Thomas heads the Peaky Blinders, one of the most powerful gangs in Britain. He returns home from the first World War psychologically ravaged but committed to turn his fledgling gambling operation into a lucrative criminal enterprise.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
Peaky Blinders is masterfully directed every season, and since season 2 showrunner Stephen Knight and producer Caryn Mandabach select one director to tackle all six episode of the upcoming season. This makes for stark consistency in the visuals, so the most noticeable voice and perspective throughout all five seasons remains that of Thomas Shelby, its embattled and fiercely ambitious protagonist. Cillian Murphy gives a career best performance leading this show, and all of the supporting cast give similarly remarkable performances. Watching the world of the story expand season after season as the Peaky Blinders business interests expand and grow is a richly rewarding audience experience seldom found in television shows.
One of the best shows out right now, Peaky Blinders excels on just about every front, from the evocatively bleak cinematography to the stellar performances from major and minor characters alike. Each season is bigger and bolder than the last, but without losing sight of its roots. For fans of crime shows, period pieces, or just good television in general, Peaky Blinders is a must-watch.
