Anybody watched the latest BBC drama ‘This Town’?
Set in the Midlands in the 1980s, it’s a hugely ambitious piece of drama. Apparently written by the Peaky Blinders team. Watched the first two episodes, and have to say after a slightly slow start, I’m hooked.
Set against a great soundtrack too.
Can’t believe nobody watching this. Up to episode 3 now, and it is really good. Beautifully shot.
Watched the first episode last night. Enjoyed it.
Discussed it a bit in another thread.

Watched this in one sitting yesterday so treated it like a very long film.
The first 2 eps really sets out its stall and I was really digging the “Our friends in the North” vibe to it, but it didn’t last the pace for me and I found some of the subplots a bit tedious (I do not care about your band m9) but the acting is excellent and I found Levi Brown a real captivating screen presence. A future star for sure.
Yeah, have to agree, having finished watching it last night – not sure it fulfilled the promise of the early episodes. I think I preferred it when nothing much was happening – felt slightly rushed and cluttered towards the end.

I wanted to like it so much, but had to turn it off before the end of the first episode.
Some of the setpieces, the look/period detail (and soundtrack of course) are all excellent.
The plot is a complete shambles.
Can tell it’s from Peaky Blinders guy
