It came out in other countries earlier than we get it in the USA. I know the brits had it days ago because I've seen some discussion of it in a Peaky Blinders group.

Ok, that makes sense. I forgot that shows can sometimes be aired on different dates in different countries. It was the same way with Downton Abbey. England got the seasons like a month or two before the US did.
It's strange though. You would think FX, being a US network, would air it first in the US before other countries (or at least at the same time). -

Is it an FX show or are they just airing it too? I know The Night Manager aired in other countries first and then AMC aired it. I had already binged it long before it finally aired here. I recently binged Frontier, which is supposed to be an American-Canadian show but I'm not sure when the USA is even getting it.

I saw the pilot it is excellent. I really liked it, and unlike most the board I'm not really a big Tom Hardy fan.
It is very dark and mysterious with that typical dirty historic London feel combined with a hint of a magical/ supernatural something. -

Me neither.

Awesome. I'm currently binging Narcos but look forward to starting a good new show after. Weird that so many Peaky Blinders fans said it was meh.

I really really like it ! Thank you for asking. How about you ? It started a little slow but the character developments slowly started to get going.
The scene with Pryce, Hardy, and the council at meeting towards the end of the episode
was phenomenal. It was a first episode to what looks like a very interesting story.
I wasn't sure whether he had a child with his step sister or step daughter ? That confused me or was that a made up rumour ?
Whichever we shall see !
And his mysterious background with flashbacks is perhaps some kind of African magic ?
Can't wait to see the next episode !

I liked it. I think they will need to pick up the pacing of the series if they want to attract the masses to watch (and be successful), but I personally didn't have a problem with the pacing. I agree the acting was phenomenal.
