Damn just got into Peaky Blinders

[Bleed The Freak]

Someone mentioned my pick for Mr. Fantastic in the Avengers thread.

He's a dark horse choice for sure, but Rami Malek.

He looks strange as hell before you add any CGI and he has proved that he's great when the subject matter in front of him is mind bendingly weird.

Plus I like the idea of Reed being a bit younger than Tony and them.

My dark horse is Eddie Redymane as Mr. Fantastic.

It's a slow burn. Really good. Give it about 3 epsiodes.

I think it's phenomenal and Murphy has Doom written all over him.

What would you compare this to?

Never watched Boardwalk so I can't really say that.

This show is really unique in that it predates WWII....It's 1919-1930-ish England with Gypsies, Italians , British, Irish, Jews all fighting for territory.

Think of it as what led up to Godfather/Once Upon A Time in America from pre-immigration point of view.

What the uncles/dads etc did before they left Europe.

Murphy has that Jack Nicholson deal where he switches from psycho to sympathetic all in the same scene. He's sensational. Dude should be cleaning up awards on this.

Would you say this is better than Taboo?

 

[Bleed The Freak]

Would you say this is better than Taboo?

Still need to catch.

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

Would you say this is better than Taboo?

Personally, yes.

 

[Lootpack]

That moment when you want to watch it

......but you got TOO MANY DAMN SHOWS on the backlog

 

[Hopeofmypeople]

Personally, yes.

That’s high praise as I thought Taboo was flawless, the episodes are short as well. What is with these British shows and short seasons.

 

[Hopeofmypeople]

Still need to catch.

Watch it now that show is amazing.

I was mainly into Taboo for the fukkery. Like I said in the thread - it's 'Auld Timey Batman'

Peaky Blinders has a broader cast of characters.
