Peaky Blinders follows the Shelby crime family in 1920s Birmingham. Created by Steven Knight, it stars Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby, the calculating gang leader. The show's stylish cinematography, anachronistic soundtrack featuring modern music, and sharp writing set it apart. While initially a BBC series, Netflix international distribution made it a global phenomenon. The show explored post-WWI trauma, ambition, and family loyalty. Its influence on fashion, particularly the revival of newsboy caps and vintage suits, has been significant.
