[@Theoneeyed_ghoul]

Every single reactor all the sudden finally decided to acknowledge this shows existence. About damn time! My favorite show of all time

[@danielgardecki1046]

It's about time that reactors starting reacting to legendary *ITV* dramas... The dramas which constantly beat *BBC One* in the ratings for a reason... Yet I haven't seen a reactor watch a single *ITV* drama ever, as they're only interested in: British Sitcoms - Mainly by the BBC and Channel 4. British Dramas - Which have been distributed by Netflix or HBO outside of the UK.

[@sarab89hj]

Its planned. People watch multiple reactions. The culminative benefit if the coordinate drops is worth. There is discord for it.

[@danielgardecki1046]

@@flawedgenius As I said, *ITV* beat *BBC One* in the annual ratings every single year until the early 2000s for a reason. *ITV* had better shows than the *BBC.* *ITV* still had better show than the *BBC* until the early 2010s when they decided to cancel most of their most popular long-running dramas, which they claimed they had to cancel partly because of the 2008 financial crisis, but mainly it was because Peter Fincham wanted to commission his own inferior shows to replace them. Those shows had been going for 10, 20, 30+ years, and were still love by the public as shown by viewing figures and the polls, but Peter Fincham cancelled them all.

[@CosmicAether]

Fun Fact: Peaky Blinders was a real British Gang. Historians claim that the word "peaky" was often used to describe any flat cap with a peak while blinder was and remains a term for a well-dressed individual in Birmingham slang.

[@_thecrimsonreaper_4972]

Incorrect, peaky blinders means they blind people with their peak hats

[@Jsmhuudr4]

​Your the kind of guy to also think robin hood wasnt a real person lol​@@_thecrimsonreaper_4972

[@InimitableAde]

​@@_thecrimsonreaper_4972two things can be true. They ARE some sharp dressers.

[@CosmicAether]

@@_thecrimsonreaper_4972 Not true. It is commonly believed that the name Peaky Blinders comes from the razor blades that the gang sewed into the peaks of their hats and used to slash their victims across the face. However historians have pointed out that the type of replaceable razor blades that were sewn into their hats were not manufactured in Britain until 1908. Considering the real Peaky Blinders were founded in the 1880s and were taken over by Billy Kimber by 1910 the name clearly predates the introduction of these razors. Also the whole Billy Kimber thing isn't a spoiler for the show as the show changes some things.

[@joshua.910]

My best friend is a direct descendent of one of the gang - Harry Fowles. Youll see him if you search the peakys on wikipedia, theres a great Birmingham historian by the name of Carl Chinn, himself related to one of the gang. Please take time to watch some of the videos hes created, very fascinating.

Tommy was a tunnel digger, digging silently in the direction of the enemy trenches, until he arrives under those trenches and detonate an huge explosive charge. The Germans were doing the same. Sometimes two tunnels jointed and the man had to fight man to man. You should watch some "Flanders Fields battles" documentaries before continuing to watch this show.....to understand the kind of man Tommy is...

[@FleX_94]

The writing in this show is phenomenal and because the seasons are so short there's not a single wasted episode or scene, everything has substance and meaning! And the cinematography is outstanding! You boys are in for a treat, especially when a certain character makes his appearance in season 2 😉

I suspect there is a communication between a lot of the larger reaction channels to exploit the algorithm as much as possible. Might be fringe-conspiracy-theory territory but if it was me I sure as Hell would.

The razor blades are key to the name. They wore peaked caps with razors in the brim to slash and blind you with. Thus "Peaky Blinders" 😀

The real gang didn't have razors though. They were called the Peaky Blinders for another reason.

Like the fact that practically everyone from stuff like *Game of Thrones, Downton Abbey, Happy Valley, Emmerdale, Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings* and *Peaky Blinders* has filmed in my city, most of which have filmed in a building just 1.5 miles down the road from me in *Bradford* the world's first *UNESCO City of Film* which is used for at least 17 different locations in the show.

I remember hearing an interview with a Birmingham local historian who wrote a book on the Peaky Blinders; apparently, his grandfather was one of them. He was very clear on two points: 1. Historically, they did become powerful enough that they were able to influence the racing up at Aintree, but after that, the show DEFINITELY deviates from history. 2. As happy as he was that Cilian Murphy had made the Brummie Accent sexy, he wanted to hammer home the point that the Peaky Blinders were violent, dangerous men. Which is probably true of every romanticised gang.

[@lillonerboi504]

This is one of my favorite shows of all time. I picked it up randomly during the pandemic because I was bored and the same as Oak and Quinn I was immediately put off but stuck with it out of boredom. Odd music and strange heavy accents without much immediate plot progression had me worried. But it quickly got interesting, I began to understand the speech with ease without subtitles, and every single season is better than the last and I genuinely mean that. One of the few shows that actually expands and delves into the season before while adding new elements in each season. Cillian of course kills it but so does Paul Anderson as Arthur, and of course Helen McCrory as Aunt Pol and so many others that gave a fantastic performance. This is gonna be a favorite I think for you guys.

The hilarious thing is, to British ears, that is quite a light Birmingham accent 😆 Also, the 'Peak' in Peaky Blinders refers to the News Boy caps they wear, while the 'Blinders' is a double entendre, meaning a Sharply dressed man and also, refers to the Razor Blades they sew into their Caps to use in fights.

The way they incorporated the complex post war political landscape is incredible the rising Irish independence movement creeping communism and criminal gangs all filled with veterans willing to fight even the government for their cause.
