It clearly looks like (to me anyway) that it's been dumbed down for the American market. it's the first time the BBC have did it, and I'm sure it won't be the last..

In what way has it been dumbed down?
I think this is a cracking series so far, very dark in places, very brutal, no more cliched than the previous 4 have been.

It's go ne a bit Hollywood like still a canny watch though. The scene with the songbirds was class

Even if you think they’ve dumbed down the plots (I disagree) that shouldn’t really have any bearing on the accents of the characters if it’s British produced.

Proper boring this now like, too much artsy fartsy shite.
First two seasons were the best with the Irish copper.

The poorest series by quite a way, this
I like it.
The Peaky Blinders convention was in Digbeth this weekend. Looked a good laugh.

Best bit of that episode was Atmosphere getting played during the funeral
Felt like little more than a filler episode, that. 100% agree re the Billy Boy's accent. Pitiful, and can only be because they were worried the overseas audience wouldn't have a clue what a genuine Glaswegian was saying.
Hope so. You think back to how electrifying it was whenever he was in it, and you realise this series has been a disappointment so far.

It's not a factual drama though. Of course, Oswald Mosley lived sailing round the world on his yacht til 1980 and his son was head of F1 and a sexual deviant but, as far as I'm aware, there has never been a Romany Gypsy, ex soldier Gangster representing the Labour Party in Parliament.
They could easily rewrite history next week.
Not a chance he’s killing Moseley next week. You can get away with rewriting history aon small things but not to that extent.
It’ll be him with the dodgy accent, the billy boy who will get it I reckon
There was a big disclaimer flashed up in the end credits which I didn’t read in detail but looked like it was saying as much.

If Quentin Tarantino can get away with killing Hitler and Goebbels I reckon the BBC can get away with killing off Mosley.
I’ve got a feeling it could be Tommy getting shot after Mosley discovering his plan.
Be a canny shout actually them coming off second best, kill a couple off and Tommy in a coma for example. Set it up for next series v

I'd never watched it until about 3 weeks ago but have binged through 1 to 4 and it's mostly been brilliant. Except Adrien Brody trying to be Marlon Brando.
