Ten years after it was first shown Susan and myself have enjoyed this series. Wiki Didn't watch it when it came out. We don't watch much telly. We picked up a copy in the charity shop as Susan had expressed an interest in seeing it. We have one last episode to watch. Good music. Good period detail I enjoyed it and not just because the main character Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) is an ex tunneler from the Great War. My Grandfather was a tunneler as you probably know. He had vicious hand to hand combat underground too. I don't have any need to see the subsequent series (people said they weren't so good) but I am glad to have seen this. Season 1 trailer
