So ,the show is amazing like 99% of the reviews, no doubt here.
BUT.
When a english gipsy talks to another one in this series sometimes they use romanian as their "old" and common language. This is hurtfully ignorant for a show that remade the whole 1920's atmosphere! They probably researched a lot for the show but when they decided gispyes need a language of their own they choosen romanian....because ,why not? Aren't romanians gipsyes?! Well. FIRST. Romanian is a romance language. Derives from latin. Second. Romanians are la latin people derived from mixture of the roman colonists and the local population in the roman province of Dacia. Third - gipsyes are a nomadic people from India who arrived in Alexandria (Egypt) in the middle ages and spread though Europe. They are called Gypsy from Egyptians wich they were not but mistaken for.
For God's sake, Tommy Shleby speaks "the gipsy language" with latin words....it's unthinkably ignorant! Gipsy language is a indian dialect, not romanian. Romanians and romanian have nothing to do with gipsy language or culture. They just have a large population of gipsyes in their country just like Hungary ,Serbia, Greece and most of the balkans do. It's offensive for romanians to mistake their language for the gipsy language.
Other then this, nice show :)
