Yup. I keep thinking it’s all the same!

I'm two episodes into Peaky Blinders. It seems pretty solid so far, but before I invest in 6 or 7 seasons, any suggestions if I should continue it?

And just for a recommendation of an oldie but goodie that I haven't seen mentioned in the thread:

Deadwood.

Of all the HBO shows, I think it had the best character development and equaled the Sopranos in making you relate to bad people. I liked that they tied up all the lose ends with a movie a couple years after HBO and the creators had a falling out.

My wife and I loved Peaky....some seasons are better than others but all and all a solid series.

Absolutely love me some Peaky Blinders...one of my favs! I really enjoy Tom Hardy in it as Alfie.

I'm three episodes into 1923 and I'm enjoying the storyline so far. Developing characters is ongoing. Episode three was the best yet.

I politely disagree. It definitely fell flat, but then I felt like it picked up again. Just one dude's opinion though.

I've tried peaky blinders three times and cannot get past the first two episodes.

My brother and a good friend said the same thing. I get it. It's not for everybody. I was a big fan of Boardwalk Empire too, and not a lot of folks I suggested that to liked it either.

+1. I couldn't get into Peaky Blinders or Boardwalk Empire. Period pieces are harder for me to get into for some reason. I know people love both shows but they're not for me.

I spent a good portion looking into professional certifications.

we stalled out at episode 5...it's just sitting there in our "continue watching" queue...

time-travel and inter-dimensional stuff is just so hard to do well on film. i feel like many directors use it to intentionally try to confuse viewers because they dont really have a compelling story or characters.

That's exactly where we left off too. Agreed on your comment. They have to be careful not to lose the viewer and I couldn't care anymore haha.

Super odd show, I made it through it and was hoping there would have been a season 2. It gets a lot better at the very end and makes total sense. At least watch the ending, it basically can be the ending with out the need of a season 2.

We watched Mammals on Amazon Prime over the weekend. I had pretty low expectations going in but actually thought it was pretty good.

[Murf the Surf]

Finished up SAS Rogue Hero's last night. It was entertaining and from what I've read they based it on the events that took place historically. It's clearly left open for a second season which I'd certainly watch.

Started Jack Ryan, 3 episodes in and I'm enjoying it as is my wife. A good spy story with enough action to keep it moving along.

[Murf the Surf]

1923, so far so good, I'm enjoying it more than 1893 which was excellent.

Absolutely! I enjoyed 1893, but this is better.

Was this already posted? I'm not a big gamer but I've played a few, and "The Last of Us" is one of my all time favorites. Very excited about this show adaptation...
