Hello, my beautiful friends! Thanks for coming again! How are you living? So, Today I am going to talk about an incredible TV series called Peaky Blinders!!

I believe that I am becoming lazy about the series. I just can not seem to find enough motivation to support twenty-four episodes lasting fifty minutes, though I really like Blacklist, for example. The grateful surprise with Peaky Blinders is their six well-structured episodes that show well-built characters and a heartwarming story about a family in Birmingham that works with horse betting.
It's 1919, the world still breathes a little peace after a war that lasted four years and destroyed a lot. England is on the back foot, it begins to protect itself and arm itself for the times that can come. But its men and women who have fought and resisted are already dead mentally, exhausted, tired, and weak. The story has a distinctive narratively. Tom Shelby (Cillian Murphy) appears for the first time on a horse, his superior bearing, his enigmatic presence. The character is uniquely introduced to us, he stops, and a Chinese girl throws a red powder under the horse saying that he will win the next race, and so it happens. Tom returns to the house and joins his peers, the Shelby. The not-so-traditional family is in a meeting to decide their next steps, they no longer want to know about the privations of the past.
The central plot is quite subtle, the Shelby work with stakes and form a gang called Peaky Blinders. They run a few shops and businesses in Small Heath, a poor area of Birmingham. There is a lot of dross from society such as thugs, communists, prostitutes, drunks, corrupt police officers, immigrants, and Irish revolutionaries. This whole scene is somewhat shaken by the arrival of Inspector Campbell (Sam Neill), an individual office at the service of the Crown on a mission. It is well-acted and well-directed!
Peaky Blinders the true story |
What seemed to be simple for Tommy begins to turn into chaos. Every day he has to deal with situations that are out of his reach, waging formidable disputes to gain more power? No. In search of legality. First, we have to situate the reader a little in history. Tommy Shelby, despite being a gang leader and having a horse betting house, he was a war hero, he won two medals. His fame is vast, but his desire for legality is even stronger, as is his love for his family. The Shelby's have built over these years of dread some resistance and survival, having as a hot anchor deals, deals, protection, and the like. The bet on horses has become the most significant source of profit, but they want the legality of the business and then the expansion. But beyond that, in the face of all possible problems, there will always be room for the honor. And with each new chapter of Tommy's saga, we will see that the word is a kind of code of conduct that must be respected. There is incredible attention to detail!
About the first season of Peaky Blinders, there is absolutely nothing wrong to be talked about. The concepts and forms are excellent, the fantastic dialogues, as well as the background and main stories. The feelings, the moments and scenes, are so naturally based that it seems more like a well-constructed novel perhaps withdrawn from some great master of literature. Merits for Steven Knight who created an atmosphere of a dirty, marginal, and poor England.
Despite being a crime series, we see a lot more drama, and a great show made entirely from the mix of excellent actors with a solid script based on a simple story. The biggest highlight goes to Aunt Polly, played brilliantly by actress Helen McCrory, Narcissa Malfoy of the Harry Potter series. His dramatic ability is so absurd during the series that we do not know his real intentions. But he overflows loyalty for the family, as well as intelligence, strength, and cunning.
Overall, It's very worth checking Peaky Blinders, it's a compelling series with vast potential. The first season debuted in the year 2013 and is currently in the fourth season. Visually it looks impressive, and Cillian Murphy proves again he can do pretty much anything and glue you to the screen.
