 Piki Blinders season one review. Hey, what's up guys, it's Josh here. Today I want to do a little review on Piki Blinders season one now. I've watched season one and two right now. It's basically like an old 1919 classic mob type story. It's right after I think World War one and most of the Piki Blinders, the men are fresh out of the war and they're a little jagged, really rough, kind of have some PTSD and they're basically like a street gang and I think they offer protection, things like that. They're basically just a lower level street gang climbing the ranks. Mixing up with that, you have Sam Neal which is, I think he's like Irish or something. He is basically like a high up detective that got involved in the situation and then kind of personally gets involved with Tommy who's like the lead Piki Blinder and he kind of jumps in between. He's a full-on villain of the season too. He's kind of in the background to like, sometimes he even does deals with the Piki Blinders. He's not even like a full-on villain really in this one, at least not like 100% of the time and then he also has this informant called Grace and Tommy's like the lead Piki Blinder and Grace. They're kind of slowly flirting. You could kind of tell that there's something gonna happen there but Grace is an informant for Sam Neal so there's kind of like this really big anxiety the whole season because you really like Tommy and you really like Grace but Tommy doesn't take any shit and Grace is an informant so it's just like you're gonna need a lot of episodes for them to figure that out and for them to get over it and to get together because at least for me that's what I really wanted to see here so that's basically the basic synopsis. So let's jump into the prose that I had with this season. The prose is that it's the start of an epic series. I've just like pretty much everything about this show. The cast is very good. The recreation of the time is very good. It's actually enjoyable watching a show that's kind of like everybody's like serious and gritty and like doesn't wanna overindulge. They're just like really rough all the time. I don't know it's just something kind of refreshing to see that there's not a lot of like really rough, aggressive masculine men in like TV nowadays. So it's actually nice that all the characters here are like pretty rough and believable as people would be at the time and to go along with that, they actually have a really strong female characters in here. Like I could think of three right off the bat that are really strong, that are really unique and that fit in perfectly here. So I really like the blend of really, really strong masculine characters, mainly Tommy, he's like the best. And then also the really good blend of female characters too. And they don't feel like you're making one of the women like a superhero like you do nowadays. They fit in perfectly. They have purpose. It's just a really good balance in my opinion. Sam Neal is a really good actor here. He's really actually kind of annoying. Sometimes he actually seems kind of nasty here, but it's cause he's like such a good actor. And I can't believe it's the guy from Jurassic Park here. He's just like such, such a good actor. I liked that it was six episodes. So it's really, really fast. I think I just watched the Lord of the Rings and the Lord of the Rings with like all three movies with the extended cut is like almost like 10 or 11 hours. So this is like five hours. So it's like way less than the Lord of the Rings yet it's a TV show. I just think that the more episodes you have, the more you have to stretch it out. And sometimes the story is just, if you got a good story, don't stretch it out. I want to see just the perfect amount of time. That's what we have here. It's very, very unique. Just the feel and everything. I really, really liked the actors. I really, really liked the time recreation. Probably my favorite interesting thing here is Grace and Tommy. That was like the main thing the whole time. Okay, let's jump into the mixed aspects here. The main mixed aspect is, and I knew this kind of going through, I had anxiety probably the first four or five episodes of this show because you want Tommy and Grace to get together. But you know once you get to episode three and four and Tommy doesn't know that she's an informant that you're gonna need a lot of time for him to find out, for them to kind of like let that pass and then kind of get with her. So it was just kind of like, oh, I want to see them together so much, but you don't see how it could happen because you don't have enough episodes. And same with Sam Neill. Sam Neill's built up so good, but once you get to episode three or four, you're like, you can't finish the show completely once it comes to episode six. And it just gives you this anxiety because like how are they gonna leave it? Are they gonna kill somebody off that you don't want to be killed? Are they gonna finish a storyline too fast and not really get the oomph out of it that they could that they built? They do leave things unresolved and I kind of don't like that, but once you look back at it, it's pretty much the best thing that you could have done. I just didn't like how things were a little bit unresolved, but I think this was just because it's the first season and they were just getting their feet wet. And like I said, I was anxious the first five episodes of this show just because I just didn't see how it was all gonna end decently and it does. All right guys, let's show them in the console ahead of this season. I didn't have too, too many and a lot of it is just because it's the first season. There's not that many big events that happen. Now again, with a show, especially with all the hours that you need to fill, you're not gonna have these big spectacular events like every episode, but you would think maybe there'd be two, three, four big, high-up events. There's mainly two fight scenes, like a group fight scenes that I could think of and they're very, very small scale. Especially once you get to the season two and season two is like, okay, this is exactly what I was thinking for like a bigger scale kind of events, but here it is a little bit small scale. It kind of does cycle through the same characters and same places. Like once you see like one or two episodes, you just basically cycle through these same characters all the way to the end and basically cycle through these areas that you've already seen all the way to the end versus like season two had a lot more scenery that you'd uncover the more that you got along with the season. So it was a little bit in a box. There wasn't that many big elements here, but for how good this show is, it's hard for me to even say that that's a negative because I enjoyed it so much. And really the only other thing I could say about it, it just was a little bit small scale. The only other thing I could say about it was Billy Kimber is a little bit of a weak villain here and he does kind of serve his purpose, but at no point does he pose any kind of a threat. I think in season two, the one of the main villains is a guy named like Savini. And Savini, this is like, yeah, that's exactly how you build up a villain, especially for the Peaky Blinders. He's like vicious. He's rough. You almost think like maybe he is going to beat the Peaky Blinders because he just is like such a powerful presence and all the stuff that he does. Billy Kimber is just kind of like this, this kind of like throwaway guy that kind of gets throwaway type ending. It wasn't that big. And then so it's like, you didn't really have a main villain because Sam Neal, he is a villain, but he kind of isn't, you know, he's kind of half built. And then Billy Kimber is just kind of, he's just Billy Kimber. He's just weird, you know? And it's hard to say. So there isn't one big villain like you had with Savini, which I actually liked. And I'm not going to get into season two, but a little bit of Sam Neal as well. So anyways guys, really, really love this show. It is, you know, a breath of fresh air. It is so unique. If you like something gritty, if you like some really masculine characters, if you want like a really rough, crazy, wild ride, definitely check out Peaky Blinders. I absolutely love it. And I'm just hesitant to jump into season three. And you know what's funny? I Googled the best Peaky Blinders seasons after I watched season two. And the first list that I saw said season two was number one and season three isn't the last. So I'm like, oh, to go from the first to the last, like I don't know if that's how I'll feel, but that's how someone else felt. But anyways guys, let me know if you've checked out this show, let me know if you want to check out this show. I'll be very interested to see what you guys think down below.
