PEAKY BLINDERS REVIEW
Peaky Blinders Is Visually Spectacular, strating off with the astonisging costumes, the props and the overall storylines, the show it's incredible, one of a kind.
The Shelby clan has grown into an empire as Tommy and his family have control over the movements of massive million-dollar drug shipments and have influence in global politics and finance. What began as the story of a back-alley gang in Birmingham's Small Heath neighborhood—who made their living by fixing horse races, committing petty theft, and fighting local rivals for territory—has seen the Shelby clan grow into an empire. In the later seasons of the series, notable historical figures such as Oswald Mosley, Diana Mitford, and even Winston Churchill play significant roles in the plot. Tommy also becomes a member of Parliament, and the Birmingham Urban District Council rather than the Peaky [Expletive] Blinders is more likely to issue orders.
Ambition would describe the lead chacrter Thomas Shelby, who's affradid of failure and limitation, Cilian Murphy captures it's essence remarklby with a thick accent and a killer attitude. How about a larger story? Well, this has happened before. Tommy would be finished, the monsters will be defeated, and he can put his life of remorseless crime aside and rest after he does one final awful act, commits one last crime, chops off one last piece of his soul, and betrays one more person he claims to love. By the way, this is basically the plot of every season of Peaky Blinders, but the sixth one amplifies the pain by pitting Tommy against a gang of individuals who genuinely want to commit genocide, effectively making him the lesser of two evils. I guess it's go Shelbys!
It is well acted and well directed and employs that meticulous attention to detail, but has yet to prove itself especially distinctive narratively. Everything from the colours, sets, costumes, editing and cinematography is swoon-worthy right. Peaky Blinders takes the liberty to be mystical, lyrical and a visual treat.
