I've never watched this, until today. Now, I'm addicted!
Just started season 2.
If anyone has watched it what do you think?
No spoilers please

No. Watched a very short part of it first time around, and couldn't cope with the type of violence it portrays (and I'm not normally very squeamish). I'm sure it's very good, story and acting wise - but not for me!

Same as Bayleaf, almost, I watched the 1st series, then tried the 2nd but gave up. Not for the violence but it seemed to me that they had nowhere more to go.

I haven't seen the new series yet but seen all the earlier ones.
I think it is one of the best TV series to be produced in many years.

Not seen it but it apparantly bears no relation to the originals Peaky Blinders who were just low life unintelligent street gangs. The trailers I've seen and the odd bit before switching off seems to be quite different to say the least.

Just watched the final episode, very good I think.
Impressed that they managed to keep the interest going through all the series. I really enjoyed it.

That is how I remember it from watching just a little more than the first series. And if memory serves, their origins were in the returnees from WW1 whereas the originals dated from the 19th century. But then it was not supposed to be a history lesson.
