Ah yeah, couldn't pin down why she looked familiar and I didn't care enough to look it up.

Binged through this show the past few weeks. Liked seasons 1 & 2, although they were just solidly average. Season 3 was a bit more wild, some good stuff some bad stuff - the violence in the show is not done very well in the first 3 seasons. Enjoyed season 4, maybe a bit too cliche/tropey but the acting and stories were fun to watch.
Definitely recommend a watch to anyone who likes gangster type shows, I think Boardwalk Empire was a better show overall although it had a lot of low points, but man Michael Shannon and Michael Williams (Omar) and Mickey Doyle were just amazing characters and stories, and the twists and turns of that show were insane.
Peaky Blinders season 5 has finished filming and will air sometime in summer 2019 on BBC One, not sure when it'll hit Netflix. The show is planned for 7 full seasons with a conclusion.
I'm starting to realize a lot of new shows are built for the next generation and hold little to no interest to me so going back and watching older shows I missed. Next up is Longmire I think. Still gotta get to Ozark too.

7 seasons? Egh... it has become really formulaic as it is. I still love the show, but it's starting to drag.

That was an interesting season. I got used to a season completing a story arc where the grand villain(of Sorts) is bested by the gang. This ended one ended with no such affair and apparently somebody really went against the Peaky Blinders. It was entertaining as always.

Overall a decent season, not the best (for me that would be season 2), and not the worst (for me that would be season 3). I am afraid even this show has not avoided the SJW treatment, as the main antagonist is some proto-typical fascist who warns against "fake news" and the need to put "Britain first".....gee, I wonder what thinly veiled reference that could be for? Then to have Tommy Shelby be some sort of secret commie-lover.....when he's a gangster who's entire lifestyle is fashioned by capitalism, not to mention he's back to dealing drugs meant for who exactly? I guess I can't have a single decent show nowadays that doesn't want to dabble in politics.

JFC it's only YOU injecting personal politics into it.
The British fascist party, led by the character in the show, was a real fucking thing.

Yeah, I know. I also knew that Brilliant Chang also existed in real life.
What I also know is that they tried to implicate that Trump is somehow a modern day Mosley. Surely you aren't so obtuse as to not see the connection? The moment Mosely mentioned in his speech about watching out for "fake news".....the only thing missing was "Make Britannia Great Again".
And again, to have some sort of hardened gangster like Shelby whose entire empire was created by the enormous wealth he made through illegal trade, basically a poster child for capitalism, but you know, deep-down he's just such a complicated man and really he's sympathetic with communists....like why? Makes zero sense. Turning him into some sort of Robin Hood to appease the masses is just weak writing, and anathema to his character up to this point.
