About this show

Britain in 1919 is a tumultuous mix of despair and hedonism, a nation cleaned out by the extravagances of the Great War. Returning soldiers, newly minted revolutionaries and criminal gangs all fight for survival in an industrial landscape gripped by economic upheaval. Based on a true story, this drama follows one ambitious gang in Birmingham as they rise to become the most feared and powerful in town. Named for their practice of sewing razor blades into the peaks of their caps, the Peaky Blinders run an empire of illegal betting, protection rackets and stolen goods.

I'm obsessed with this show I have family from Ireland and the turf wars were definitely a real thing and people took it seriously! I have a great uncle that still takes some of it seriously not going to the Dublin side of ireland... the writing is amazing everyone needs to watch this show! I just watched season 5 and waiting till 2021 for season 6 is PURE TORTURE bc he introduced Oswald Mosley into the mix and I feel stuff is gonna get CRAZY... Cillian Murphy is perfection in this.OH I LOVE IT!

Don't let this shows exterior fool you. Despite a god awful title, this show is extremely good. Up there with the best of the best television series. One of BBC's crown jewels. No pun intended.

From the very first episode to the end of season three, I could not stop watching. The writing and acting is so awesome. It's gangster Downton Abbey.
