TV Time | Peaky Blinders

   

        

     I'm back! I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving and ate lots of great food! I intended to hit the ground running after my first post but as usual, life got in the way and things got very hectic. I had a major choreography project that I had to finish up and now that that's done, I feel like a huge

 weight has been lifted (the life of an artist). I was also busy buying way too many things online for Black Friday/Cyber Monday, needless to say, I'm not a bit more obsessed with Zara and had my first ASOS purchase(yay!). I also hit up another pop shop event with my bff which was awesome and it felt good to support local businesses in Houston. I mostly fed my mild obsession with skin/bath products that I'm having at the moment. 

      Aside from all that, I always make time to squeeze in tv shows with my love. We're currently at about 7 or 8 running shows and we just keep adding more. The current obsession is PEAKY BLINDERS! If you haven't heard of it, it's a show from the UK that centers aren't the gangster family of the Peaky Blinders and is set in Birmingham, England in 1919 right after WWI. The main character is played by Cillian Murphy, who is an extremely mysterious and intimidating character. Currently in the first season, a chief inspector has been sent to the city to clean up IRA, gangs and common criminals. 

     Along with the interesting plot, the cinematography really caught my eye. The shots mostly all have a dark tone but are also very vivid at the same time. The camera is used very well and the angles are very pleasing and intriguing. I also love the accents. I can't help it. There are an array of different accents even though they all seem to be from the same place which is a bit confusing yet interesting for me. It thickens the plot, a bit. 

     So if you don't watch it, go watch it! It's on Netflix. And if you do watch it, let's talk about it!
