Meh on both.

Too much time was allowed to pass between the 6th and final season of Peaky Blinders and Immortal Man. Producers should have just left well enough alone. And to make matters worse, Immortal Man doesn't even really pick up where the 6th season ended. So I don't really see the point of it. It certainly did not address some of the questions I have following the 6th season. Pretty much nothing more than a rushed farewell to Tommy Shelby.

Joe Pickett was really disappointing since I enjoy the books so much. The books are pretty tightly organized and fast paced. The series was very plodding and tedious. What should be quick 2 or 3 minute scenes are dragged out for much longer periods of times. Far too many ponderous flashbacks to Joe's childhood. I don't recall the books ruminating so frequently on his backstory. And at times it felt like the script was written by an overly ambitious high school drama student. Overwrought dialogue, forced / artificial drama and just downright sappy at times.
