This Town (2024– )
10/10
The Buses aren't running on account of them

Being on fire, is something Stephen Knight is perfect at... if you want drama this is for you. If you need a historical documentary, please get your fix elsewhere.

The first 20 minutes with Dante colliding with Jeannie amidst Birmingham riots and the last 20 minutes where the band, the RA and all seek solutions, are sublime. In between we have characteristic predictable unpredictability from Knight just like Peaky Blinders. Don't try to guess !

The casting is faultless with all the characters oozing charisma, vulnerability and most seeking redemption. Virgil in a strange way is the leader of the gang with his words and delivery copying the style of Peaky Tommy Shelby. Jordan Bolger as Virgil nails it and his brother played by Levi Brown surely must be a rising .... Michelle Dockery steals the show by a few hair extensions and because she puts Downtown firmly to rest. I dare you to be bored ... but watch out for the Devil's sniper.
