The show is set in a post World War 1 setting and focuses on the rise of the Shelby family from small time bookmakers to one of the deadliest criminal groups not just in Birmingham but the entire world. The first impression that I got from watching Peaky Blinders was that there was going to be a whole lot of violence and tactical planning involved throughout the entirety of the show. And that is exactly what happens.
Welcome to the world of Small Heath( it smells like shit as rightly said by Alfie Solomon!), cigarettes, whiskey sours and 'You don't f*ck with the Peaky fookin Blinders!’ Now I'm gonna rate Peaky Blinders on three aspects - Acting, Plot and direction. Based on this you can decide if it's the show for you.
Acting - With Cillian Murphy and Tom Hardy involved I can assure you the acting of EVERY CHARACTER is fantastic. Right from the intense conversations involving negotiations to the brutal killings and action. You want sophistication you have Polly and Thomas.You want action you have Arthur and John. You want your typical Italian mafia- Mr.Changretta will be happy to meet you. A solid 9/10.
Plot - Each season has 6 episodes each and there is a different storyline to every season so rest assured it will move at a brisk pace and not lag at any point. As far as twists are concerned well I don't want to snatch the experience from you do I? Get ready for a rocky ride people! 8/10
