TV: Peaky Blinders Season 1

Well hey, its got the filter where everything looks blue and gray.  They play with the lighting almost every episode.  There appears to be some CGI.  Definitely for the lads, lots of booze, smoke, gore.  Some of the acting is really competent and other bits are really cringey, but they make a good show to talk shit about.  Abrupt plot twists are part of gangster shows, but some of these are just implausible.  Suddenly all these geniuses fall in love and put years of plans and family in the trash.  Anyway, there's a bit too much talk of how awesome everyone is and lack of actually being awesome.

Still, I'm enjoying myself and I'm now in season 2 steaming along.
