Season 6 Review: The beginning of the end of one of the great British TV drama achievements of recent years is as movingly intimate, cinematically ambitious and sweepingly epic as ever. Read full review

Season 6 Review: Rest assured that the final series is a worthy testament to this outstanding actress [Helen McCrory, who died last spring], and the character she created. Read full review

Season 4 Review: When you enlist in the Peaky Blinders army you can expect a lion’s share of brawls, bullets, and broads. What most don’t anticipate is an irresistible ensemble performing immaculately as a collective, delivering an absorbing, visceral story entrenched within imposing production and costume design. These attributes are precisely what has made Steven Knight’s period crime-drama startup so successful, now four seasons deep with a fifth on the way. Viewers will soon find out that the latest six-episode story arc is no slouch and even though nothing of what has made Peaky Blinders a hit has changed. Read full review

Season 5 Review: By focusing on Tommy's deteriorating mental state, the cost of continued violence, and the interpersonal relationships of the Shelby family and how everything they touch eventually turns to ash rather than simply relying on yet more forgettable villains for conflict, Peaky Blinders is a better, more complete family saga than it has been in recent years.

Season 6 Review: This was the Peaky Blinders we have fallen in love with over the past nine years – a dark, gloomy, tense, intricately planned (but never too complicated) show, full of exceptional performances and the underhand machinations of a loveable rogue gangster. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It’s a respectable but chilly effort, fine for those who choose to invest the time but hardly a loss should one turn a blind eye. Read full review

Its a vey good series. Its a drama that content violence, sex and drugs all of these because is based on a urban street gang in Birmingham, England, from the end of the 19th century and after the First World War. The series capture perfectly the time that they want to represent.

This might be my favorite show on Netflix. I have watched it since season one and have never stopped. I really enjoy the characters and how the story unfolds.

The best series I've seen so far, I've seen breaking bad and it's fabulous, but peaky blinders is still the best for me, for the performances, setting, scenery, cast, each actor is tremendously good, the roles are chosen perfectly, without doubt the best series is a gem from start to finish.The best series I've seen so far, I've seen breaking bad and it's fabulous, but peaky blinders is still the best for me, for the performances, setting, scenery, cast, each actor is tremendously good, the roles are chosen perfectly, without doubt the best series is a gem from start to finish. 100% recommendable.… Expand

Well, that's a hell of a hit with me. I love mafia, gangster or just crime themes as such and thus it's no wonder I fell in love with the Peaky Blinders series. The setting of the time, the style of the characters' clothes, the cars and the setting. All of that made the series incrediblyWell, that's a hell of a hit with me. I love mafia, gangster or just crime themes as such and thus it's no wonder I fell in love with the Peaky Blinders series. The setting of the time, the style of the characters' clothes, the cars and the setting. All of that made the series incredibly appealing to me. But it's not the only thing it excels at so much. The main characters of the gang are, in my opinion, absolutely brilliant and mostly Tommy and Arthur are perhaps the most distinctive and for me were the most interesting. Cillian Murphy does an excellent job here for me and would deserve an Oscar for his role in this series. All of this is enhanced by the excellent script and camera work, where I was more than once impressed by the quality of various scenes. For me, an amazing series that I recommend.… Expand

Another overhyped BBC drama. Very average show stopped watching after season 2 as it was so repetitive.
