[b]It's giving Peaky Blinder vibes[/b] but also very weird story telling and can't stand the dark lightning.  Interesting, and horrifying, view into Irish history. Fiction but based on true events so I'm sure there are a lot of liberties taken with the story.  Overall IMO it's a good, not great watch.  Interested in others reactions.[/quote]

Created by the same person, Steven Knight, so that tracks. I loved Peaky Blinders, so I was excited to learn of this. I've only watched the first episode so far... I feel like there's an interesting dynamic being set up, and the characters seem pretty complex, which is promising. I think my dislike of it is basically that it has "Peaky Blinder vibes", like you said, but isn't. It feels almost formulaic to me; even the poster/cover images look like PB with the characters swapped out...

He definitely has a template. I'm not sure I can get my brain to shift into this new iteration of it, but I'm going to keep watching. [/quote]
