TV Series Review: PEAKY BLINDERS (2014) Season 2 AA

Available on Netflix

Must use subtitles

Season 2 of this series is far superior to Season 1. I only hope that the producers create a Season 3. The acting and personalities that you meet are not the usual gang you will find in the upper-sale suburb of a big city . . . and that is the great aspect of the series. IT IS NEW!!

Peaky Blinders is an gangster drama set in the lawless streets of post-war Birmingham, England . . . in the early 1920s. Settings are excellent. Depicts the conditions people lived in during those post WWI times. Not pretty.

It's a lot different from what most of us are used to as a gangster film. A cross between an Edward G Robinson/Humphrey Bogart film of the 1930's and the Sopranos. The best gangster series since The Sopranos.

The story centers on the historic PEAKY BLINDERS gang and their ambitious and highly dangerous charismatic boss Tommy Shelby. He has a personality that you will remember for a long time. The gang comes to the attention of Chief Inspector Chester Campbell, a detective in the sent over from Belfast (in Ireland) where he'd been sent to clean up the city of the IRA.

Gambling, women, fist fights and mayhem with the taste of gentlemen gangsters.

Warren is retired and lives in Florida where he runs a foreign movie program for adults. He subscribes to NETFLIX and uses Rotten Tomatoes as one of the sources for selecting movies to review.

Started watching movies at about eight years old and was strongly influenced by "Fantasia" for it's combination of music and fantasy. He was profoundly impacted in his early teen years by the social content in "I AM A FUGITIVE FROM A CHAIN GANG".

As a kid he used to enter the movie house in the middle of a double feature and leave when the movie reached the part where he came in. Loved serials and was able to see most double features for ten or twenty-five cents.

A graduate of Columbia University and City College of New York (CCNY), he strongly believes that good movies . . . with mature content . . . are a significant supplement to education and insight into the world around us. No egghead, he also believes that "It's A Wonderful Life", "Young Frankenstein", "The Producers", West Side Story", and "Seven Brides For Seven Brothers" are great films.
