It never really plays like a comedy at all, there are funny aspects but none of the storylines are inherently humorous. The characters in both seasons were interesting (if a bit flat) and the writing is competent throughout, but I don’t know, it didn’t leave me feeling that impressed. Don’t get me wrong, I love School of Rock just like any other human with a pulse…this is not Mike White’s best work, let alone the best comedy currently airing.
Finished Peaky Blinders:
- Seasons 5 and 6 were basically one long season
- I heard about Polly's actress' death irl, so no wonder that it affected the storyline in a major way
- Having said that, season 6 felt starkly different compared to the rest of the show so far - there was more emotionally driven plots, less peaky blinder action
- The finale was amazing, it wrapped up a lot of storylines though some were left up in the air. I heard there was a movie in the works? Hope it clears that up
- I'm torn on Tommy's fate. On the one hand I'd have prefered
but on the other hand
- I feel Duke was a stand in for Pol and was kinda related to her plot in the final season. I have a feeling that Pol would have
I hope this gets expanded upon in an eventual movie
All in all, a very very strong 9/10. Not quite Sopranos level for me (which is a 10/10 in my book) but a great show nonetheless.

for him to finally die and rest
the reveal made sense within the established gypsy tradition of dreams and whatnot
- I feel Duke was a stand in for Pol and was kinda related to her plot in the final season. I have a feeling that Pol would have
killed someone in the finale, possibly even Michael, but they incorporated Duke as a lost son and new crutch for Tommy to lean on.

I did, loved all of it. Stellar storytelling, chemistry between characters and the acting was Five Stars.
I'm genuinely amazed about how Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul got so many amazing actors with such performances for them. It's very rare for a show to have such a flawless casting.
And just as much as how Vincent Gilligan and Peter Gould were able to make BCS as great if not even better than Breaking Bad.

100% on the casting and acting for sure
Though, unfortunately, some characters like Gus and Mike, among others, look older in the prequel (BCS) than in BB. Ofc it's only natural - the actors are older, but it's not a deal breaker
And are BB and BCS completely original stories? As in they aren't based on any comics, books, etc? Because if so, that speaks even more to the genius of Vince and Peter

Tuco is hilarious. I remember reading his actor saying somewhere that playing Tuco was exhausting due to the hyperactivity of the character, but also the mindset he had to get to to be "in character". Great performance that goes underappreciated a lot imo.
