Is it the best show currently airing?

Creator Steven Knight made an American film called Serenity - it bombed. Eventually his partnership with Tom Hardy will produce a Best Picture Oscar.

Epic scene!

 
The last two seasons of Peaky Blinders is a product of Hardy,Son & Baker. The production company of Steven Knight and Tom Hardy.

Steven Knight came to prominence with David Cronenberg.

 
I may have to give it a try, I went from Sopranos to Boardwalk Empire.
Enjoyed them a lot.
This looks like the next show to try.

I'll disagree, I swear 25% of an episode is spent walking around, looking cool while music is playing.
 
In Boardwalk Empire, Stephen Graham plays Al Capone. He's currently playing Albert Provanzano in The Irishman.

He's also in Taboo and played Jacob Marley in A Christmas Carol.

That describes Taboo as well but, my friend, you can't see the forest from the trees.

Still haven't figured out whom Billy Magnussen is playing in The Sopranos prequel?

 
The Sopranos sequel (The Many Saints of Newark) is written by david Chase and directed by Alan Taylor. It comes out in Sept 2020.

Taylor started his career working for Chase on The Sopranos, this is the last Game of Thrones episode he directed.

 
Paulie, I'm not entirely sure?

I know Joey Diaz is playing Bobby Bacallieri Sr (Burt Young). With Joe Rogan.

 
When there is so much of a gap between seasons I lose interest.

Sad but true hamermill.

Hardy's rich contract with Sony to make the Venom trilogy has stymied other projects. He got profit sharing from them, Venom was full of pot holes and seemed destined to fail. It succeed on the strength of his work and went on to push $900 million globally. Fans were pissed that he did not appear in A Christmas Carol, it was Charlotte Riley (Mrs. Hardy) who appeared in the film. Hardy partially fulfilled his commitment to Fox, but the film was truncated by Disney. It was supposed to be in three episodes, the second and third were heavily cut, it recieved the lowest score of any of his current projects.

Mrs. Hardy played Lottie/The Ghost of Christmas Present. Her role was reduced to two scenes. The UK got the original BBC format, WTF Disney!

 
Peaky Blinders is one of the best shows ever produced.

Definitely Top 5 (Arguable as to that) in my books.

Very much a character driven story with incredible acting by Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby, Helen McRory as Paulie Gray and of course, Tom Hardy. The one thing that is absolutely incredible in this show is the cinematography. It's brilliantly filmed.

Thanks to Von for putting me on to this show a couple of years ago.
 

There is scene after scene in Peaky Blinders that are incredibly filmed and acted. But this one, the above scene is one of those you see and never forget.
 
Hardy, Son & Baker now owns the rights to Peaky Blinders. With Hardy now out of the series, S7 will be broadcast this year...if it hasn't started already.

The company was originally called Hardy,Scott & Baker but it appears Ridley Scott has been bought out. He gave Hardy his second credit with Black Hawk Down.

 
I just started watching the series, it’s great.
Now I’m going to nitpick. :couch2:
I think it’s episode 3 of the first season where it’s 1919. The barmaid suggests dancing the Charleston instead of a slow dance and it hadn’t been invented until a few years later. I can’t understand a basic mistake like this when so much attention has been made to details.
