I really like Tom Hardy in this role; he's absolutely excellent - and that's not to take a single thing away from Murphy, who is excellent also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMMensaMind 459 Posted December 22, 2017 Adrian Brody in the house. He's great too. He does a great job in this, though it's funny that a guy like that gets to play a badass, particularly after his stint in The Pianist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
parrot 789 Posted December 22, 2017 He's great too. He does a great job in this, though it's funny that a guy like that gets to play a badass, particularly after his stint in The Pianist. True. I had the same thought about Murphy coming into the show though. He's played some pretty limp-wristed parts in the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
parrot 789 Posted December 22, 2017 Speaking of Hardy, I see where they just announced that there's going to be a second season of Taboo. It's written by the creator of Peaky Blinders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted December 22, 2017 They're both great. I really like Tom Hardy in this role; he's absolutely excellent - and that's not to take a single thing away from Murphy, who is excellent also. My only gripe with Hardy on this show, and its minor because I view him as one of the most talented actors around right now, is that he falls into his Bane voice too often as Alfie Solomons. He's great too. He does a great job in this, though it's funny that a guy like that gets to play a badass, particularly after his stint in The Pianist. Didn't like Brody at all in this. He does not convince me as feared Italian mob. Not sure if its on him or the writers True. I had the same thought about Murphy coming into the show though. He's played some pretty limp-wristed parts in the past. Murphy had some bad ass moments in 28 days later. He's also much more of a mental bad ass in this.

WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted December 22, 2017 Speaking of Hardy, I see where they just announced that there's going to be a second season of Taboo. It's written by the creator of Peaky Blinders. yes, I think this has been expected since season 1 ended. That was a really well done show. I believe a creation of Hardy and his father together and directed by Ridley Scott. edit: I guess Steven Knight is involved in both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the stuff I read said Hardy ended up bankrolling a good part of Season 1 himself so season 2 was up in the air. Sounds like he found some backers though.

WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted December 23, 2017 Also, in regard to Hardy, I know it sometimes lessens truely good actors but I sort of wish he would get involved in a franchise. Maybe not as a marvel superhero but just something good where you know, he could be seen as the next _________. Bond for example. I know there is a Mad Max sequel but mehhhhh.

SUXBNME 1,340 Posted December 29, 2017 Been on vacation this week and finally decided to give Peaky Blinders a fair shot... After stating awake till 5:00 am twice, and having it permeate my dreams, I've decided that this one of the best written shows / series that I've ever seen. Just finished it a few minutes ago. Focking wow. I don't like the casting of Brody, but mebbe that's because I can't stand him. Alfie is the season 4 mvp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
parrot 789 Posted December 29, 2017 Boy did I just fock up. Somehow went from episode 3 to the finale and watched 3/4 of the finale before realizing wtf happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nzoner 936 Posted December 29, 2017 Didn't like Brody at all in this. He does not convince me as feared Italian mob. Not sure if its on him or the writers Only through episode 2 of season 4 but I thought the bullet scene in Tommy's office was quite good.When he knocked over the one called John and flicked it to Tommy,I thought oh sh!t Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
parrot 789 Posted December 29, 2017 Didn't like Brody at all in this. He does not convince me as feared Italian mob. Not sure if its on him or the writers Agreed. Little column A, little column B. He's pretty over the top but the writing is too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TD Ryan2 314 Posted December 29, 2017 Im 3 episodes into S4. Love the show. If Im gonna be critical? This seems a little too next villain up with Brodys Vito Corrleone tribute... and IMO, thats what this is. Alfie goes down as an all time great character. An instant classic and unique on its own. Tommy Shelby cant be overlooked or underrated either. Hes right up there with Tony Soprano - great, great character. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted December 30, 2017 Agreed. Little column A, little column B.

WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted December 30, 2017 Tommy Shelby cant be overlooked or underrated either. - great, great character. 100%. Great acting by Murphy. Probably agree on the next villian up concept but the Shelby's are villians themselves. Arthur is a pretty focking good character to... someone said alfie stole the season.

naomi 343 Posted December 30, 2017 It's funny to me as a woman 'figuring out' why guys have man crushes on Tom Hardy. All I've got is he is ruggedly handsome, and he tends to play inward and outwardly strong characters. He was great in Dunkirk, plays the opposite (in a way) of Cillian Murphy's character in that.

All I've got is he is ruggedly handsome, and he tends to play inward and outwardly strong characters. He was great in Dunkirk, plays the opposite (in a way) of Cillian Murphy's character in that. don't ruin it for me as ive been waiting for a good time to watch that. My man crush on Hardy is best explained as the fact that I tend to get attached to actors/musical groups/performers/athletes I feel I discovered before they became "mainstream". I've seen just about everything he has done since RocknRolla. And I even remember him being in Blackhawk Down, although it took a while for me to remember that one. I think he is an extremely talented actor and underrated. For example, I am actually a Tom Cruise fan (you wouldnt think so) but Tom Hardy is a much better raw actor than Cruise. Ruggedly handsome? I guess. although I don't think he's you're typical handsome looking actor and Im not afraid to admit a dude is good looking. He's also a sneakily funny guy and extremely creative.

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted January 25, 2018 Just binged season one. Great focking show. Tommy Shelby has some brass balls. And the actor who plays him is great. I also oddly love the use of white stripes music in the show. Wouldnt have thought it would work, but it does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

supermike80 1,287 Posted January 31, 2018 Really liked this show a lot. I would say Arthur is my favorite character.... Alfie was #2..Tom Hardy is just a great character. I feel Brody overacted his character a bit..but overall he was OK too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
