GoT isn't complex. As always disregard everything uh oh says. GoT is truly good for 3 seasons then solid for the rest, which is high tier for me. Watch it.
Peaky Blinders is good for a season or so. Then you can enjoy the vapors for another. I stayed up until 2 am binging it. Thought it was wonderful. Then after some thought I decided I never wanted to watch it again. The whole Clockwork Orange ultraviolence is fine. Even with my lower opinion of it I still think the principle actors do a good to great job. But it's so much style. Such good style. Match the filter and grittiness and Cilian Murphy and a Tom Hardy guest spot and you can smoke most television. I wont go into specific spoilers but the show betrays an overreliance on plot and specifically plot twist that undermines the whole endeavor. I watched it as a character study and eventually came away very disappointed. I put it just below Boardwalk Empire but exactly in BE's tier. Supposedly great but actually a post-Sopranos attempt that never gets the details right. At least BE had that box scene, which blows anything in Peaky Blinders out of the water.
