An Extremely late review - Peaky Blinders- Episode 5
Right...i have established that this is an extremely late review/Summary of Peaky Blinders xD but it least i'm getting something done haha :')
Anyways , so! Peaky Blinders Episode 5 saw many thing's happen. Such as an IRA visiting Thomas , The Shelby's father making a visit , Arthur Committing suicide and also Thomas and Grace making love.
One of the Story lines that i found to stand out in this episode , was the return of Arthur Senior (Tommy Flanagan) , The Shelby Brothers father. The fact that Arthur Senior arrived without any caution , was clearly shown through the tension between him and Tommy and so revealed that he was an unlikable character.
Throughout the episode i had a huge amount of sympathy for Arthur Shelby , due to the fact that he really wanted to rekindle his relationship with his father , unlike the his brothers. And to one day run a casino , an idea conjured up by his selfish father.
Sympathy was further created towards Arthur , lets say Arthur Junior, as his father asked him for a huge amount of money , which would enable them to start 'their' business. This unfortunately was incredibly unlikely. We soon realise that Arthur Senior runs off with the money , leaving poor Arthur Junior behind. There were also a couple of fight scenes between Arthur S and Arthur J , in which made me hate A Senior even more. At one point , they begin to fight surrounded by men and at first Arthur J see's it as a playful fight! But his father has other plans and humiliates his son. Underlying tension and hatred is suggested through the way in which Arthur's father beats up his own son , only to them confuse Arthur by declaring him the winner , showing the evil and tormented side that Arthur Senior has.
This betrayal formed by Arthur Junior's father , in turn, resulted in Arthur trying to commit suicide. However , This was unsuccessful and the rope snaps , much to Arthur's disappointment and relief. This was clearly suggesting a sign of fate , as Arthur couldn't possibly die just yet! not until series 2 or 3 or 4 is over , perhaps? haha xD.
The love scene between Thomas and Grace was also a pivotal moment in the episode and also much anticipated by the Thomas and Grace fans (Not sure if such fans have made up a stupid name for them yet :L Thace? Gracmas? mmm relevant to the season..yeah haha) The love scene , was indeed beautifully filmed! as most scenes including Thomas and Grace, individually or together, usually are. It was also shown after a brawl with the IRA etc and so passion ,in a sense, was conveyed well through the actors after/due the traumatic situation. However i found it difficult to know if Grace truly loved Tommy during this scene , due to the fact that i found it slightly difficult to read her.
Sadly , i have a feeling Episode 5 is no longer available on the BBC Iplayer! But the boxset is available from Amazon etc.
Hope you kind of enjoyed this :)! haha x
I will try and get a review for the Finale written soon ;D!
P.S Constructive criticism is welcome! I would love to know what you guys think about my writing and what i could improve on! it would be a great help :) Thank you x

The Originals - Series 1 - Episode 1 - Review :)!
Another quick/rushed review..thing :')!
When i first found out that there was going to a spin-off to The Vampire Diaries , i couldn't contain my excitement. The fact that it was also going to based upon the 'The Original Family' , the Mikaelson's , primarily being Rebekah , Klaus and Elijah made it even more interesting . This is because it would enable us to learn more about their past and the problems that they currently face, such as Klaus and his little werewolf 'hiccup'.
Although some aspects of the show are similar to that of 'The Vampire Diaries' , this obviously being the characters (and also the logo), it is nowhere near the same. This show seems to be darker more..grown up! The way in which it is filmed is mildly different as well , which i like!.
The first episode revisited 'The Originals' episode of The Vampire Diaries , which was the pilot for the spin off show. The first episode however , was shown through Elijah's eyes. I really liked the way in which Elijah showed such compassion towards Hayley and her unborn child. Although i'm not a huge fan of Hayley , mainly because she clearly didn't see the consequences of her actions :L!..i may warm to her because of the fact that Elijah likes her. I found the whole 'protecting the child' thing to be a little strange..but when you realise that all Elijah wants is a family , you sympathize for him and therefore urge Klaus to cooperate and accept his unborn child. Klaus finally does towards the end of the episode , stating that 'Every King needs an heir' which i found very powerful.
I know this is a short post...but overall , i really liked 'The Originals'. Even though i had basically seen it before (through the pilot) , the fact that it was through Elijah's eyes made it that little more engaging. The way it is filmed is also different , creating a more dark and unsettling atmosphere. I am definitely a fan..why wouldn't i be? ;D
The Originals-CW-WATCH IT ^_^!

