Set in post-World War I Birmingham, Peaky Blinders follows the Shelby crime family and their ruthless leader Tommy Shelby as they build a criminal empire from their roots as a street gang who sew razor blades into their flat caps. Across six series spanning the 1920s and into the eve of World War II, the show traces Tommy's ascent through British politics and organised crime while contending with rival gangs, fascists, and his own demons.
