In between the bowl blowouts today I tried on a new series.
Son Sam's girlfriend was over last night and she was talking about finishing Season One of "Peaky Blinders." Now, she's a doll, pre-med, smart as a whip but a real girly-girl. (No disrespect meant. Susie and I raised rough and tumble boys - now young men.)
I looked up "PB" on IMDB and decided to pounce.
Here's a BBC period drama, with superb production values, set in 1919 England.
The opening episode dealt with:
1. A family run criminal enterprise.
2. The accidental theft of 20 Lewis machine guns earmarked for Libya.
3. Bookmaking and fixing horse races.
4. WWI vets suffering horribly from PTSD.
5. Drinking heavily and smoking opium to quiet the demons.
6. Sam Neill as a rogue Irish cop sent over from Belfast to clean house.
Sign me up, guys. I'm all in.
Please excuse my enthusiasm as I'm pretty new to Netflix. I only joined to keep watching "Longmire" because I love the novels and the series. But "PB" diffused the vomit of watching Oklahoma State, Iowa and Notre Dame auger in at mach speeds today.
