It's even better than all of the hype and love it gets as more and more people are watching it and loving it. It's quickly becoming one of the better shows ever created. If you want to see how loved this show really is all you have to do is read through some of the reviews or look at the ratings.

Peaky Blinders is without a doubt one of my favorite tv shows of all-time. I wanted to watch this after seeing the trailers and then I heard so many people talking about how great this show was, literally everyone I know who saw it loved it so it raised my expectations even more. When a show is as loved as this one is it rarely lives up to the expectations. Well, Peaky Blinders not only met those expectations but surpassed them in every way possible. The acting and writing is what makes this show so special but the attention to detail they put into every aspect of this show is amazing. This series will hook you from the very first episode and hold on throughout the entire series. It just takes you into their world for you to enjoy. I can not recommend this show enough.

I watched every second of all six series of Peaky Blinders and at no point did I think: "Wow. This would make a really good dance work!" I don't believe Benoit Swan Pouffer did either. What I think happened is that the artistic director of Rambert was looking for a story that would extend his dance company's reach beyond the usual narratives, chanced upon the hugely popular saga of the violent Shelby family and thought: "Aha!"
The resulting story, premiered to a hugely enthusiastic Birmingham audience, isn't bad. But never once does it feel felt or earned; it's all surface and no depth, a marketing person's fantasy, not an engaging work.
The opening promises more than it ultimately delivers. Tommy Shelby's first world war gang of tunnellers emerge on stage from down low, pulling themselves upright into a phalanx of the damaged, shoulders twitching, eyes wide. Natasha Chivers's lighting, moody and magnificent, surrounds them in swirls of yellowish smoke.
The one quality in Peaky Blinders that really does lend it to dance in the first place is the strength of its characters Then there's a voiceover, intoned by poet and series regular Benjamin Zephaniah: "You young men of the tunnelling brigade, you are all dead ... condemned to a life without a soul." And we're off into the heavy chains and falling sparks of the industrial landscape of the Black Country, dominated by a grotesque factory foreman and women whose sharp elbows and quick marching steps demonstrate how invaluable they've been to the country while the men are gone.

Peaky Blinders is one of those shows that grabs you and doesn't let go. The combination of gritty drama, incredible performances, and stunning cinematography makes it unforgettable. Cillian Murphy is phenomenal as Tommy Shelby-he's intense, calculated, and completely magnetic. The entire Shelby family dynamic is fascinating, with every character adding depth and drama to the story. The period setting is brought to life vividly. The tense confrontations, the twists, the quiet moments of reflection, this show nails it all. I'm so stoked for the movie and wish this show had even more story to tell because it is superb.
