Peaky Blinders: Series 1

Set in Birmingham, England in 1919, the series follows the Shelby crime family shortly after the end of the First World War. The family is led by the ambitious and dangerous Tommy Shelby, who runs a fierce street gang known as the 'Peaky Blinders'—so named for the razor blades sewn into the peaks of their caps. Tommy's primary ambitions are disrupted when a massive cache of military arms goes missing, drawing the unwanted attention of the British government and Winston Churchill. To root out the stolen weapons and clean up the city, Churchill dispatches the ruthless Chief Inspector Chester Campbell from Belfast. Complicating matters further is the arrival of Grace Burgess, a mysterious new barmaid at the Garrison pub with her own hidden agenda. As the series progresses, Tommy navigates a treacherous landscape of local gang warfare, communist uprisings, and dangerous underworld bosses like Billy Kimber. The conflict tests the loyalty of the Shelby family and forces Tommy to play a high-stakes chess match against law enforcement and rival syndicates, establishing his brutal rise to power in post-war Britain.
