Peaky Blinders

Peaky Blinders is a Steven Knight-created British gangster drama television series. It is set in Birmingham, England, and follows the exploits of the Peaky Blinders crime gang in the immediate aftermath of World War I. The fictional gang is loosely based on the same-named real-life urban youth gang that operated in the city from the 1890s to the 1910s.

Steven Knight created Peaky Blinders with the image of "smoke, booze, and (these) immaculately dressed men..." based on a real-life notorious gang active in Birmingham in the 1890s. As a result, the show provides nothing less than the most thrilling gangster story on television. Cillian Murphy's portrayal of the protagonist, Thomas "Tommy" Shelby, is outstanding, capturing the attention of every single viewer. Peaky Blinders may be too dark for some, but it is important for eschewing the fancy, overly costumed fluff of many period dramas in favor of something real lurking in the heart of working-class, historical England, the England of the people. Peaky Blinders' sixth season has already begun airing on BBC One, but Netflix has yet to announce a premiere date for season six.
