Peaky Blinders or Boardwalk Empire?

Only issue is that Peaky Blinders is ongoing. Potentially 7 seasons or so. I'm sure at some point I'll watch both. I stopped watching Sopranos after Season 2 because it didn't seem to be going anywhere.

Maybe wait then for Peaky Blinders to be totally finished and then binge watch it?
Boardwalk Empire was very good looking and does pull you in, but it did have its slow moments.
What other series do you like? Maybe there's another one you haven't watched that you might like to addnto the list. -

Not a whole lot have stuck. Breaking Bad was great, but had a lot of pacing issues, especially with all the Skyler stuff. Better Call Saul improved on the pacing, except for the latest season wherein practically nothing happened (coming after their best season yet, too). The Chernobyl miniseries was fantastic. I liked Game of Thrones until they decided they could bring characters back from death, so I stopped watching around then.

Not too much of a fan of anthology shows because they end up being more about the concept than the characters or an overarching narrative. Couldn't watch too much of Black Mirror for that reason. The concept would have to be pretty damn good. Not really much of a series guy, but just thinking about giving one or both of the shows I mentioned a chance.

I’m the only expert here you can trust on this.
Pesky Blinders is a pretty good show that’s extremely British and incomprehensible at times. The last season sucked ass. It’s an exemplary show though because Cillian Murphy is that good.
Boardwalk Empire is very slow at the start. It’s a character building type of Scorsese drama that ends with extreme drama in the last two episodes of every season.
Honestly, they both get 8/10.
