Peaky Blinders
Overview
By order of the Peaky Blinders. Thomas Shelby builds a Birmingham street gang into a criminal empire in the aftermath of World War I, and Cillian Murphy plays him with ice in his veins. The show looks like a moving oil painting — flat caps, smoke, razor blades sewn into brims. It starts as a gangster drama and becomes something closer to Shakespeare. Give it three episodes; you'll be quoting it by five.
