OK, seems my Q in the Random Thoughts thread had gotten some traction so here we go to BS around some more during the down times!
Prologue: although I'm a late convert to streaming and cord-cutting, I luv it this way for many reasons such as diversity and variety plus catching up with loads of good to great (in the eyes of the beholder) contents which I had missed in the past. Burt most importantly, I can mostly watch what I want and when I want without DVR and such restrictions.
If you are replying, please also note in here as to what the source of your recommendation is whether streaming, cable, OTA, satellite, whatevs! Also try to keep it to recently viewed or currently viewing, not something you liked from the 1970's (tongue in cheek!). Also try to write up a bit about it without giving away plot lines, just a premise of the show should do.
I'll go first:
Currently watching Peaky Blinders on Netflix. I have come to luv this show and cant stop binging on it. It's a drama about a gangster family of downtrodden quasi gypsies from Birmingham, England in the era just after WWI. I find the story telling to be tantalizing, the acting to be great (you will recognize some of the actors if you watch Brit shows even from GoT) and the production quality to be quite high like something HBO would do, which is no surprise because it's BBC & Netflix concocting this show. The series ran from 2013 to 2016, so 4 season but season 5 should be readied at some point in this 2019.
I don't think that there are too many squeamish folks on here but be fore warned that the show has lots of violence and some nudity! Also, the local dialects and the thickish Brummie, Cockney and Irish accents may be a bit hard to understand for some of you natives
