In my opinion, if you liked SOA you will like Peaky. It's a very similar show just set in a different era.

    One thing that I've done that has made me enjoy the show even more was turn the captions on. While I can understand 90% of what there saying, I would still miss a word or two every now and then and using captions > rewinding to try to understand or just missing it.

    The last thing is Tom Hardy's character is freaking hilarious. He's a scene stealer every time he's on the screen. I can't wait to start Season 4.
    I had to use subtitles for Season 1 but I think the characters have gotten a little easier to understand in recent seasons haha.

      Netflix has branded "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" a Netflix Original. Heck, it was on Crackle and online for a few years. I know this falls in the "Oh Well" category, just an odd promotional practice in my opinion.

        February 2- I expected it to look a little more noirish, but we'll see how it plays out.

        Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

        Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

          Jim Carrey is in the first episode. But I swear he wasn't the first guest when the show first aired years ago.

          Are there episodes missing?


          edit: Just read up on it. I see Netflix is pushing them into collections, changed the order and removed product placement spots.

            It’s the same thing they did with their Food Network shows like Cutthroat Kitchen and stuff - not whole seasons, but collections of random episodes.

              Thanks for researching this. I watched all of the ones that Crackle produced. I liked the mini-skits with Michael Richards as the Crackle President. In fact, wasn't Michael Richards the first guest?

                The very first guest was Larry David. Which made sense when it first aired and I remember them talking about the show and stuff.

                  We started watching Peaky Blinders. Great cast. Story is interesting so far, but I've never been a huge fan of the super-hero chess player protagonist that can anticipate everyone's motivation, strategy, and move.

                    The next season of a series of unfortunate events comes out in March.

                    It's only Netflix original series I've watched, but takes some getting used to. Last season happened January 2017. I like binge watching, but hate the wait between seasons.

                      I enjoyed the 2004 movie. I thought Jim Carey was a little over the top (granted I never read the books to know if that's how he was supposed to be), but I thought Emily Browning was great as Violet. Is the Netflix series comparable?

                        To me, the Netflix series is way better. It's much more detailed version than the movies. It takes 2 episodes to cover each book. The movie covered just 3 books I believe. Think there's 13 or so books total, so last season had 4 books, this one has 5 books, then final season in 2019 will do the final 4 books.

                          I survived 1922. I kinda have a problem with the animal that is prevalent to the story. The mass amounts of them nearly gave me a heart attack. But I was a trooper and powered through to the end.

                            I agree and I'll go further and say the Netflix series destroys the Carey film.

                              There's small things about movie that we're better, but not alot though.

                              Neil Patrick Harris playing the roles that he has to in this show makes it even better.
