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.

Started off as a very good series, but later went downhill when 'magic' (or something similar) became involved.....

Cillian Murphy is a great actor, and excellent in every film/series in which I've seen him appear.

The main character's mother is a Roma. They just went into all their traditions and superstitions. There was nothing supernatural in the way you're implying lol
