Grant H @RT95929188 Sep 15, 2026 Highly watchable and gripping as the audience throws its weight behind the anti-hero Tommy Shelby, the least-worst option of Birmingham’s criminal classes. The only flaw is the overly-graphic violence that prompts this viewer to ponder the mechanics of the blood-letting rather than be absorbed in the story. The choreographer of the beatings and killings should have followed the lead of the sexual scenes where much more dramatic impact was achieved via the implied rather than the explicit and lurid.

See more DeClay T. @RT45021090 Apr 13, 2026 One of the greatest shows of all time. See more Torben E @Tales_from_Elsewhere Apr 4, 2026 If you loved the first season, you'll will probably love the second too. Here, the stakes are a bit higher, the storyline successfully rises above Birmingham and new additions to the cast breathe new life into the interpersonal relationships and sub-plots. (Tom Hardy is intense as ever). This is an extremely addictive series...if you're into this kind of period piece. From my perspective, it's nearly perfect; I just have two very small complaints: Sam Neill's character remains a bit underdeveloped and that is also true for Annabelle Wallis's Grace Burgess. With an extremely talented actor heavyweight like Cillian Murphy as the lead, there's the need for an equal counterpart and so far I haven't seen one. (Not yet). See more Marco L @decatur555 Mar 22, 2026 Peaky Blinders is one of the most stylish and fully realized crime dramas of recent years, but what makes it great is that the style is backed by real substance. The production design, music, camera work, and atmosphere turn Birmingham into a world that feels dirty, elegant, and dangerous at the same time. Cillian Murphy is phenomenal as Tommy Shelby, but the series also benefits from an exceptional ensemble cast that gives weight to every alliance, betrayal, and family conflict. Beyond the gangster story, it is also about ambition, trauma, class, politics, and survival. Sometimes it can feel a little too in love with its own mythology, but it never becomes empty. Sharp, intense, beautifully made, and led by one of the strongest performances on television. See more matthias s @Thescreenasvor Jan 27, 2026 Season 2 proves Peaky Blinders isn’t just a stylish debut—it’s a statement. Bigger, better, and smarter than the first season, the stakes rise dramatically as the Shelby empire expands beyond Birmingham. The writing sharpens, the power plays feel more dangerous, and the tension never lets up. Cillian Murphy somehow elevates an already great performance, adding more layers to Tommy’s quiet menace. Sam Neill versus Murphy remains absolute peak television, a battle of wills that still hits hard. And the arrival of Tom Hardy is pure fun—unpredictable, unhinged, and instantly iconic. The show fully finds its confidence here. See more Read all reviews
