benos Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Anyone watched it? I'm really enjoying it. And the soundtrack is killer. I'm just finishing up season 1, and am real excited for Tom Hardy joining joining the show for season 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecmc Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 watched episode 1 last night, it was decent. thought it was a tad bit slow - not too much action. Does it pick up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTDMFR Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Yeah, it picks up after the first episode. Cillian Murphy gives me the willies. Edited December 16, 2015 by FTDMFR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullauto_Shooter Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Excellent series - binged on it earlier in the summer and can't wait for the next season to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cakedog02 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Season 2 is even better. Sometimes Netflix seriously screws up my sleep schedule. Can't wait for season 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DagoRed Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I also love the show. Wife watched it w me. Haven't finished it yet. Tom hardy is a good addition you'll like him Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 In season 1, episode 5... When the cops are busting into the bar to get Thomas, and they timed that with the White Stripe's "Little Cream Soda" - that might have been the best placement of any song in any soundtrack of any show, ever.

Fullauto_Shooter Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Agreed on Season 2 of True Detective - only got through two episodes of season 2 before I quit it. Season 1 rocked hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 In season 1, episode 5... When the cops are busting into the bar to get Thomas, and they timed that with the White Stripe's "Little Cream Soda" - that might have been the best placement of any song in any soundtrack of any show, ever. The above was after watching that episode on amazon (didn't know it was a netflix show then). The when I re-watched the same episode with Candis, at the same point in the show but this time on netflix, the soundtrack was not the White Stripes. (We both commented that the song sounded a little bit like Queens of the Stone Age.) What's up with that? I didn't know a show could have different soundtracks depending on "where" you watched it.

Pat Miles Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Any of you folks watch "Hell On Wheels" on NetFlix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Any of you folks watch "Hell On Wheels" on NetFlix? I really liked it at its beginning, but as the seasons went on it totally fizzled out for me. I was done with it at the end of the last episode of the last (aired) season.

pmd Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I enjoyed this series - I think "Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds" do the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 I'm through S2, E4... Tom Hardy's two appearances so far have been over the top! He is just killing it in everything he's done lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) Was intrigued by Peaky Blinders. Thanks for the recommendation. Will start watching. Any of you folks watch "Hell On Wheels" on NetFlix?Good show with good characters. Watch it. It did enter into formulaic territory in the last aired season, but it is still enjoyable. Merry Christmas folks! Edited December 24, 2015 by Yeti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr1042 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Had a hard time getting through the first episode but if it picks up after, I'm willing to give it another shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterdaws Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I was born and raised in Birmingham so being reacquainted with the accent and local slang was a big part of the enjoyment for me. My dentist is also from Birmingham and has gypsy blood. We started talking about the show and reverted to broad Birmingham accents much to the confusion of her nurses. Though the peeky blinders gang existed the plots are pretty far fetched but fun to watch nevertheless. Back in the early 70's I worked with a guy who was on the fringes of the Birmingham underworld in the 50's and 60's. I remember him telling me that the Peeky blinder (who had long disappeared by that time) not only sewed razor blades in their caps but also in their jacket lapels. Bar fighting often involved grabbing jacket lapels to facilitate a head but - sometimes called a Glaswegian Kiss. Would have been an effective defence I think.
