Peaky Blinders is about an Irish mob family that owns at least one speak easy and robs cargo shipments. It also includes mob wars between families.

From IMBD.com "A gangster family epic set in 1900s England, centering on a gang who sew razor blades in the peaks of their caps, and their fierce boss Tommy Shelby."

Watched "Gifted" yesterday. It's #1 on Prime but I watched it on Roku.

Good but I wouldn't say great.
Thank you wrosie. I keep getting pressure to watch The Wire (my first time), so looks like I will be checking it out.

I heard that a lot too. I watched the first episode a while back, but never got a chance to keep watching.
"The Wire" was on around the same time as the "Sopranos" and me and a friend both thought it was better. Except for the season McNulty got boat duty.
"Stone Cold" starting Tom Selleck is excellent. I guess they are a under "Jesse Stone" but I think Stone Cold was the first. Chief of police in a small New England town. A mini-series but every episode ends when it ends so like 9, 2 hour movies. Just watch them in order for some points of reference from previous shows. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

"Veronica Mars" is another series I didn't want to end. High school student solving crimes.

I just realized I need to get a life I watch too much TV!

It happens. I’m on the computer and forums too much.
Quigley down under
The Man from Snowy River
The Quiet Man with John Wayne, my favorite movie.

All excellent movies I've watched several times. I hope that helps those one and done types. But like I said I've re-watched them because they display values I believe are important in life. And they make me feel good
rosie,

I love Tom Seleck, but I hated Magnum PI. I've watched all of the Jesse Stone movies, and all of his Westerns. And of course, Blue Bloods. I like old westerns in general, but not so much in practice. I will occasionally turn on an old Clint Eastwood movie for background noise to keep the puppies happy.
Eastwood, oh I love Gran Torino.
When I got ready to leave my career, the coworkers joked that I had become like jaded Dirty Harry...nobody
puts ketchup on a hot dog! lol

Was looking for older Brit series, Pie in the Sky. Love that! Found a 2023 American flick by the same name... which provides a small treatise on pie crust, among other things... grinning smiley

I've almost finished the first season of The Wire...so I think it's about 20 years old, but wow, it seems so dated in many ways.
It's more like a dark soap opera than a written series, IMO....lots of characters, lots going on.
I've spent quite a bit of time in Baltimore, so some of it is relatable...place names, neighborhoods, vibe....the politics are haunting.
I understand there's a book behind it, written by someone in the life. I need to go look that up.
