    Peaky Blinders is literate (watch for the visual references to “L’Atalante” and Charon’s crossing) and sometimes great looking, with impressive evocations of hellish industrial sections of Birmingham that have a science-fiction feel. But for a sprawling soap opera that packs in Roma curses, shell shock, hash pipes, Chinatown prostitutes and gang members sporting the 1919 version of a half-shaved boy-band haircut, it doesn’t have quite enough juice.

    It’s a respectable but chilly effort, fine for those who choose to invest the time but hardly a loss should one turn a blind eye.

This is my first metacritic review as a result, Though I write a lot of reviews on IMDB. I simply have to throw my two cents in and say I think this is the third best show ever created for TV behind Breaking Bad and The Wire. Cillian Murphy and Sam Neill head up a great cast that also includes strong work from Annabelle Wallis and several others. I dare you not to binge watch this on Netflix. It has a fantastic anachronistic soundtrack, a phenomenal bleak look, and just a great great story. Season one has one of the greatest cliffhanger endings ever, and season 2 which I have not seen yet, has Tom Hardy starring. I am blown away that the two critics reviews here are so low. But this is one phenomenal show.… Full Review »

Cilian Murphy is lights-out. He is mesmerizing on screen, and the ultimate Alpha Male in this show. While the show has a bit of violence, it's nothing overwhelming. My wife has turned her eyes away a few times, but it's not at all over-the-top (at least, not through episode 4 of Season 1).… Full Review »
