“PEAKY BLINDERS”
…………………..I just finished watching the 6th and last series of……”PEAKY BLINDERS”….. on NETFLIX…….This series is by far one of the best things I have ever EVER scene. The cast headed by the incredible Cillian Murphy is incredible. There are so many stars that come and go through the 6 part series that there are two many to list. The principle cast is perfection. I do however have to give a special mention to Helen McCrory. She is an actress who plays Aunt Pol….Simply brilliant. I was saddened to learn after I finished watching the series that she passed away in 2021 of breast cancer at the age of 52. She was married to another brilliant actor Damian Lewis of the very successful “Millions” series among many other roles. I first saw Hellen McCrory in the movie “The Queen”…..She played Prime Minister Tony Blair’s wife…Since then I have scene her in many things….always brilliant…. This talented actress will be missed….gone too soon….I don’t know if this show has won any awards, and if they haven’t it’s a great injustice. It is that spectacular. It took me a while to start watching it, I was late to the Peaky Blinders party, but when I did I binged until I saw all 6 series. Now that it’s over I feel at a loss. I became so involved with the characters, and I miss them. It’s the same feeling I get after reading a good epic novel…..I can’t recommend this series highly enough…..but it comes with a warning…..This is a very gruesome, gory story and not for the light hearted…….but I loved every second of it!!!!
