin, Trotsky and Marx had all lived in England for periods before that so the connections would still have been there.
Yeah i didn't quite enjoy this season as much as the others, i kinda miss the small scale rivary days. Tom Hardy though is awesome, as said, that scene in the final episode was worth watching the whole season for!
Very enjoyable finale that. Made me ponder how many shows I've seen that seem to fall flat on the ol' season finales these days.
Needs more Tom Hardy next season. Or not, let his moments stay sweet and short.
Anyone out there interested in representing the CAF?
Damn, so close to fitting the criteria.
I've got the no previous acting experience down.

I'm a bit behind when it comes to Peaky Blinders, but a few people have recommended it so I decided to start watching this past Sunday on Netflix. Now on episode four of the first series and, while it's good, it hasn't quite gripped me the way I thought it might.
Should I continue with it, does it get better?

I've seen it all and did think it was really good but I didn't binge watch it like I do other shows. Prob watched 1 or 2 episodes a week cos the pace of it isn't the quickest. I did prefer Series 2 to 1 though and I'd definitely stick with it. I thought the last couple episodes of S1 and pretty much all of S2 was the best episodes.
Obviously not!
Although I personally think the high standard of production and music alone make it well worth a watch. If you're three quarters the way through series one, and it's done nothing for you then perhaps you should choose something else.
Having said that, they are not particularly long series and it might be worth sticking with it just to witness Tom Hardy's cockney Jew portrayal in series two and three.
He makes a brief appearance in the first half of series two but you have go 12 in to see his best work: "I once carried out my own personal form of stigmata on an Italian. I pushed his face up against a trench and shoved a six-inch nail up his fecking nose and I hammered it home with a duckboard. It was fecking biblical, mate."
Would recommend sticking wiv it!

End of the first series and until now is where it gets good! Stick with it man
Tom Hardy's accent in it is brilliant.
Tom Hardy's scenes are all great.
To answer your question it's probably the last 1 or 2 episodes of Season 1 where it gets really good and keeps up a pretty steady standard from there so give those a go and if it still isn't for you it might be worth stopping.
Having said that as I said above Tom hardy is great in it and given the relative shortness of th seasons it might be worth going all the way anyway.

Given all the encouragement, we decided to keep on watching and it turns out episode five might have been a turning point. Some interesting developments and I'm now optimistic about episode six tonight.
Also didn't realise Tom Hardy was in it. One of my favourite actors so I'll be eagerly anticipating his appearance.

Brilliant, is Hardy in the next series?
He plays a great character in it! It's onwards and upwards from Season 2Given all the encouragement, we decided to keep on watching and it turns out episode five might have been a turning point. Some interesting developments and I'm now optimistic about episode six tonight.

Yes believe he is back in season 4, scriptwriter who is also doing Taboo has said so.
Finished Season 2 last night and Season 3 doesn't seem to be on Netflix yet. Glad I stuck with it, turned out to be a good show. Not great, but worth a watch. Found it to be a bit predictable, and I thought the second season lost its way a bit with London and the IRA, but Cillian Murphy's character was excellent.
Adrien Brody will be in season 4.
Only just got into this, watched the first two series in the last few weeks, absolutely outstanding.
Littlefinger too
I wonder which of his many accents will turn up for this one
Dublin Id say, Imagine he would be one of the Irish big shots.
Anyone know why season 3 of this isn't on Netflix?
Should be up soon according to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/netflix/comments/67vy9e/peaky_blinders_season_3_netflix_uk/
Feels like forever i've waited for Season 4.
Thanks, hopefully it's up soon.
So bloody good.
Brilliant episode, Brody's character looking like a great addition.
Gutted about John, he's not getting up from that, reckon Michael will survive but realistically the mafia should be making sure that he's dead.
My sisters friend was Antonio
Most series deteriorate after the second or so, but this is very promising.
What an opener. Was shocked by the ending mind, Didn't see that happening this early.
Forgot how good this show was, first episode last night was a cracker! I can't believe this thread is only 3 pages, probably the best TV show going.
I think so, you only see him being hit once by a bullet. Thinking about it afterwards, if they wanted to killed of a main character , John 's time was probably up on the show, he was did start the whole thing with the Italians
I was thinking the same thing. Last night's episode was particularly good but I reckon this show is better than GoT. Or Breaking Bad. Put the show's creators in charge of Brexit and theyd probably have rebuilt the British Empire by March 2019, theyre that good.
Agreed, this show is definitely top 3 and if this series goes well it will number 1.

Roit! Let's get on with this then!
EDIT: That was from the end of last season, I'm now diving into series 4 episode 1 btw

I watched the first episode of the first season yesterday and that's enough for me. It's probably brilliant but I just can't deal with the accents.
Same with me, but months ago.
