Despite hearing loads of people going on about it, and being excited about a new series starting.
I have never watched Peaky Blinders.
Is it worth the hype, and should I go back and watch it from the start? |  |

Same. Never seen it, and can't be bothered to start watching it! Same with several series on Netflix. I just don't have the time to start them! |  | | |

Ditto.
Having read a bit of Graham Greene I understood such gangs to be acned, scruffy, undernourished urchins who spent their lives slashing each others faces......but the trailers have some glamorous metrosexual type strutting about. |  | | |

....it's "cool" on TWTD to not like it.
Personally I think it's been one of the best British drama serials in recent memory and should be watched from the start.
The series with the Russians (ironically) was a bit weak, but generally it's excellent. |  |

Oh b*gger. I've never been cool before. What do I need to do now I am? |  |

I haven't watched it either, and having just one episode of 'Death in Paradise' to catch up plus putting 'Peaky Blinders' on my iPlayer adds I think I might be leaving this small, select group by the end of the week. |  |

I liked the first few series's but I think it's got a bit tired now. That said I still watch it and thought the opening of the new batch last night was ok.
It's always better when Tom Hardy is in it |  |

Not watched it, unsurprising since never even watched Game of Thrones. |  |

I watched the first couple of episodes when it first started and thought that it was ok but never got into it.
I’ve also never seen ‘Killing Eve’ or ‘Breaking Bad’. |  | | |

I watched the first episode of GOT and couldn't be arsed with the rest, given the fury for the ending, I'm quite glad I didn't invest all those hours. | |

If it was possible to have watched and also not watched 'Killing Eve' and 'Breaking Bad' then those two would be on my bucket list, possibly ahead of going to the Taj Mahal (which i haven't done yet, so that makes it a valid comparator, doesn't it?) | |

Breaking Bad is very good.
I haven't watched Killing Eve as my wife likes it which usually means that I won't. I also assumed it was aimed at the fairer sex so never bothered - although I think a few of my mates like it. | |

First two series are very good, then it all gets a bit fanciful and overblown. I will still watch this final series though. |  |

I don’t think I’ve heard anyone say that they don’t like both after watching them) so I’ll probably give them both a try. Now, I tend to binge watch shows a few years after they’ve finished so that I can watch all of it together.
I’ve just started watching ‘The Wire’ which currently is very good. | | | |

I think I've seen about half of one episode of Killing Eve, but no more than that. Not seen Breaking Bad, and caught a bit in the middle of one episode of GoT as well.
I'm clearly not cool enough, or too cool, or whichever way round it works. | |

I watched the first series of GOT and thought ti was a bit rubbish - started second then gave up
Not too dissimilar to how I found Peaky Blinders either, just didn't grab me |  |

I agree, they should have stopped after series 2. |  |

I've enjoyed Peaky Blinders, also helps that it's only 6 episodes per season.
The third and forth weren't as good as the previous 2 but still decent nonetheless.
Tbh i find a lot of these series struggle at somepoints, really enjoyed Breaking Bad but thought that had 2 seasons too many.
Can't blame them as they hit into a winner, but in order to get longevity I find the writing and storylines get diluted. | |

When I was laid up with Covid I blitzed through The Americans, had watched first couple of series but never all the way through - such an underrated show | |
