The story and the setting are incredible, so there is a lot there to be developed. Season 2 is up for release in 2014, and it would not surprise me if the show will really pick up from there. That being said, I did really enjoy this classic more slow-paced British gangster series, and seeing that it only has six episodes in the first season of the mini-series, you can understand that it did not hit as hard as a Boardwalk Empire. Simply put, it does not quite live up to its promise of becoming the ‘Brummy’ version of the American Boardwalk Empire. Peaky Blinders CREATOR: Steven Knight CAST: Cillian Murphy, Paul Anderson, Sophie RundleīBC made something special, but despite that it looks terrific, and really takes you back to the Birmingham just after World War 1, it is also a bit clumsy and messy at times. We are confident we’ll see lots of great and innovative drama shows in the years to come, but none of them is probably going to beat The Wire in all its strength. Despite it’s ambition to make a harsh point, it’s complexity and the vast amount of characters, The Wire tells unheard stories in an original and thought provoking way. The show is simply ingenious and will leave a lasting impression, leaving the restraint one might have before watching the show far behind. The cult status The Wire (slowly) received probably has a lot to do with word-of-mouth, and for good reason. “Truthful, complex stories about the American people left behind in a postmodern urban society” may cover the series’ content, but will not invite a lot of people to start viewing the best tv show ever made. ‘An anti-cop show disguised as a cop show’ doesn’t tingle anyone. Pitching The Wire to non-believers is a tough job. The Wire CREATOR: David Simon CAST: Dominic West, Lance Reddick & Sonja Sohn Interesting fact is that the first season was watched by one-fifth of the Norwegians. It is a crime comedy drama, with terrific black humor and an outstanding performance by van Zandt. He almost instantly faces the strict Norwegian bureaucracy and the authorities. In this American/Norwegian co-production its all about New Yorker mafioso Frank Tagliano (Steve van Zandt, known as Silvio from the Soprano’s) who is forced to take refuge in a small village in Norway, due to trouble at the homefront. Lilyhammer bring the American/Italian mafia flavor to Norway. ![]() There is now a place for smaller drama’s because millions of people are reached, the people yearning for quality series. Now in 2015 Netflix is coming with 9 new original tv shows, and other channels and online streaming websites are following suit, like Amazon. It was the very first Original series produced by Netflix, and consequently changed the television landscape. This show truly was innovative, even besides style and content.
