So I gave in and bought S.2 just to watch Tom Hardy. I was SO disappointed to see he was only in 2-3 episodes and just for 10 minutes. Does anyone have insider info where they know about how much Tom Hardy we get in future seasons?

Late to the party as well, just finished S2. Not into gangsters etc but I wasn't bored and I actually loved it. I didn't even recognize Tom Hardy at first, just thought the Jewish leader's good looking. I think his role will be bigger since his name pops up when I read about Peaky Blinders but I try to avoid details re: season 3 & 4 since I don't want spoilers.

just finished S3 and he's only in 2 episodes, but as usual very great scenes!

I absolutely love Tom Hardy's acting. He can be good looking when required, but what I really like about him is he a real actor and will ugly himself up for a role. I admire that he doesn't fall back on his looks, kind of like Leo DiCaprio. Like in Peaky Blinders he actually gave himself some kind of psoriasis look on his facial skin. If you noticed, it was flaky and red. I LOVE ACTORS LIKE THAT. And I love the fact that his teeth are natural and not perfect. Shallow people have made fun of this but, again, it just shows how good of an actor he is. He does alot of period pieces, and if he had a fake, pearly white set, it wouldn't look real. Just like how Shia LeBoeuf pulled a bottom front tooth out for his role in Fury. That's dedication!

agree! not sure if you watched til season 4 but it may have some explanation on his (alfie's) skin and yeah all his monologues/scenes in Peaky Blinders even with spit coming out while he's talking - such a treat to watch!

Tom Hardy's acting is superb for this show. He seams to excel in period roles like these as in Taboo another of his great roles as the lead character. And for period shows check out Black Sails.

Well I have just binge watched season 4. Season 5 is underway but I will wait to see it on Netflix when the season is finished. I am not sure if Alfie will be back next season; that is still up in the air. I hope so because he is such a good character. I don't want to say more since many in this thread may not have watched this far yet. Lots of interesting twists in the plot, keeps you guessing, surprises you, and has satisfying story arcs.

Ok I won't spoil Alfie for you......BIG PLOT FOR ALFIE.....sorry had to say something! LOL! Sorry!

Cool. I noticed the shot hit him high in the cheekbone. It could have glanced enough to avoid penetrating the brain. Would have caused a severe concussion of course, but be survived.

Alfie is one duplicitous, slippery dick. And given the number of times and ways he has already betrayed someone he says he considers a friend, he deserves to die. But he is a good character, and Hardy is a great actor, and really adds a lot to the show. So when I saw where the shot hit him, and Tommy didn't perform a coup de gras to make sure, I started thinking Alfie will be quite possibly be back.

That will make a second case of a death which wasn't really a death. First Tommy fooled everyone, including the audience concerning Arthur's death. And now Alfie is shot in the head, presumably toast. But not so fast....

Oh...stupid me! I was assuming that you haven't seen Alfie get shot in the...head/face already. I never did consider the fact that you had seen that. I thought you were behind; maybe binge watching. But you know. That was the 'spoiler' LOL! So nevermind 😆

I watched this TV show (4 seasons). It's not bad, but it's not my style. I don't like old times, the times this TV show is shot and I'm not much interested in such people this TV show represents, but it's not bad, just it was a bit boring for me. I gave it average score - 5.

Too bad for you. Why you wasted your time to tell strangers about your personal taste, I don't understand. Nobody aside from your mom will care what you like or don't like....meh.

Oh, wow what a toxic comment. This is forum where people express their opinions, tastes or whatever they want about TV shows. Someone said (actually it was you) that it was boring (oops, you just told some strangers about your personal opinion) and I just responded. Did I offend you by telling that I didn't like it? By your logic, we strangers also do not care what you think about this or that TV show, so why don't you talk about it to your mom instead of sitting here and lecturing people? And why are you telling a stranger what was too bad for them or not? Why are you even interested if some strangers "wasted" their time telling others about their personal taste? Who the hell are you to tell me what to do and what not?

Looks like someone's a bit triggered. Getting triggered, raging and being defensive leaves you open to making mistakes and saying stupid things. So AFTER YOU CALM DOWN, as I don't want to hear from a triggered lunatic, you can point out where, in this thread, I said Peaky Blinders is boring.....because it's anything but. Actually, the plot MAY be boring to people with a low intelligence level, as people like that need alot of bright colours and fast movement. Also. Please refrain from using the word 'toxic'. That is an SJW term for playdough people who can't handle constructive criticism. And I don't have the patience to deal with SJW's and their 'fluidity'. 🙄

I have to agree with you. There was nothing in your comment to trigger such a personal reaction. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I still believe that. I'm not down with the group think/group conformity culture where independent, individuals with their own opinions are ridiculed because they don't see things like others in a larger group.

Also some people behave almost as though their favorite TV show is like their regional professional sports team; they defend them and jeer at fans of other teams. But I don't view things that way. It doesn't bother me or threaten me if someone else doesn't like the same show I like. Perhaps I might wish they liked it so we could talk about it or watch it together, if it were someone I knew personally, but I don't fault them for not liking it. Of course, if they made insulting remarks about the show or the actors involved, I might debate them, provided the conversation didn't get heated. But I still insist that we are all entitled to our opinions, and free to speak our minds. I enjoy talking with people who hold various points of view on subjects, not just those who see things as I do. Most of the time we can disagree on issues and remain friendly, and I enjoy that.

I read your comment over again and I see nothing offensive, insulting, or otherwise combative; you just offered your opinion on the show-which is exactly why people post their comments in this forum.

Couch, I think you over-reacted a bit there. I don't think she (or he) was out of line.
