Depends upon how old you are and if you've spent enough time in England to understand PB.

If you are familiar with the 60s you'll probably really like Mad Men.

If you understood Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and some of those other Guy Richie movies you'll probably really like Peaky Blinders if you are willing to give it time.

Peaky Blinders is like a more stylized take on The Godfather set in post-WWI England. If you like The Godfather you'll like Peaky Blinders IMO.

They’re both so great. And I don’t think I understand either time period. Just really good shows with great characters. If I had to only have one, I’d say mad men, but if u need action, then go with PB.

Both are great but Mad Men may be the GOAT

Pesky Blinders if you like thrills. Mad Men if you like character development/dialogue and have an interest in the time period.

ETA: typo but I feel like Pesky blinders would have some decent parody potential

If you watch Peaky Blinders, use captions.

Pb consists of 6 episode seasons. Mad Men is much longer. Both are great.

this guy is spot on. it's why I love GoT and Batman shite. I've spent time in both Westeros and Gotham city, so I love seeing someone else's interpretation of those locales

MM. PB is great for two seasons or so then goes off the rails. It was great w/ sam neil in the beginning.

PB is really entertaining but Mad Men is one of the best shows ever.

PB really isnt in the same league with Madmen. That being said they are completely different in what they deliver so the choice is really about what you’re in the mood for.

Peaky Blinders. Start immediately.

Its one of my favorite shows of all time but it is a bit of a slow burn with season 1. It takes a few episodes for it to take off, but once it does, it is truly great TV. And it gets better as it goes.
