Britain is a mixture of despair and hedonism in 1919 in the aftermath of the Great War. Returning soldiers, newly minted revolutions and criminal gangs are fighting for survival in a nation rocked by economic upheaval. One of the most powerful gangs of the time is the Peaky Blinders, run by returning war hero Thomas Shelby and his family. But Thomas has bigger ambitions than just running the streets. When a crate of guns goes missing, he recognizes an opportunity to advance in the world because crime may pay but legitimate business pays better. Trying to rid Britain of its crime is Inspector Chester Campbell, who arrives from Belfast to try to achieve that goal.

Sarah Hughes Guardian This is a drama at that imperious stage where it's hard to go wrong -- confident in its storytelling, secure in its character development and trusting the audience to join them. Jan 23, 2018 Full Review Deborah Ross Daily Mail (UK) Peaky Blinders is an easy series to admire, as it's literate, great looking and great sounding (the Nick Cave soundtrack is sublime) yet I cannot like it, let alone love it. Rated: 3/5 Aug 31, 2017 Full Review Christopher Hooton Independent (UK) With its billowing smokestacks, moody lighting and charred scenery, Peaky Blinders puts every penny it has to good use, and more than stands up when watched back to back with a Game of Thrones or a Mad Men. Apr 27, 2016 Full Review James Walton The Spectator A highly efficient piece of entertainment, full of inventive storytelling and heroically unafraid to go over the top when necessary - which is apparently quite often. Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Euan Ferguson Observer (UK) This terrific series has many strengths, not least the music, but one standout is the unflinching way in which it contrasts the worlds of power and money with the grubby, ripped fingernails of appalling violence necessary to achieve them. Jan 23, 2018 Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant One thing Peaky Blinders does well is to keep several pots simmering... season 3 has done a remarkable job getting all those posts arranged and steaming away, while still giving the series and its characters a welcome sense of progression.

Ava S “somehow palpatine returned” somehow this season was better than the first two (HOW IN THE WORLD BRO) you know I must just give this five stars but like… ah f it five stars it deserves also amazing soundtrack Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Martin F An amazing season! You can still easily get lost in the storyline if you miss this important information from one of the numerous dialogues but this season gives us more of "show don't tell" with characters sensationally resolving their problem. There's more treason, fights, and missions. Tommy is richer and more powerful than ever and the stakes really follow this evolution. Tatiana as a character was very frustrating, her Manic Pixie Dream Girl personality doesn't fit with the show, they want the viewers to like her craziness and unpredictability but it feels forced. The final episode is an ambitious rollercoaster, way above the level we were used to having with the show, and one of the best finales from any show. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Savannah G This is a show that is now almost impossible to go wrong- the strength and the weakness of family portrayed! and the out-of-pocket turns in the story truly incredible. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review John F Shallow and superficial, with poor writing and a cast missing key characters from earlier seasons (namely Neill, Goldberg, and Riley) who could have helped make up the difference, while new additions to the cast are unable to help. Perhaps the best case in point is the addition of Gaite Jansen as Tatiana Petrovna: she is captivating but the material lets her down, reducing her character and the other Russians to a stereotype with little to no character development. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/13/24 Full Review Audience Member After watching this, my mind is made up that Cillian Murphy is one of the best actors of all time. I love the other roles he's played in various films but this performance is stunning. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Edward F Definitely not as good as seasons 1 and 2. There were times I was bored watching it, and times I was disgusted with it. The plot was too convoluted. However, Fr. John Hughes was a good villain, so props for that.
