Britain is a mixture of despair and hedonism in 1919 in the aftermath of the Great War. Returning soldiers, newly minted revolutions and criminal gangs are fighting for survival in a nation rocked by economic upheaval. One of the most powerful gangs of the time is the Peaky Blinders, run by returning war hero Thomas Shelby and his family. But Thomas has bigger ambitions than just running the streets. When a crate of guns goes missing, he recognizes an opportunity to advance in the world because crime may pay but legitimate business pays better. Trying to rid Britain of its crime is Inspector Chester Campbell, who arrives from Belfast to try to achieve that goal.

Serena Davies Daily Telegraph (UK) 11/18/2015
It was beautiful, a vengeance killing that touched on myth to find its impact. It made me hope series two of Peaky Blinders may not be such a mistake after all. Go to Full Review
Stuart Jeffries Guardian 11/09/2015
We mustn't begrudge writer Steven Knight the Brummie braggadocio that charged the virtuosic denouement to series two of Peaky Blinders. Go to Full Review

I'm happy to report that I fell hard for Peaky Blinders. However familiar its building blocks, the U.K. gangster drama is positively bursting with irrepressible energy, and it's proof that, whatever a show's premise, capable execution is everything. Go to Full Review

This powerful, bloody, explosive first hour does set the stall magnificently for what's to come - and after this, you'd be a fool not to tune in. Go to Full Review

matthias s @Thescreenasvor Jan 27 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 Leo O @LeoObermyer Jan 6 Peaky Blinders is an amazing story! Great cast esp. Cillian Murphy - perfect for the role! It keeps getting better & better! See more Michael C Oct 12 Truly outstanding. Groundbreaking for a British series - sure, it is The Godfather all over again and set in England but it is magnificent in it's own right. Great television!! See more Keith T Oct 10 Excellent, really horrific at times, but guess that's what was like then Must watch, hope to watch again This applies to all seasons See more Ashton S @Ashton74 Aug 6 Love Peaky Blinders, season 2 is fantastic!
