Peaky Blinders is about an old British gang from 1919, during the American “Great Depression.” The show gradually introduces you to each of the most prominent characters throughout the entire series. It progresses through different interactions with each character, whether it’s a gang affiliation or a personal relationship.
When it comes to details, they love to let their audience be involved in “every” part of their lives. Although this could turn some of the viewers away, it allows for unique rabbit trails for each of the characters and their development. When it comes to action-filled scenes, they have definitely mastered the angles and realism of the conflicts throughout the whole series.
One of the Peaky Blinders’ most annoying, yet anxiety-causing attractions, is how they leave every episode on a cliffhanger. The episodes have a lengthy time of around one hour each, so there is a lot of information that leaves the viewer wanting more.
Although this can be frustrating as the episodes are never quite finished, it’s great to attract and keep their audiences’ attention. This led to me personally watching so much and wanting to see the next episode immediately. This did get rather irritating, especially as the final episode in the series was a massive cliffhanger and really left many on edge, only for there to be nothing left.
However, despite the notorious endings, they have great personal development for each character. Each of the endings in the episodes allows the fans to envision what exactly is going to happen to the character next. The characters are very valuable in each of their own stories, which allows them to bring more interest to the show.
Overall, I very much enjoyed Peaky Blinders. This is an amazing and involving series that quite literally sucks the audience into the show.
