My all-time favorite TV show this past year has been the Netflix Original Series PEAKY BLINDERS starring Cillian Murphy. I finished seasoned 3 (like a marathon) a few months ago and I'm dying for the next season to come out. t's an incredibly intellectually stimulating and subtly educational series revolved around a gangster family doing what they gotta' do to make their way out of hard times in Birmingham, England.
The setting is post First World War, filled with poverty and political corruption. The lead character (my personal heart throb) Thomas Shelby played by Cillian Murphy, drags his brothers and aunt through life threatening situations in order to build themselves up in the business world and make a name for themselves.
Through romantic side stories and deep European History, Peaky Blinders takes you to another world of culture. I feel so stimulated when watching it because it isn't the easiest story to follow and you have to pay close attention to the details and foreshadowing to understand it.
I recommend this show to everyone I know, almost as a challenge, to see if they can follow along and appreciate the amazing plot that unfolds as the gang The Peaky Blinders make their way through the cold world.
