Synopsis
"Peaky Blinders is a British crime drama television series created by Steven Knight. Set in Birmingham, England, it follows the exploits of the Peaky Blinders crime gang in the direct aftermath of the First World War. The fictional gang is loosely based on a real urban youth gang of the same name who were active in the city from the 1880s to the 1910s. It features an ensemble cast led by Cillian Murphy, starring as Tommy Shelby, . . . David Renshaw of The Guardian summarised the series as a 'riveting, fast-paced tale of post-first world war Birmingham gangsters', praising Murphy as the 'ever-so-cool Tommy Shelby' and the rest of the cast for their 'powerful performances.'"
