Ah even Peaky Blinders must die. I always admired Cillian Murphy, even before this show. I really liked the whole effect of war on the characters and how it damaged them. That felt really period correct to me and added a whole other depth to the show. I wouldn't mind watching it again. Jamie used to do some hilarious imitations of the characters in mundane situations like making a cup of tea which made me laugh.
Meditation seems a good way to handle everything and it's good to remain positive despite the insanity.

He's one of my favorite actors of his generation. The writing on Peaky is exceptional, that's what drew me in from the get-go. Tom Hardy's character, Alfie Solomon, (along with Tommy Shelby) is some of the best acting I've seen on television. Many of the Blinders' characters remind me of my great-uncles on my father's side. They all lived on the fringes of civilized society—ran moonshine and such during prohibition. There was always an element of danger when they were around. I sensed that even as a small child.
Yeah, meditation has been my savior several times in my life.
Sounds like a really interesting family! Fringe dwellers are always the good stories. My favourite is Jamie's great grandfather - or great great? - who was sent to Western Australia and Fremantle prison for killing his wife. He spent alot of time in solitary but when he got out became WA's first train driver - apparently. The best part of this story is that they didn't hang him because his wife was a nag and thus provoked him.
They were! Most of them mellowed in old age. Wow, that's a wild story about Jamie's ancestor! What different times those were.
