• Setting: Begins in 1919, in the deprived, industrial area of Small Heath, Birmingham. The UK is reeling from the aftermath of the First World War, with widespread social and political unrest.
• The Gang: The series follows the exploits of the Shelby family and their gang, the Peaky Blinders. The name is loosely based on a real urban youth gang that operated in Birmingham from the 1880s to the 1920s.
• Aesthetic & Style: The show is instantly recognizable for its distinctive, dark, and stylish aesthetic. The signature look of the gang members includes:
• Peaked Flat Caps: Said to conceal razor blades stitched into the peak (though this is more myth/fictionalized).
• Waistcoats and Tailored Suits.
• Wool overcoats and heavy boots.
• Plot Progression: The narrative is a gangster family epic. It tracks the Shelby family's rise from running illegal bookmaking and protection rackets in the slums of Birmingham to becoming wealthy businessmen, expanding their criminal empire across Britain, and eventually gaining political influence, even interacting with major historical figures.
