I loved the first two series of this but it's got overly complicated now and I'm finding the story line completely implorsable. I wish they had stopped at series two or I'd stopped watchin. I'm so dissapointed. Perhaps I'm getting old but the I find the language and sex gratuitous just there to titalate and draw the attention away from a woeful storylin. Yep I sound old and grumpy don't I wink

I've lost the plot too, but I'll stick with it as my family came from Peaky Blinders territory (my cousin still lives round the corner from The Garrison).As a child I used to play at Black Patch Park where the gypsies had lived. I'm sure it's why I love horse racing so much (and love a flutter from time to time).I am going to watch it with subtitles next week, though, as I haven't got a clue what they're saying.

I love it (although I do have my hands up over my eyes a lot)! The music's very good, and I do like the way the men walk......has anyone noticed that? Something about that, isn't there.... wink

Unfortunately, I have completely lost the plot on this one, not like me at all, and I am going to give up on it, because I do not like the language and I do think it is unnecessarily brutal. Not really my kind of viewing after all, and I did so enjoy the first part.

For a moment I thought Tommy was going to hand his little boy over to the gipsy woman to bring up out of harm's way - along with a huge wedge of cash of course!

It's very violent and I sometimes find it hard to keep up with who's who but can't stop watching.

Agree about the music last night.

Last nights episode!!!!!!! Thought the music was brilliant. So good

It is I think a savage programme, and I am not really into that sort of thing, but I do enjoy it. I think my dad was very much on the edge of gambling groups, and was probably often scared of the outcome of some of his "losses", but he was a good dad, and I am sure I often benefited from some of his more devious ways. He was the black sheep of the family, so very little is known of his activities.

I noticed a cafe in Birmingham City Centre last week called Peaky Blinders and popped my head in but no he wasn't there sad grin

It is, whitewave. Jut googled it. Must get caught up with 2!

whitewave Sat 23-Apr-16 13:10:07

Is this series 3 coming up? Not sure.

Marelli Sat 23-Apr-16 12:55:15

How many series were there, whitewave? We're just starting to watch Series 2.

whitewave Sat 23-Apr-16 12:00:39

Watch it from series 1 it is addictive.

I've avoided it because I was worried it would be too violent. I am squeamish! But based on this thread maybe I'll give it a try!

Marelli Sat 23-Apr-16 11:32:48

Isn't he gorgeous! Must catch up on all the previous episodes on Netflix before new series starts. smile

You can't miss it! Full page photo of that divine chap. He's 40 this year, decided to act with more decorum now. Studied law but took up acting.

KatyK Sat 23-Apr-16 10:35:14

Ooo I must find that.

NanKate Sat 23-Apr-16 10:10:29

No one has the right to such blue eyes. He is divine! A good article and photos in the Saturday Guardian this morning.
