It's another series where no season falls flat, This first episode of season 6 has been just as amazing and I suspect the rest of the season will be. The problem with most shows is that they don't stop at the right time, that's why you find all these great shows have a great first few seasons before dropping in quality. It's because the story has hit most of its beats already and is generally being dragged out. If a show is written with an ending in mind its generally going to be good throughout because it can be paced like a film with multiple steps. It can set up the climax and ending of the show a lot smoother than a cash cow show that decides one year that this is the last season. Love this show

What an astonishing, brilliant, cool actor/ man. Bet he is a fantastic father. U slayed Tommy, dude. Here's something I bet u've heard b4....Cillian ur killing it!!!

[@helenheeney2284]

Couldn't agree more outstanding

[@1130bar]

Best show ever hands down. Tommy Shelby character is genius. Deserves a Grammy. No one else could play this part. Murphy IS Tommy Shelby.

[@melomakaronos]

Yeah I would love it if he started singing live

[@christinebrearley3150]

Love Cillian, such a gifted actor and yet seems so unspoilt and genuine. I like the way he doesn't seek the spotlight, but lets his work speak for him.

[@FightingTheNoodles]

Ali is an amazing interviewer. I rarely see Cillian so relaxed/natural in an interview!! I didn't know he gave Bowie a cap. That's amazing. Love the show and can't wait to watch!

[@gingerwoodland3698]

This is the most relaxed/engaged I've seen Cillian in an interview - Ali Plumb does it again!!

[@stephanigozalo847]

One of the best shows I have ever seen and Cillian made this possible. He is so damn good

[@JOSHHARRIS-v3w]

The cast of peaky blinders is absolutely phenomenal. Truly a wonderful performance by everyone.

[@Tonycillian5]

He is literally one of the best actors working today. Easily top 5 for me

[@neverware767]

Cillian Murphy's Thomas Shelby is probably my favorite character of any show I've watched in a long time..and yes this includes shows like Vikings, breaking bad and SOA just to name a few

[@intldawn]

Fuck, what great insight Cillian gave for how they shot the scenes with Tommy and Alfie. It totally makes sense they cross shot those in order to maintain the energy and cross play between those iconic characters . You can definitely tell the difference and what a smart choice they made to treat those scenes a little differently and ensure those two could react to each other in the moment

[@mohdramiz3565]

What is cross shot?

[@HB-LSM]

@@mohdramiz3565 usually you record dialoges "over the shoulder" which means you place one camera behind one actors shoulder, recording the other actor talking. then you set up a new scene and record the whole dialog from the other actors point of view. when you cross shoot, you place two cameras (out of frame from each other obviously) and record both parts/reactions of the dialog at the same time. hope this was understandable, if not let me know and i will try to explain better! :)

[@mohdramiz3565]

@@HB-LSM I understood it. Thanks

[@kmarr68]

This is a show where you start with two actors, thinking, "Wow BOTH are in this? It must be amazing! Gotta watch!" And then you watch it, you're amazed yes, but then you go, "WOW.... Cillian and Tom AND Helen AND Paul AND...." and you literally name every. single. actor in the show because they are all just phenomenal. That doesn't happen often. What a masterpiece.

[@MrPatspp]

Literally I started watching when a 2 minute clip from Cilian and Tom popped up in KZbin. Great show. I didn't feel this since Breaking Bad.

[@Boom-xy6je]

Cillian Murphy is a brilliant actor not just for the Peaky Blinders but for all film's his been in. Class he is.

[@esra7194]

What did I do to deserve this I can’t get enough of him

[@adrianvaduva5674]

love the show, it had its highs and lows but one thing has always been constant, the character of tommy shelby, which is one of the best characters ever written/performed in television.

Cilian is soo beautiful 😍😍😍 The best Tommy Shelby you could ask for, that character is his and only his.

[@upendrasinhmahida6375]

He is one of the world's best actor. Handsome,dashing quiet a personality. I just love this actor and would like to meet him once in my life.

[@ginargentum]

i love how he always gives credits to the staff regarding the making of the character (and deservedly so) even if he played such a large part as well

[@Mitchell_Morris]

Ali is undoubtedly the best interviewer on here. Prime example is this video, and same goes for the Tarantino video.

[@ajordan1976]

He's a god, he's a man He's a ghost, he's a guru They're whispering his name Through this disappearing land But hidden in his coat Is a red right hand. Best 🎼 The whole soundtrack.

Should’ve won an Emmy for this character. His appearance and performance was ABSOLUTELY incredible.He portrayed his character in an absolute fantastic way. Brilliant actor,Oscar for Oppenheimer SHOULD be given to Cillian ‼️‼️

Me too I would love to know where Tommy goes at the end when he’s riding off in his horse does he go home or does he continue with the family tragedy of suicide?

I have not watched the show, and now I must! There is something about Cillian that is so mesmerizing❤

I absolutely loved this interview. Cillian such handsome man, his wife is so lucky waking up to those eyes every morning. 😍 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love hearing about Tommy’s lack of eating! There’s a family story of my father attending dinners in the late 70s with an actor, who was a family friend of his at-the-time girlfriend. My father mentioned how they would never eat if a photographer was around to protect his image, and this feels almost reminiscent of that.

[@maakkz]

Ooh good one! And the time he did eat on the show he was with his son so he let his guard down. Alright this is canon for me now

[@SavageBunnyGetMoney]

James Gandolfini clearly wasnt gonna follow that rule I personally think that Food actually connects to the viewer like wow now I need to eat Steak too

[@racquelmacaraeg820]

He is so humble and underrated and a brilliant actor. I couldnt fathom any other actor that can play Tommy Shelby the way Cillian did. This show is a treasure.

[@hart-books]

The entire cast, from primary to secondary characters and beyond, were top rate fantastic. Everyone knew the assignment. One of the best shows of all time.

[@ronparsons463]

Cillian is a legend.Such strong powerful acting from episode one season one.My family's favourite series of all time.

he's smiling a lot here, i love it ~ such a good interview and he enjoys it as well

[@yojitkapoor8489]

i didnt know tommy shelby was such a great actor as well, he plays the role of cillian murphy to perfection

[@jodidavis6595]

Two of the greatest and criminally underrated actors. Cillian and Tom Hardy. Screw the awards shows. We all know who the greats are

[@ISEEKSPACE]

I've never sat through a whole series on a subject I've never had any real interest about, and I was like, well, I'm a fan of Cillian Murphy, so I sat through the first episode of the show and was absolutely hooked. Saw the entire series right up until a few days ago and it was brilliant! Absolutely brilliant.
