|THE DEN|
The crime series of six seasons ‘Peaky Blinders’, will take you to the dark streets of Birmingham of the 1900s. The show revolves around a gangster family who sew razor blades in the peaks of their caps. It’s the perfect blend of story, acting, dialogues, background music, romance and what not. This show will convince you to act like suited Shelbys and will make you speak in their cockney accent.
Moreover, Peaky Blinders may be a fictional story of the Birmingham underworld of London but it is based on the very real existence of a gang by the same name based in the Midlands in the late nineteenth century. Finally, the final season premiered on February 27 on BBC one and is also set to release on Netflix in upcoming June.
Let’s know more about some of the most loved characters;
Cillian Murphy AKA Thomas Shelby AKA Tommy
"I'm Just An Extreme Example Of What A Working Man Can Achieve."
This mysterious character is infatuating as he is terrifying, and everyone can’t help but love him. He is the leader of the Shelby family for a reason - and fans can't get enough of this likable character. He has many flaws, but his strengths, bravery, intelligence, and devotion are unmatched. Tommy knows how to keep his calm even in the most panic-inducing situations. He is ruthless, stoic, hell intelligent, calculative and ambitious. Tommy is one man you don’t want to cross. He knows how to carry himself with his famous hairstyle and suits.
Paul Anderson AKA Arthur Shelby
"This Place Is Under New Management, By Order Of The Peaky Blinders."
Arthur is the eldest among all four Shelby brothers. He is portrayed as the most coldhearted, ruthless and extremely violent character yet he is loyal and brave and he actually has a huge heart. He isn't the best at making patient and good decisions, but his intentions are usually in the right place. Some people dislike him, others hate him but he has that respect. Arthur tries hard to be stronger than he is and pushes away his vulnerabilities, in spite of being aware of them and that is what makes him endearing to fans.
Helen McCroy AKA Polly Gray
"Don't F*** With The Peaky Blinders !”
Aunt Polly is often the glue that keeps the Shelby family together. She is a fearless, fierce, smart, strong, respected and brave woman. She is just amazing as she doesn't let these 'strong' men walk all over her just because she's a woman. She is a compassionate, harsh and impatient lady. She often makes pretty important decisions for Peaky Blinders.
Annabelle Wills AKA Grace Burgess
"I Warn You. I'll Break Your Heart."
Sadly, Grace is killed in season three but this character will always have a special place in every fan's heart. Grace always knew what to do, and while she was willing to make tough choices - she always had good intentions. It's no secret why Tommy fell in love with her. She was an Irish barmaid and secretly operated agent. She came to the Garrison Pub for employment in order to get close to Thomas Shelby to expose him albeit later she fell in love with him.
