Speaking of Peaky Blinders and heavy accents. Holy crap, sometimes I literally cannot understand what they said. A bit annoying at times but I guess it gives it more of a sense of "reality".....captions...

I've heard of this show. Is it worth watching?

Tom Hardy is definitely on the rise. Did you catch him in MAD MAX remake?

I think so. It is good but like I said, the accents are very heavy.

Someone suggested it to wife, who I came across trying to get episode 1 on her iPad. She liked the first 2 so we watched 3 together. Never picked her to have ANY interest in it, but now it's something we can do together.

Ive watched 3 out of the first 4. Pretty good thus far. Plan on watching 4 sometime this week.

UncleWede · 01-30-2017, 02:37 PM

Wife came in with her little iPad: "Episode 4 is on the web now"

"No, we will wait until it is available on a normal-sized screen with sound and closed-captioning that appears with the person speaking, not once it switches to another"

Really good movie......but Hardy was merely ok, in my opinion. He's a lot better in Peaky Blinders.

They didn't remake the original, did they? I always liked the first one so much better than the later ones, before they got real money and all the glammy special effects and characters.

Liking this series, and haven't needed to resort to subtitles, but I think drinking lots of scotch must help somehow.

His best work IMO is Bronson, he was incredible in that role.

Wow... Can't believe the Season Finale is next week!!! I enjoyed the show and hope it got the views for a season 2. They can expand on the Nootka location and the battle for it and the Americans.

And damn did they torture the shit out of Tom on this last episode.

But he got what he wanted in the end.

"I have a use for you"

That was pretty sad about Winter...

How they gonna kill that poor girl (literally) like that, trying to frame James? I hope James goes Medieval on that sorry pos.
Isn't funny how they program the king as a Fat slob. Ha!

I like how Hardy's character knows his limits. Like when he told Winter she should leave because he knew what he was capable of in his drunken state.

The half-sister is something else.

The filth of London (and life in general) continues to amaze me.
