Peaky Blinders (55)
I reviewed the first season in 2021 and dropped the show afterwards.
I had heard good things about Peaky Blinders and I was looking forward to watching a period piece with a compelling lead character. What I actually got was so much worse than I had expected. As somebody who values strong writing, emotion, and storytelling, I couldn't get over how uninspired, unintelligent, and melodramatic this show was in the first season. Maybe I missed out on something with this one, but this did not feel like a show that was made for someone like me so I dropped it. Don't watch this one if you prioritize storytelling over the "cool factor" like I do.
