no needs to apologize. i doubt i will ever feel compelled to read it again. maybe pass it along to someone else who might enjoy it. i'm glad you enjoyed it.

as to the peaky blinds sitchu, i tried to watch it once, but was not in a state of mind where it could hold my attention. people whose (who's? [i can never remember the correct form here]) opinions i trust on matters like this seem to enjoy it, so i say why not give it a go and see if you like it?

Daris don't let the name stop you. Bubbles nagged me about watching peaky blinders for a while before i finally got around to it. "Peaky Blinders?" I thought. "What kind of stupid crap is Peaky Blinders?"

It's phenomenal. I'm putting all my eggs into the peaky blinders basket.

I will advise, however, that although it's an English language show, the accents are pretty thick, and watching it with subtitles really helped me out. Just a little advisement from dlew here.

peaky blinders sounds exactly like the type of show that would feature a bunch of pretty thick english accents
my goodness, you guys are worse than the paid amazon product reviewers

go watch reality tv and let the adults help daris find a new past-time activity.

DQ12 · « **Reply #58 on:** September 19, 2016, 01:24:27 PM »

yeah daris. just watch whatever bravo show clams is ironically watching this week. i'm sure that'll be a gas.

pissclams · « **Reply #59 on:** September 19, 2016, 01:38:17 PM »

wait daris- you seem to be cut of a finer cloth. i think i have just the tv show for your discriminating tastes. it's called peaky blinders. some describe it as the grey poupon of television shows, just don't mind the heavy english accents and you'll be fine.

accents

Look at these goof balls.

I mean it has Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy. It should be great, but after 5 minutes I was so bored I turned it off.

I dislike this guy for some reason. I think it was the batman movies that did it.

ok. I'm going to narrow it to five and we can debate merits of each. where? HERE! when? TOMORROW!

peaky blinders is like the best elements of Downton Abbey + the Godfather + Snatch, all rolled into one

pissclams · « **Reply #68 on:** September 19, 2016, 04:34:44 PM »

oh ya downtown abbey, but only the best elements

Well I've been watching Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey on Netflix and I'm about 4 episodes in. It's pretty good. Hosted by Neil DeGrasse Tyson. It has some weird cartoon parts that are kind of weird but I'm interested in space and stuff so I like it. And it really dumbs everything down for people who are pretty dumb in science-y stuff like me. Just something for you to consider, if it doesn't make the top 5 that's fine, I know it's not really a sitcom type of show but just keep an open mind is what I'm saying.

Asteriskhead · « **Reply #70 on:** September 19, 2016, 10:31:56 PM »

i started watching cosmos a few weeks ago and really enjoy it too. the graphics (is this proper terminology for computer generated space scenery in a tv show?) are p great. also enjoy ndt a lot too.

pissclams · « **Reply #71 on:** September 19, 2016, 10:39:35 PM »

anything with ngt is guaranteed to be great

_33 · « **Reply #72 on:** September 20, 2016, 11:54:06 AM »

What time did RD say he was going to reveal his top 5? The suspense is killing me. If Peeky Blinders makes it in but one of mine doesn't I'm going to lose it.

kim carnes · « **Reply #73 on:** September 20, 2016, 11:56:05 AM »

Peaky Blinders is such a gross name for a show

MidnightOil82 · « **Reply #74 on:** September 20, 2016, 03:58:37 PM »

If you liked the movie "the Imitation Game' - check out The Bletchly Circle - same WWII timeline.
Also, same era, would recommend another British who-done-it drama series called Foyles War. Both are on Netflix.

Not sure if anyone mentioned Mad Men.

Penny Dreadfull was, uh, different, - unfortunately they seemed to quickly end the series in year 3.

Dexter. Ray Donovan.

Power (Starz), just about done with season 3. (Like Peaky Blinders fast-forwarded to 2016 NYC setting?).
