If you love the 1980s – specifically, the neon-lit, Talking Heads-blaring, Delboy swagger of the 1980s Cockney – then Sky’s new crime thriller A Town Called Malice is right up your street.
Meet the Lords
Created by The Sweeney’s Nick Love, this eight-part drama centres on the Lord family, a South London gang whose criminal heyday might be behind them, but who are still up for causing trouble. After a spot of bother with a rival gang (and leaving a policeman for dead), they flee to Spain’s Costa del Sol to lay low, and in amongst the pina coladas and palm trees realise they have a chance to recapture their former glory and become criminal top dogs once more.
The series premiered on Sky Max at 9pm on Thursday 16th March, and the full box-set is already available to watch on Now.

In season four of "Peaky Blinders," viewers were introduced to scrappy newcomer fighter Bonnie Gold. Played by Jack Rowan, Bonnie was brought into the story as a bargaining chip between Thomas "Tommy" Shelby (Cillian Murphy) and Bonnie's father Aberama Gold (Aidan Gillen). Aberama continues to help the Peaky Binders after Luca Changretta (Adrien Brody) begins his quest for revenge against the Shelby family and, in exchange for his assassin-related services, Tommy will help Bonnie achieve his dreams of becoming a professional boxer.
For Rowan, the role wasn't as difficult as one might expect. He brought his own experience as an amateur boxer into his interpretation of Bonnie, and it served him well. As Rowan explained to The Gentleman's Journal, while the role didn't require much of him, there was something undeniably special about it:
"It combines my two passions. It was really just a bonus that the series had already...

“Peaky Blinders” will conclude with the British period crime drama’s upcoming sixth season, which has just begun production in the U.K., the BBC announced Monday.
“‘Peaky’ is back and with a bang,” creator and writer Steven Knight said in a statement Monday. “After the enforced production delay due to the Covid pandemic, we find the family in extreme jeopardy and the stakes have never been higher. We believe this will be the best series of all and are sure that our amazing fans will love it. While the TV series will be coming to an end, the story will continue in another form.”
Representatives for BBC did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment on what other “form” Knight was referring to.

Netflix is bringing back Peaky Blinders for a fifth season and we’ve got a fantastic new trailer to share with you for it that is sure to get the fans pumped up for what this next season will entail. In the next chapter of the story, the Shelbys grapple with the 1929 stock market crash, and Tommy “confronts new threats to his power from younger family members and fascist rivals.”
It’s been two freakin’ years since Peaky Blinders Season 4 was released on Netflix and I’m so happy that we’ve got six more episodes coming our way soon! It’s been promised by series creator Steven Knight that this season will be filled with “shocks and surprises.”

With just two weeks to go until the Oct. 4 launch date, Netflix has released a brand new trailer for the fifth season of “Peaky Blinders” — and it’s full of real and imagined violence, and one unfortunate scarecrow.
If you want to see Tommy Shelby use a Tommy gun to murder a scarecrow hung on a cross, watch the video above now.
Before it gets blasted to smithereens, the straw effigy of Cillian Murphy’s character delivers a sinister note telling him: “Look down on earth, and see the seeds you have sown.”

I love this show and it’s about damn time Season 5 gets a release date! Series creator Steven Knight talked about the upcoming chapter of the story saying that it begins with the Wall Street crash of 1929 and the Shelby family “seriously affected because they’ve invested their legitimate money and are going to have to fall back on the illegitimate money.” He also promised “shocks and surprises to come.”

Peaky Blinders' series 4 finale proved that it's more ambitious and thrilling than ever. Spoilers ahead in our review…

Peaky Blinders series four was… monumental. Right from this show’s first ever episode when Tommy Shelby rode into town and had a magic spell cast on his racehorse, it’s always felt mythic, but this was something else. Series four was ambitious, accomplished and swaggeringly confident, with a hand of tricks—Polly’s fake betrayal, Arthur’s ‘death’—played to maximum effect. Surprises and action rushed around the feet of now-towering characters, and as always, the main plot was echoed in a layer of symbolism.
The boxing match pitting big against small, for instance, acted as a dumbshow for Tommy’s plan, a version in miniature. To the baying crowd,...
