DireWolfSpirit Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I liked Brody mobster too. For me the bad Brando comparisons get it wrong, he looked like he was channeling Sollozzo (the Turk) moreso than the Brando. Anyways once again 6 episodes fealt too short, the show was fun, at any rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad season 5 will be its last. It's running out of steam. The Adrian Brody character didn't work for me -- it started out ok, but got too ridiculous the more we saw him. I did like the Gold guy a lot. Want to see what he and Pol get up to next year. I also loved the last scene and the conclusion. It somehow made so much sense (except for the Roma background, but nevermind). However, I'm didn't feel convinced of historical accuracy at all, considering who Jessie Eden really was -- she's not a fictional character. Just finally got around to finishing S4, and I gotta say I agree with you that the show felt like it was running outta steam. Also agreed that Adrian Brody was really kinda meh. The whole toothpick thing and that Corleone impression was a bit much. Wish they would've made his character unique instead a mash-up of mobster cliches from previous films and TV shows. (If anything this season made me want to revisit Boardwalk Empire.) Aidan "Littlefinger" Gillan as Aberama Gold was a nice yet sadly underused addition to the cast. I got a feeling he and Bonnie will show up next season though, and hopefully he'll have a better wig. Tom Hardy's Alfie Solomons had some of the best lines. Mixed feelings about how he, again, sold out the Shelby's. That beach ending was perfect for his character though. Good luck, Cyril! Michael was fucking useless this season. That whole "twist" on Pol's betrayal was weird. Why wouldn't Pol let Michael in on the plan? This plot point felt like a real contrivance. That third act in S4E6 was weird. So Tommy tells Eden after dinner that he wants to be part of the Communist party again and then goes on "holiday" for three months, has a bout of, um, "delayed PTSD" (?), sends her a letter, and BOOM in the sack as if it's a week later. WTF? So S5 is gonna be the final season? Hopefully the whole communist revolution plot doesn't drag and Agent Double OBE, Thomas Shelby has some interesting adventures before he gets his inevitable comeuppance.

This was kinda planned all along -- 5 seasons. Like was planned for Orphan Black. Five seasons, max, if they could get them. But who knows? Fan service when nobody knows which way to jump, has gotten many an excellent series into shark jumping bad tvlandia. I hope they don't do this with Peaky Blinders.

Zorral Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 From the link it is not said certainly there will be two more seasons after season 5, only that perhaps, it might be possible. I hope not. I think they're going off track already right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let it die young and beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
