Aye reading books. Or have a look at this guys story. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0pdktx9M6EcOsRg5LdLlXg Some interesting jail tales in there, on how it works as a business etc. Boy was a stockbroker who turned into "ecstasy kingpin" drug smuggler/supplier , ended up in a supply war with sammy the bull (who was in witness protection at the time) and did 6 odd years in that famous sherriff's dude jail.

TDYER63 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Peaky Blinders. Meh. I was a bit disappointed. Style over substance IMO. Newspaper reviews seem to disagree right enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also whilst a music score can make a show I really think they have over indulged with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it does reflect how over indulged the Shelbys have become but I am not as keen on this format. There is time for it to change right enough.

But thats because I had a barbecue yesterday and was half cut by 9pm. I become even more deaf when I have been drinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debian Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Earlier seasons on Peaky Blinders was better but you must watch expect us to be blamed on Sportscene by Stewart this week over this. https://twitter.com/ThePeakyBlinder/status/1166100236076556288?s=08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDYER63 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Episode 2 was equally uninspiring, and I watched it sober with no sub titles. 😕 The Billy Boys introduction was like a cheap amateur dramatics production , jumping out the bushes and launching into a chorus of the Billy Boys. I have seen scarier women stagger down The Copland Road. And don't even mention the Glaswegian accent. Polly has become a caricature. There is far too much unnecessary posturing and as mentioned earlier the music is now an over indulgence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDYER63 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Finally finished series 4 of Gomorrah. For a programme that was bathed in misery and had literally no redeeming characters it was unbelievably good. Keeping with the upbeat theme, I felt there was a slight improvement in episode 3 of Peaky Blinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCTA Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Unbelievable on Netflix. True story about a young girl who was raped in America and after nobody believing her was charged with reporting a false crime..... Until piles of others came forward with the same story.
