Typically depressing genre crime tale set in Dublin and like the wire, sopranos, breaking bad etc. it's very enjoyable.
A lot of Irish people hate it. I'm not kidding. It's getting absolutely savaged by anyone watching it.
The setting is nice, but it's no Love Hate.
From what I've read, I've seen words like pretentious, boring, badly-acted and badly-written thrown around. Like they went for style over substance.
I've not watched a whole lot of it, so I can't really speak on it from my own pov.
Gotta be honest, I love that you called it the Irish Peaky Blinders though.
