I really didn't think it would be up to much as it's a BBC drama and I usually find them conceted and boring but a friend had seen most of it and made me watch it from the beginning with her and its bloody epic.
Very much worth putting the time into binge watching this one OP |

Somewhere off the edge of the map... 'ere there be monsters |
Go for it. Great cast. Great soundtrack. Great set and constume production. Great setting... although I might be slightly biased as was born in Brumland, and am of Irish heritage.  |

"Do you like gangster type films? If so then you'll like it.
Not that you have to like them to enjoy it but that's kind of the flavour We do 
There's your answer then  "

"Give the first couple of episodes a go and see if you like it.
Tom Hardy pops up in season 2 and his character is fuckin' biblical mate "
I once carried out my own personal form of stigmata on an Italian.
Yeah it’s well worth the watch OP, I saw it on Netflix for months and didn’t think it would be up to much, the first episode had me hooked. |

You do realise that little / no of the show is filmed in “brum land”. But accept it is set there.
Mainly filmed Liverpool & Manchester, actually filming in the former last week on/near Canning St.
I find the aunt (forget her name) and her sometimes brummie / sometimes scouse accent amusing |

It is excellent. Top quality writing, acting and production. The themes are a little repetitive but that's true of most long running series. Also has some of the strongest female characters on recent television. |

Apologies, wasn’t meant to come across that way.
More a case of I don’t believe most IS filmed in Black Country, you do. We are clearly not going to change one another’s minds, so best not clog this forum with a debate on the subject.
Again apologies if I am coming across too forward / angry / mardy, not my intention |

Yeah... I talked about where the show is set, not where it was filmed.  |

Oooooo yes it is! Not long started watching it myself. Just about to go into season 1 episode 5 and loving it already. Very complex, richly layered-a joy |

What? It's a must see! I tend not to watch a series if I don't watch the first episode but I did binge watch this an wasn't disappointed. I am now eagerly awaiting the new series. |

“To realise 1919 Birmingham was always going to be a massive challenge. The Birmingham we needed to recreate, due to a combination of the war and town planners, doesn’t exist anymore. We decided that Yorkshire was the best place to base the drama ‘Peaky Blinders’. A combination of fantastic period locations, great crew and support from Screen Yorkshire and the local council. Most of our filming was in Leeds and supplemented by shooting a couple of key locations in Liverpool and Birmingham.”
Frith Tiplady, Executive Producer, Tiger Aspect Productions
It is filmed out of studios in Leeds, with key locations in other places inc. Birmingham. I don’t know how else to tell people this, it is not (mainly) filmed in brum. Not quite sure how I can be any clearer.

"I struggled a bit after season 2! However still would recommend"
A it of people say it drops off after season 2 and while agree with that for season 3, I think it really picks up well again in season 4 |

I would try to power through as it's only 6 episodes and there are some important plot points that carry over to the next season. It's up to you though |
