What's Peaky Blinders about? I'm just finishing off the last series on Sky Go of Elementary, which was enjoyably naff. I'm watching Justified, which is brilliant still, but I'm looking for something else to replace the Elementary void when I'm travelling. Justified is the home with the missus, in front of the fire with a beer, programme.

Wouldnt be dying about Peaky Blinders - watched the first season. The 2nd one would needa improve. Fairly bad accents and thick as champ RA men so far.

Watched both seasons of Peaky Blinders and it is decent enough but nothing special.

Watched first two episodes of Peaky Blinders. A bit meh, and left it at that.

Finished s5 of American Horror Story there a while back. To say the least it is quirky , ghoulish and bizarre. Would recommend the series although it won't be to everyone's taste.

Watching Vikings at the minute. Think its a great show. Dare say I say I am enjoying it more than Game of thrones

I see the American crime story - the people vs o.j Simpson aired last night in the u.s and seems to have got very good reviews.. For eg 'Expertly executed entertainment' the telegraph

it has a good cast , Marcia Clark, Cuba gooding Jr., John travolta, David schwimmer etc

It starts next week on Feb 13th on bbc2 so will give it a try ..

Watching it. The first 2 episodes were average as most time was spent on backstory for people who haven't seen the originals. Last night's (episode 3) was f**king bonkers! Scully looking the part though.

Scully never looked the part imo so she certainly doesn't now! She's had plenty of work done I'd say.
Watched the first episode tonight. It was meh.

This 20min show was directed by a local lad from Eskra Co Tyrone. Not a bad story just don't expect it to raise your spirits

The 2nd series of Siblings on BBC3 just finished tonight, seriously funny show, deserves a lot more recognition.

Can't find thr friday night music thread but this may be of interest.
