Recommendation Just started Peaky Blinders… why didn’t anyone shake me sooner?!

As in… wow. I feel robbed for not watching this sooner. Peaky Blinders is everything I want in a show sharp, intense, stylish, and full of bite. Every scene feels cinematic, the pacing is tight, and the characters? Complex AF.

It’s not just a gangster show it’s about trauma, ambition, and power plays wrapped in designer suits and razor hats. Cillian Murphy eats every scene. The soundtrack? Chef’s kiss.

If you’re into smart, gritty crime dramas like Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, or Narcos this is your next obsession. 10/10. No notes.

How can you give it a 10 if you’ve only just started?

Great show. Set in a great time. They use the same trick every season though and it gets a bit repetitive by the end.

Fair point! I actually started this a while back and now I’m on Season 5 still solid in my book. I get what you mean though, they do reuse certain patterns every season, but for me the execution and characters still keep it engaging. The vibe, music, and tension are just unmatched. ☺️

I definitely enjoyed it a lot but the seasonal thing definitely stood out.

I still quote Arthur. Great character.

Right? Arthur had some of the best lines! Every time he yelled ‘BY ORDER OF THE PEAKY BLINDERS’ I felt that in my soul.
