Peaky Blinders Trailer #1

BBC shows have caught our attention in the past with Luther, Top Boy. Now they have an recently unveiled “Peaky Blinders”;an epic gangster family saga that begins in 1919 in the lawless slum neighborhoods of post-war Birmingham. The plot centers around returning soldiers, newly-minted revolutionaries and criminal gangs all fight for survival in an industrial landscape gripped by economic upheaval. Guns smuggled home from the trenches find their way onto the streets and become lethal currency. Communists don’t just dream of revolution they are planning for it and the government is expecting it. As Churchill mobilizes his Special Branch forces, illegal bookmakers make fortunes in speak-easy betting shops and traumatized infantrymen drink away their shell shock in riotous ale houses.
