Peaky Blinders (2013)
What happened to season 5?!
Listen guys, I appreciate the contrast between the old setting and the modern styling, but come ooooon!
Season 5 just seems to have a complete lack of direction and content. It's like I'm constantly watching one movie trailer after another.
All the characters seem to have lost their substance. Everyone is so overdramatic. They're all doing stupid things that make no sense and sometimes look so unbecoming of their character.
Almost every scene is so dragged on to a point that they become boring. By the end of an episode I sometimes found if difficult to remember what it was about.
Again, I have nothing against using modern styling and music to contrast the series' grey, gritty, and dirty time period, but it's so overused in season 5 that it's difficult to stay emersed and follow the story. It all feels so diluted now, so cheesy. Too bad.
