Seabag Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm looking forward to this very muchThe acting in series one was good, I thought. Dark, compelling and with a good smattering of love/violence/drug useI know this second series is even darker, in all areas.

Robert Poste's Child Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Got the lovely Cillian Murphy in, hasn't it? I'm still experiencing afterglow from seeing him at the theatre on Tuesday.

Robert Poste's Child Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Ballyturk. No idea what it all meant but he can certainly do theatre as well as TV and film.

*Bob* Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I did give the opener from series one a go, by good god the accents are atrocious; suspension of disbelief jarred every other line.You can forgive one here and there, maybe in supporting roles.. but when the lead roles can't manage it..Shame. Looked quite good apart from that. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/49811-peaky-blinders-series-ii/#findComment-786539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
???? Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I despartaely want to like this and will persevere but I think it tries a bit too hard Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/49811-peaky-blinders-series-ii/#findComment-786665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Pibe Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Yeah I gave up. It looks great and you get the sense that the story and the acting might be good, but...those...accents....Not quite Charlie Hunnanm in Green St territory, but just as distracting.for the uninitiated...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMBISGl5QkA Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/49811-peaky-blinders-series-ii/#findComment-786696 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Bob* Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 That is dreadful. I think though, on balance, I prefer Cheadle's Oceans's effort - because it sounds like he really really wanted to be convincing but no-one on set had the guts to break the news to him. It doesn't sound like this Charlie bloke even cares!

El Pibe Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I saw Cheadle in the very entertaining The Guard. He couldn't even get an American accent right!!

LadyDeliah Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Apparently the accents are supposed to be authentic for the period. They were researched and are quite different to modern Brummie accents.

*Bob* Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 ha ha! But of course they were. Historical research clearly shows that Brummie accents back then were a mixture of home counties, Liverpool, and generic 'the north'. Utter nonsense.
