Getting mixed opinions. Should've expected this. I'll give both shows a shot, and if I'm not reeled in by the first 5 episodes, I'll likely give up on them.

Boardwalk Empire is extremely slow. If you don't have much patience. it will be hard to get through. I didn't find it worth watching.

Funny, about half hour ago I watched a clip of Stephen Graham playing Al Capone ( puts a gun in Micheal Shannons mouth ) in BE and I wanted to start watching it from the start but I cant find it anywhere online for free

A good father is worth more to society
Good idea for a topic.

I can tell that you were neglected of a good father. Shame.

You did a better job at selling Boardwalk Empire. Thanks for the more thorough response.

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.

MAGA! FAFO! Schrodinger's Cat walks into a bar, and doesn't. Dumbocraps: evil people who celebrate murder.

Your input is appreciated.

C. Neither of the above.

I'll probably start with this one, and see if it's for me. Cheers.

Peaky Blinders, for sure.

I definitely get the feeling it's the more popular of the two.

I saw a couple of good episodes. But it's really hit or miss.

It was jarring in Django Unchained, but if the story and characters are good enough, it won't matter.
Cheers.

Andrei Rublev.
One thing to get used to in Peaky Blinders is the modern soundtrack. Some people find it a bit jarring.

Speaking of Tarkovsky, Andrei Rublev or Nostalghia for my next one? I've seen most of his other major films.
I think I'll start with Peaky Blinders, when I get around to it.

Ok, got ya. I'm curious now which of the two you'll like better. I saw you say in another thread that you like Tarkovsky movies. I like them, too, so was wondering if we have similar series preferences.

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.

How do you feel about anthology series? I'm wondering whether you'd like

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.
