Peaky Blinders

CrimeDrama57 min per episode

In 1919 Birmingham, the Peaky Blinders run betting shops and protection rackets under the command of Tommy Shelby, with Cillian Murphy as the gang’s cool, ambitious strategist. Fresh from the First World War, Tommy wants to turn a street crew known for sewing razor blades into their caps into something larger, even as the police crack down and rival outfits push back. Arthur (Paul Anderson) is the family’s volatile enforcer, while Helen McCrory’s Polly Gray keeps a sharp eye on the business. Smoke-blackened streets, pubs, and backroom deals shape its portrait of England’s criminal underworld.
