If Tommy wasn't likeable on at least some level, then nobody would care whether he "won" or whatever you want to call it
and the show would no longer exist let alone be as popular as it is

I love the programme but all though I'm a bit mutton these days I do find that they mumble quite a lot.

I think PD makes a good point about the best series needing likeable characters. The Wire - Bubbs/Omar, The Sopranos - Pauly/Uncle Jr, Breaking Bad - Saul/Jesse

Oh for god's sake PD, it's a TV programme, do you level that critique against everything you watch ?
Can't watch Sci Fi in case the poor little Martian gets zapped ?
Are you a genuine tree hugger ?

Wasn't counting mate, but a couple, not to mention faces cut to ribbons.
Point is someone below said that the character Tommy is likeable in retort to my previous post, but he's not, he's vile, although he is slightly more humane than his scum brothers in fairness.

Re: Peaky Blinders

how many times have the peaky blinders actually blinded anyone with their peaks?
not very many at all
which is still more than they ever likely did in real life apparently

''I love Tommy Shelby, great heroic character that beats people up''
Blinding people with razors is beating them up?

Does it have lots of men in suits and hats walking in slow motion while carrying big guns to modern music?

I like it but it's not at the level of some of the American stuff, and has no likeable characters. A vile family, hopefully someone will cut their eyes out in this series.

Not bad, but the accents are shite.

It's watchable but predictable and last series was the worst so far.
