Peaky Blinders is one of the most beloved period crime drama shows of all time. Even several years after its finale, the interest in the show is as high as ever, with Netflix planning a sequel film.
However, BBC One created the perfect replacement for Peaky Blinders with Dope Girls. The series comes with a big difference from Steven Knight's drama, as it features a women-led cast. The historical period drama series debuted earlier this year on BBC One, and, following its debut on Hulu on Jul. 29, Dope Girls features an exciting Rotten Tomatoes score: 88%.
Until its U.S. release, Dope Girls featured a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score out of seven reviews. Following its debut on Hulu, the score dropped slightly to a still-fantastic 88% after a negative review. So far, there are not enough opinions from the audience for a score on the Popcornmeter.
Say hello to your newest obsession; it’s certainly mine.

Stars: Jena Malone, Danny Huston, Janet Suzman, Ian Pirie, Eilidh Fisher, Steffan Cennydd, Thoren Ferguson, Alexandra Lewis | Written by Christopher Smith, Laurie Cook | Directed by Chris Smith
How would the modern world respond if a fallen angel walked among us? Would science attempt to rationalise it, while religion clung tighter to dogma or would both implode under the weight of something truly unexplainable? These are the philosophical and theological underpinnings that Chris Smith’s Consecration grapples with, sometimes subtly, sometimes overtly, in what is arguably his most thematically ambitious film since Black Death.
Jena Malone stars as Grace, a determined and emotionally guarded ophthalmologist who is pulled into the cloistered world of Mount Saviour convent in the Scottish Highlands after the suspicious death of her brother, a Catholic priest. Her refusal to accept the official ruling of suicide propels her into a quietly escalating mystery, one cloaked in whispers of miracles,...

Grace, an ophthalmologist’s assistant, exists in a world of measurable science and observable truths. Her life is upended by a call informing her that her brother, a priest, has died violently at a remote convent on Scotland’s Isle of Skye.
The official report is a murder-suicide. Grace’s immediate rejection of this fact is absolute; her brother was a man of deep faith, incapable of such an act. This disbelief propels her across a cultural and spiritual threshold.
She leaves the secular logic of her life behind to enter an isolated enclave of fervent Catholicism, a place where faith and horror are intertwined. Her quest for answers pits the modern, rational mind against an ancient, dogmatic institution.
The Ominous Convent and Its Keepers
The Mount Saviour Convent is a place of stark contrasts. Its oppressive stone walls are set against the wild, untamed beauty of the Scottish highlands,...

Purest hokum, of course, but what hokum! Real pride has gone into crafting this set of shocks, and it’s very well acted in beautiful locations
This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a wimple. In this well-crafted horror movie, a young woman called Grace (Jena Malone) finds herself up against a bunch of nuns who may or may not be trying to do something extremely dodgy with an unknown relic, and as with last year’s Omen prequel, there’s a nice line in casting here from the Ladybird Book of Horror Nuns. There’s dotty young nun who pops up going “peekaboo” (Eilidh Fisher), an arrogant mother superior (Janet Suzman), a hardliner weapon-of-Christ sort (Jolade Obasola), and the rather rarer spooky nun with one eye hidden behind an ominous white bandage (Alexandra Lewis). Their acting is uniformly excellent, as is that from Danny Huston,...

Nicola Walker (The Split) and Jemaine Clement (What We Do in the Shadows) will lead a new, six-part Disney+ original series, Alice and Steve (working title).
From the award-winning Clerkenwell Films (Baby Reindeer), Alice and Steve follows lifelong best friends who see their world implode when the middle-aged Steve starts dating Alice’s 26-year-old daughter, Izzy (Yali Topol Margalith). “Although both are no strangers to chaos and dubious decision-making, their once rock-solid friendship is turned upside down and tested to its limits — threatening their families, futures and everything in between,” a plot synopsis reads.
Joel Fry (Cruella) also stars as Alice’s husband Daniel, with Tyrese Eaton-Dyce (Sherwood) cast as her son Dom and Olivier-award-winning Marcia Warren (The Crown) starring as Alice’s mother, Val. Rounding out the cast are Eilidh Fisher (Dope Girls) and Ebony Aboagye. Filming has commenced in London.

Ahead of the European premiere of his psychologically disturbing supernatural thriller, Consecration, at FrightFest Glasgow 2023, director Chris Smith talks about the supernatural side of religion, filming in Scotland, and his encounter with a pregnant sheep.
Chris Smith directing Consecration
Another FrightFest, another Chris Smith movie! Our destinies seem intertwined. Why has FrightFest always been a key component to your release strategy?
I feel very fortunate to have been brought into the FrightFest family. I was very lucky that my first film, Creep, was included and then I got very lucky with the dates of release of my subsequent films. Severance was shown the night before the festival started in 2006 and then of course there was the spectacular Premier for Triangle at the Empire Leicester Square. FrightFest has also shown Black Death and Detour. They didn’t bother with Get Santa but that’s their loss. FrightFest is the best audience for any director.
