Reviews (2)
Perfect rhythm, balanced leading characters, impressive locations and sets. So far, Peaky Blinders looks like a very focused gangster drama and hopefully it will continue to be so.

I am currently very much enjoying the story, but the creators inexplicably save on action, it's all gangs here, but when it comes to violence, usually the police led by Inspector Campbell are involved, which is really strange. It seems that the creators have opted for a path of tactics, intrigue, and manipulation. Aunt Polly has started to really interest me, I hope it lasts for her.
