Peaky Blinders

[Diane CBPFC]

Anyone here watching Peaky Blinders - it is referred to as a modern cult classic.

I have been watching it and find it has the best storyline of a series that I have seen in years. Another good Netflix series is out of Australia, called Wanted - it is a little cheap in production but the storyline is also so fresh and twisty - two ladies on the run from the law and the baddies.

Any TV series or movie recommendations for the winter months?

Well, you all know it's my favourite book but "Lonesome Dove" is also a stunning TV series with the brilliant Robert Duvall leading the cast. Breathtakingly good.
Must give Peaky Blinders a go.

The Orville.

Don't be put off by the slightly juvenile first episode as after that it gets much darker and more character driven.

I did look up those two suggestions on Netflix, neither are currently showing. Lonesome Dove brings a list of similar shows, nothing comes up for The Orville. I looked it up and it is probably a little too recent for Netflix.

Since returning to my homeland, I have discovered a true gem in this gritty, northern, crime saga, that truly tells it how it is in uncompromising fashion (subsequent episodes available on YouTube)...

I've never seen this before---loved it! Some glorious deadpan deliveries.

Only glanced at a few seconds while busy with decorations, but it seems my kind of thing.

I'm loving every second of it. Trying to ration my viewing. Every character is a gem, but the chief inspector is truly inspired, and I think I'm falling for Police Officer Karen.
