I’ve seen several of y’all mention it in tv threads and it’s been on my Netflix list 3-4 years but I always found an excuse not to start something new. Well I was up to after 1 watching the first season this morning, perhaps the most interesting 6 hours of tv that I have watched in a LONG time, thanks to those that were pimping it. Fantastic show, great opening music as well. I knew I had heard that song before, but until I looked it up I would never guessed it was from the movie Dumb and Dumber that I first heard it.

It really gets rolling when Alfie (Tom Hardy) shows up. His character is entrancing.

I’m rewatching it now.

It’s awesome. In season 2 currently. The short seasons are a blessing and a curse. I was pissed when each season ended so soon, but enjoyed the intense fast development.

It is kind of jarring how fast it goes by, especially with the amount of time that goes by between seasons, but I like it. It's definitely unique compared to other shows of that quality.

Such a great show. Turn the subtitles on, sit back and enjoy.... “by orda of the peaky 17in blindas”

I watched the first couple of seasons and then stopped once the Russians came along, maybe I need to give the last couple of seasons a shot. Tbf I don't usually make it through entireties of shows. At some point they all kinda start dragging for me. Walking Dead got so horrendous after awhile to the point I was actively rooting for the zombies. I did make it to the end of Breaking Bad though.

It does a fantastic job of marrying modern rock with the gritty underworld of the 20’s

Watched all 5 seasons can't wait for the 6th. Recommend turning the subtitles on sometimes hard to understand them. Great 5 seasons

I can’t follow it well without subtitles. What’s the old line- the USA and Great Britain are two nations divided by a common language. It is an excellent watch.

Fine acting by all in that series. Dude that plays the brother Arthur shines above all of 'em and the aunt is pretty damn good as well..hard to choose the best acting performance. simply a great series. The Brits put shade on American television not to mention British shows on PBS.

Finished all 5 seasons, awesome viewing. I’m wondering where his relationship with Churchill goes. And while not likely I was wondering if his dealing with automobiles might have led to Carroll Shelby possibly being his descendant. So many places it can go. Gonna suck waiting until 2022 to see season 6. But at least with the short seasons I’ll be ready to rewatch by then.

Dammit...I thought this post was going to be about season 6 release date. It really is a badass show
