Recommendation Just started Peaky Blinders… why didn’t anyone shake me sooner?!

As in… wow. I feel robbed for not watching this sooner. Peaky Blinders is everything I want in a show sharp, intense, stylish, and full of bite. Every scene feels cinematic, the pacing is tight, and the characters? Complex AF.

It’s not just a gangster show it’s about trauma, ambition, and power plays wrapped in designer suits and razor hats. Cillian Murphy eats every scene. The soundtrack? Chef’s kiss.

If you’re into smart, gritty crime dramas like Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, or Narcos this is your next obsession. 10/10. No notes.

Ive tried to watch it so many times but havent been in the right headspace for it. I cant wait to enjoy it one day when I get a bug up my ass for that genre and my ADHD can tolerate how slow it is. I dont think ive made it past episode three or four.

Im sorry you feel that way. The Peaky Fookin Blinders is a violently beautiful specimen that is top tier. Goodbye Michael.
