Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, the directors behind the cult hit Ready or Not, know that most people really just want that movie again, even though everyone in it (save its indestructible heroine, Samara Weaving’s Grace) literally exploded. And in a way, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is basically that movie: More rich sycophants become mincemeat, a new game bathes our heroes in blood, and Weaving unleashes her iconic scream whenever necessary. It even opens with a rehash of Ready or Not’s now-iconic ending, reintroducing Grace as she stumbles out of her in-laws’ decadent mansion, wedding dress soaked through with their blood, to finally enjoy a cigarette while a pair of stunned paramedics look on.

It’s a fitting way to kick things off, even if it does explicitly tread the same ground. But before we can get too comfortable, Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett “yes, and” that imagery in the most bonkers way possible. In a seamless continuation of that parting scene, Grace goes into critical shock; a dizzying snorricam sequence follows her into the back of an ambulance, where we relive her harrowing wedding night in quick jarring flashes. If there ever was a sense of security going into Ready or Not 2, this sequel wastes little time blowing it all up. Sure, this game hasn’t changed much, but with double the players comes double the carnage and, naturally, more delirious charm.

At the keynote panel at SXSW, Steven Spielberg revealed his beliefs that "we are not alone here on Earth right now."

Period dramas have a legacy problem. You can set your story in, say, New York in 1927, but if your show lasts more than two years, then you have to address the Wall-Street-sized elephant in the room. That’s why Downton Abbey, despite airing for six seasons and three movies, was ended for good before the series reached the thirties. Bridgerton found a way around it by hand-waving geopolitics away completely, even though the Napoleonic Wars were raging at the time.

Then, there’s Peaky Blinders. Steven Knight’s long-running crime thriller series has always embraced time passing in-universe as part of the show’s natural evolution. Season 1 followed crime lord Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) as he built up a syndicate after returning from the trenches of WWI, and by the end of Season 6, the series had reached the late 1920s — and yes, it did address the 1929 stock market crash.

Now, Tommy Shelby is back for one last adventure: Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, a feature-length movie, now streaming on Netflix. And while the tone is bleak and grey as the Birmingham smog, this story is a masterclass in how to define a show’s legacy.
