    if you like vikings, you will like this. you will also start wearing flat caps and talking like a cockney brit. Cillian Murphy, ( the main guy ) plays Tommy Shelby, a charming and highly intelligent Birmingham gangsta. The story is a play on stoic masculinity and a mans addiction to work. You follow Tommy in this dangerous world and cant help but feel apart of his calculated criminal genius.

    This show is in my top 5 right now, it is that good IMO. The acting is great and the story lines are intriguing. I would recommend this show to anyone that likes a slower paced gangster/period show.

    6 episodes, nothing more, it's good to be concise from time to time.
    Cillian Murphy is excellent. Excellent ambience, great music, good performances, an attractive story. Without doubt Peaky Blinders is a great option and I'm very happy to have found the series.

    1919 Birmingham England was not a pretty place …. Nor were the people who lived there. Suffering the maladies of the "Lost Generation" they did not have the benefit of an industrial revolution neither could they find solace in the social reforms that would later make life livable.

Suffering the maladies of the "Lost Generation" they did not have the benefit of an industrial revolution neither could they find solace in the social reforms that would later make life livable. The only thing more rampant than the era’s crime is the cruelty of law enforcement. On its face, Peaky Blinders is the story of the Shelbys, a Brummie crime family whose loyalty to one another is as admirable as their methodology is disgusting. Even so, Peaky Blinders is a story of survival: The luck of living through WWI’s trench warfare and the attempt to survive its aftermath; Survival of the age’s squalid existence in England’s largest industrialized city; and most of all the survival of the Shelbys’ unbridled ascent to the apex of England’s crime world.
    Thomas Selby (Cillian Murphy) is a cerebral as the patriarch. He isn't the eldest but is astute and most capable. Of course, Thomas is a womanizer but does so with tact and suave. Sort of a Michael Corleone meets Chuck Bass. Murphy is brilliant bringing elegance to debauchery. He reminds one of a young Johnny Depp but less eccentric. Directors should consider him for every drama casted.
    Every crime family needs a dominant female and the Shelbys are no different: Aunt Polly (Helen McCrory) is the family’s strength. She exhibits a unique dichotomy: She is as tough as the situation dictates yet maintains the family unity with a mother’s femininity. Don’t get me wrong. Polly has a plethora of her own problems. She is not perfect but she is that which the Shelbys need. The dirt and dignity which McCrory brings to the role is amazing … clearly deserving award consideration.
    The writing of Peaky Blinders is extraordinary! Storylines are intricate yet are finely blended together allowing coherence. Most importantly, the writing is true to the era (as are the costumes!) which allows the viewer a much greater appreciation of not only the work but the era. On a parallel yet extremely important note, the soundtrack is cutting edge and quite frankly one of the best endeavors I’ve seen in recent years. Comprised of English artists (as you might guess) the music is as important to the enjoyment of the series as is its actors, writing and cinematography.
    Peaky Blinders is a great series! Even so, I don't beleive it to be bingeable. Do yourself a favor. Watch an episode and wait awhile. Allow yourself time to analyze the plot and enjoy not only the acting/technical talent but most importantly the era.    … Expand

    After watching all available seasons(4 of them), i can say that is is one of the best tv dramas I've ever seen. Great writing, great character progression and development, appropriate amounts of action and violence, and a great story to boot. The two critic reviews that are currently out are not at all an accurate depiction of the state of the show. Worth a watch!!

    This is a great series in so many ways that have been touched upon by the other users comments. As for the two clowns (critics) that reviewed this and gave it a 50, they obviously botched this one, must have lousy taste in shows, and been having a very bad day when they reviewed Peaky Blinders.

Y efectivamente, ya desde esta primera temporada 'Peaky blinders' resulta una serie brutal, sensacional.

    El guión y como esta escrita es increíble, un puzzle perfectamente encajado con todas sus piezas. Con una trama principal repleta de giros, coherencia y momentazos. Y compuesta de unas tramas secundarias que van desarrollando perfectamente a todos los personajes.

    Los personajes son sensacionales (cosa que ya sabía de antes) con 'Tommy', Arthur y John Shelby, en lo que es, claramente, una aproximación a 'El padrino'.

    Es una serie muy "molona" con unos planos, en ocasiones, de los Shelby acompañados de una música rock. Sensacional. Por poner algún "pero", diré, que para mí sigue siendo inferior a 'Boardwalk empire' por donde la mire. Y también que es una serie que se limita puramente a sus tramas, dramas de personajes y estas cosas. No es una serie que te deje reflexionando en sus escenas o al final de un capítulo. No tiene ese tono "HBO" que si está, por ejemplo, en "The Sopranos".

    En definitiva, increible temporada ya esta primera. Estoy revisando ya la segunda y sigue subiendo. Genial, un 9, ¡por orden de los Peaky blinders!    … Expand

    I'm really enjoying the 2 seasons I've seen of this drama. The show has a slow burn to it. All the actors are wonderful and pull you into their world. The only critique I can give the show is that the songs (not the score music) take you out of the moments way too often. That would turn 9 points into 8.

Cillian's looks can mesmerize, and Tom Hardy is wonderful with his quirkitudes. And what a treat to have Sam Neil play the bad guy!… Expand

    Awesome show. Highly recommend. I love the characters and the atmosphere and the way the entire show was shot. My only complaint is that it starts off pretty slow and was a little hard to for me to catch on. It took me a few episodes to really get hooked into it, but it turned out to be a very good show. I'm very much looking forward to the next season.

    I just finished watching the entire first season Netflix. I can't believe this show has not gotten more attention. The acting and direction are very good, and the writing is superb, which is pretty hard to come by. The sets are nothing special, and the music score a bit out of place for a story that was supposed to happen 100 years ago, but these are pretty minor quibbles.

    Peaky Blinders is an underrated gangster series from Netflix/BBC. The setting is early 20th Century Birmingham, England. The Peaky Blinders gang run an illegal network of gambling and bookkeeping. Sets and costumes are period appropriate. The action, drama and romance are equally well done. Six hour-long episodes make up season one. Each episode is better than the previous.

    Peaky Blinders is literate (watch for the visual references to “L’Atalante” and Charon’s crossing) and sometimes great looking, with impressive evocations of hellish industrial sections of Birmingham that have a science-fiction feel. But for a sprawling soap opera that packs in Roma curses, shell shock, hash pipes, Chinatown prostitutes and gang members sporting the 1919 version of a half-shaved boy-band haircut, it doesn’t have quite enough juice.