The Vampire Diaries - Season 5 - Episode 1- Review :)!
This is just going to be a quick review/recap/my own opinions, on the first episode episode of Season 5 of The vampire Diaries ^_^.
Firstly and unfortunately ..i can only say that i was satisfied with this episode :S as much as i want to say it was 'amazingly brilliant', it was just 'good' :L haha i don't know if it was just me and the mood that i was in when i watched it or the fact that i haven't watched the show for a few months! I felt as though there wasn't a huge 'wow factor'! Anyways ..on a positive note! i am happy that it's back on WOO! :D
I have to say, this episode definitely contained more 'sex appeal' and humour. Which was a good thing compared to the previous episodes ,which were quite upsetting. This is due to the first few scenes including Elena and Damon in bed and surprisingly, Matt and Rebecca in bed in 'Amsterdam or was it Prague? i can't keep track'.. with another woman. The humour was mainly given through Damon amd his many sarcastic remarks, which made me laugh.
I also liked the way that Silas was portrayed within the episode, as being evil yet cheeky! slightly similar to Damon's character, to some extent (it may have been the smile). Although i didn't really like the fact that he killed Bonnie's dad..that was unfair! But dare i say , i think i actually prefer Silas to Stefan O_o (Even though i like all the characters!).
On the note of Stefan , i did however sympathize with him due to the fact that he is being kept in a safe underwater , constantly drowning each time he awakens (I couldn't help but think of Torch Wood , even though Captain Jack was buried in earth for so many years...but yes). I thought the scenes were quite interesting , especially the initial scene of seeing Stefan in the Safe. We first see Elena in Damon's bath , she mentions about Stefan and contemplates calling him. Instead she stops herself and slides down under the water , to which it then cleverly turns to Stefan , as though they are back to back.
I also liked the way in which Elena seemed happier and that her and Caroline were getting along. I am upset about Bonnie.. but the way in which she acts, especially around Jeremy, ensured me that she was ok..sort of. I also found the 'human' Katherine quite entertaining to watch , as you could tell she was far weaker and vulnerable.
Overall, I liked the episode and the way in which certain characters , like Silas , were portrayed. The humour and obvious sex appeal made the episode more grown up and entertaining, which in turn balanced out the more unsettling scenes , such as seeing Stefan in the safe and also the gruesome murder of Bonnie's father.

Peaky Blinders - Episode 4 review :)!
*contains spoilers
Okay , so i think this has to be the best episode so far! ;D and that's saying something!!
Peaky Blinders just gets better and better!....I feel as though this weeks episode definitely allowed us to get to know and understand more about the characters (and their problems) such as John , Tommy and Inspector Chester Campbell, to some extent. I was very intrigued to find that the episode didn't focus on one particular individual or couple , such as Grace or Tommy , which dare i say...was a nice change (I do love the developing connection between them though!).
This weeks episode saw many things happen ! For instance ,The Lee's taking revenge , John's urge to provide a mother for his four children, a kiss between Tommy and Grace (Finally! ;D) and of course Ada giving birth to a son.
I also found that the episode contained far more humour than the previous ones , making it even more likable as you can relate to the cheeky humor and banter exchanged between a family (Because who doesn't have an inside joke within their family or mock a relatives 'naive' actions? :L). Such humour was shown in the scene between John , Tommy , Aunt Polly and Arthur in which John declares that he is to marry Lizzie , 'the woman whose never done a days work vertical' and who had served Tom for two years. Although the scene was of a touching matter for John , due to the fact that you find out that he had lost his wife during the war , i couldn't help but laugh at the witty remarks Aunt Polly gave towards his proposal to Lizzie.
Contrasting heavily to the Humourous scenes , I couldn't help but shiver at the dark and disturbing scenes within this episode. Such disturbing scenes, as the apparent tortured corpse of Stanley Chapman and the tense meeting between Tommy and Inspector Chester Campbell. The scene between the two men was indeed disturbing , mainly because the inspector explains to Tommy the explicit execution of his family that could occur , if Campbell is to be dismissed because of Tommy. He explains in detail , ideas of Rape (towards young Finn) and beating his family to death 'with mallets and spades' , Ada's baby would also 'be of of no consequence' to him. And this i found , revealed a very twisted and vicious side to the inspector , one that i didn't like. (#teampeakyblinders all the way ;3!).
Overall , I enjoyed this episode very much and although it was different through the way in which it allowed us to see more of the characters and contained more humour , i did like how it was contrasted with darker scenes.
