There's more than meets the eye....
If you're really watching.
In addition to the amazing actors, plot, dialogue there's a whole layer of artistry to be admired. The heartbreaking arc the horse's body takes upon being shot. The accuracy of the sets (no English wall switches or cords in the "American" living room). The excellent costumes; I've seen that shade of green nightgown from that era in an attic.
The production values are astounding.

What an amazing start to the new season. Loved it and it is now usurping The Godfather for me.. Just incredible performances and cinematography... Can't wait until the next episode...
Enjoyed the episode but it felt way too slow for a six episode season. Camera work with the wide angles, the slow motion moments with the musical presence just felt a bit weird and too over the top. Not the greatest premiere.
Don't know what the 10/10 ratings are on about, it's a good episode but it seems more concerned about how it looks rather than content.
This episode lacks the beauty and intelligence that we have all come to associate with Peaky Blinders. The only way such a weak episode is forgivable is if it is laying the groundwork for an amazing season. I'm crossing my fingers that this is the case!
The artsy filming that included slow motion walking, and random angles only works if it is used to exchange a scene; however, I feel these choices were To distract the viewer from the lack of great content. This isn't usually the case for Peaky Blinders. I'm hoping that as the season goes on, this beginning episode is a fluke or there were seeds planted that just need time to grow.
Either way, I have faith in this show and know that even their worst episodes are better than most shows could ever hope for!!!!
