Peaky Blinders is an epic gangster drama set in the lawless streets of post-war Birmingham on the cusp of the 1920s. Cillian Murphy stars as Thomas Shelby, the controller one of the city's most feared and successful criminal organisations, the Peaky Blinders, known for their practice of sewing razor blades into the peaks of their caps. But Shelby's ambitions go beyond running the streets. Crime pays, but business pays better.
