Recommendation Just started Peaky Blinders… why didn’t anyone shake me sooner?!

As in… wow. I feel robbed for not watching this sooner. Peaky Blinders is everything I want in a show sharp, intense, stylish, and full of bite. Every scene feels cinematic, the pacing is tight, and the characters? Complex AF.

It’s not just a gangster show it’s about trauma, ambition, and power plays wrapped in designer suits and razor hats. Cillian Murphy eats every scene. The soundtrack? Chef’s kiss.

If you’re into smart, gritty crime dramas like Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, or Narcos this is your next obsession. 10/10. No notes.

Ok this is my sign I have to try again. I have tried it twice and each time I just can’t seem to get more than 10-15 mins in AND I freakin love Cillian Murphy. Trying again - thank you!

I've tried a couple of times, also, but they talk too fast and mumble so much, I can't understand half of what they are saying.

Closed captions are your friend. Those accents are a lot, too.
