I do need to watch Peaky Blinders. But I will say about 90% of my interest in this is based on Tom Hardy.

I prefer historical dramas with Hollywood sanitized dentition. Definitely an area were I pass on realism. All I can think about is bad breath.

I find the dialogue muddled at times. I'm sticking with it though.

There's only one actor I can't understand. The one with the map on his head. I rewound one scene twice and gave up.

I dropped this. I was struggling though the last episode and realized I don't care if he gets to keep his land and screw his sister.

Tom Hardy is fucking fantastic in this. The problem is, he is so much better than the other actors on this show that it makes them all seem so shitty.

Well, that was one way to wrap up a storyline; just kill everyone.
