Now, the second part of my Peaky Blinders review. Read the first part here. Not a review persay but you get the gist. I can’t remember where I left off or the other things I have to say but I have to mention again that I really really love Curly.

Despite being amidst all that madness, he still had some innocence about him and his inner child certainly never died. Like when he kept mentioning music during Thomas’s date with Jessie and when he told Thomas he didn’t think what they called flour was real flour. I wished I saw him more.

The most beautiful thing about Peaky Blinders for me is the clear depiction of the weakness of the Shelby family. As formidable as the were, we could see what they were each struggling with. I think it’s a story that’s complete in itself. I especially like how the characters are distinct and relatable. It’s amazing.

Let me also add that I think Cillian Murphy is an amazing actor. I mean, he killed that role despite being a shy introvert in person. He’s not even on Instagram. I would know because I stalked him. I hope Oswald is destroyed in the end. I hate his guts. I don’t like Gina too (obnoxious goat). I don’t like Michael either. He thinks he’s smarter than he really is (dumb egg).

I really don’t like how Bonnie Gold died. He was a cutie and oh Aberama the lover boy. I don’t like that he died too. Godddd. How dare I forget Ada’s baby daddy; Ben Younger? He’s an absolute cutieeee. It’s how particular Thomas is about children for me. A compassionate murderer. Lol.

I think I’d watch the whole series again. I love it that much even though I don’t like the violent and fight scenes. Ohhhh yeahh, Alfie didn’t die. Lol. That man is a clown.

Personal sentiments aside, Peaky Blinders is a series packed with so much emotion. It also explores the intricacies of the human mind and how much mental health issues have been normalised. It depicts the story of the common man and the powerful man. Even the Nigerian common man with a thirst for power/wealth will find the character of Thomas relatable. It shows wealth is more than possessions and how possessions is wealth. Every character in the series had a life of their own. It shows how there are usually political agendas inside political agendas and how big fishes swallow small fishes. It’s a movie that shows what the statement “survival of the fittest” really means. It’s a movie that gets you thinking.

I don’t know why whoever wrote the story wrote it but I don’t think it was primarily for entertainment. I wasn’t entertained when I watched it, I was blown away. I mean, how do you capture abstractness this vividly? How? I’m not even a movie person so maybe it’s still sentiment speaking but nah, I think Peaky Blinders is worth the hype. There’s so much to say about it.
