Yes, although it should also be noted that it is only loosely based on the real gang. The plot is entirely fictional, and the real Peaky Blinders were (ironically) taken down by Billy Kimber's Birmingham Boys.

In name only. The rest of the story is completely fiction. They were never a multi million dollar global crime family. They were just common street thugs.

This gonna be one hell of a journey

This show has me walking around everywhere saying "BY ORDER OF THE PEAKY BLINDERS"

The copper who's actor's name you can't think of is Sam Neill. Tommy's flashback was to the tunnel war in WWI. Both sides would dig tunnels under each other's trenches with the aim of either planting HUGE bombs under them (look up Messines Ridge to see what it looked like when that worked) or stopping the enemy from doing it to theirs. Sometimes teams of men from both sides would meet underground and then there'd be a fight in pitch blackness in four foot square tunnels with knives and shovels. Sometimes one side would tunnel _past_ the other and then plant a small bomb next to their tunnel that would collapse it and seal them in, leaving them to suffocate. If that's what Danny was doing htem it's no wonder he's got "shell shock" (PTSD). That would fry anyone's brain. I've only read a book about it and it made my skin crawl and gave me nightmares.

No freaking way. This is going to be a ride!!!!

I'm so glad I randomly started this series when the 1st season dropped on Netflix. What a journey. Also, glad Maple settled into doing an accent less than 5 minutes into the show. 😂

Love this! Please do the rest of the series. You guys will love it, and I'm here for every video!

I just finished Peaky Blinders for the first time a bit ago so I was pleasantly surprised to see y’all starting a reaction, woo!

YES! I adore this show! I hope you girls love it, it turned me into a massive Cillian fan and it’s been awesome seeing him get more recognition after winning the Oscar.

29:58 they came out swinging…And. It. Will. Never. Stop. All the way to the last episode. Love the ride and appreciate it when it’s over! ❤

You two are going to love this. Britain is a mixture of despair and hedonism in 1919 in the aftermath of the Great War (WWI). 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. Enjoy the rest of the series.

You two are going to love this show. Great casting, writing and set design. It’s a ride and it will be emotional. It’s going to be great watching your reaction to this epic series.

i wish i could rewatch peaky blinders for the first time again

I love that you're watching this series. It's one of the best TV shows I've ever seen

“By orrder orf the Peaky fuhkin’ Blinders”

This entire show is an emotional rollercoaster, and it's worth it!!!!!

Do them all !!!!!! You ain't gonna be disappointed. trust me. Personally, this is Cillian Murphy's best role.

As a proud Brummie from Small Heath this makes me so happy ❤❤❤

You guys are in for a serious treat with this show.

Oh yeah! This is going to be so much fun. This show is crazy good.

Just an FYI, the character of Polly, was based on the writers aunt.

Loved the entire series, I thought everyone did such a phenomenal job. All the Shelby, in particularly, did amazingly well, but I feel both Cillian and the man who plays his older brother were amazing.

Hi ladies. No spoilers from me, but I will tell you a couple of things. For one, I would rate this series up there with Deadwood and The Sopranos. This 1st episode was a lot, but it only gets better. As for the gangs name, The flat caps that were worn back then were known as peak caps or peakys. The gang made alterations to theirs and used them as weapons. Typically in a serious fight, they would strike at an opponents eyes. Thus, the Peaky Blinders. Like any really great series (or movie franchise), you will get invested in the characters. Most of them are what they seem, though Tommy is a brilliant strategist as well. So just buckle up and pay attention. By order of The Peaky Blinders. ; ))

@14:19 I've never tailored before but I've made a few shoes with help. With boots you start with a last which is usually a piece of wood in the shape of the void you want in your shoe. I've seen some cosplay folks make something like a last for clothes by making a semi ridged body cast out of cellophane and duct tape. After cutting themselves out, they stuffed the custom shape with paper. They then had a template to work from when choosing and testing patterns with paper or cheap cloth, and something to pin the material in place/shape when assembling the final design.

May have to rewatch this along with yall

I AM SO TOTALLY STOKED YOU GUYS ARE WATCHING THIS!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH ALONG WITH YOU, YOU'RE GONNA ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!!!! 👍👏😁😉

Aunt Polly is wonderful. She's played by the late, wonderful Helen McCrory - who I've always loved, because she looks like my partner (among a lot of other reasons) - and who I found recently was the wife of Damien Lewis (Winters in Band of Brothers)

My great-grandfather Arthur lived at 383 Bolton Road in Small Heath before he moved to Toronto in 1919, then St. Louis.

My grandfather was born in 1905 and he was the best, toughest, strongest, kindest when he could be, man ever. I can well believe some of this generation were this smart and tough.

Sam Neill is the cop from Jurassic Park, and he and Cillian Murphy absolutely rule in this show. The actress that played aunt Polly before she passed away suddenly a couple of years ago was married IRL to the actor that played Winters in Band of Brothers. I am so excited for the 2 of you to watch this show, it’s one of the best from the past decade by a mile. I know you’re gonna have a blast, and it’s gonna be great watching you experience it.

Wise choice to keep subtitles on. 👍

'Peaky Blinders' is definitely one of my fav BBC TV shows. Hope you LOVE it!❤

Great show. Very loosely based on a real gang from the 1880s-1920s. They were never some big crime family like they are portrayed in the show. Just common street thugs. Cillian does a great job but Tom Hardy really steals the show imo.

The funny thing is, back when they called it shell-shock, they treated it correctly...

Thanks for this:)

No matter how many times I see that "killing" scene with Danny, it moves me everytime. Even knowing it's a fakeout for the Italians, everytime 😭

I will never watch a gangster show but I watched PB because of Cillian Murphy. I have followed him since I saw him in Sunshine and so I watched PB and think PB is better than Games of Thrones, which is a big deal because I really like GOT even seasons 7 and 8 which most people hate.

Love the reactions, I'd recommend "Taboo" after this led by Tom Hardy.

It’s actually on the life of Tommy Shelby back in the days down the old brummies. Obviously it’s been tweak slightly but they were real bandits/gangsters.

Yes!

This series is loosely based on real gang, by the same name, but the actual family depicted here is fictional, and in reality, the real Peaky Blinders were mainly active around the 1890s and 1900s, and did not exist beyond 1920. Some characters such as Billy Kimber are real historical figures. This saga has been transposed slightly forward in order to be set against real notable events; the aftermath of the first world war, the Irish revolution, the attempted rise of fascism in Britain etc. I won't spoil anything by going into detail. It's a brilliant and fascinating show, one of the very best of modern times, that can often be very, very dark indeed, though brutal acts of violence are more often inferred than graphic. I'm sure you will enjoy it very much.

Fukking finally This notification made my day

Cillian Murphy is so good in this series but Helen McCrory as Polly Gray is the heart and soul of this show.

You guys have to watch mr inbetween it’s such a good show

its so FOCKING good

Very good choice. Still remember 3rd season 6th episode was too good.

Top 3 best shows of all time, at the very least one of the best characters ever.

The only gripe that I had about how they begin the story is the amount of exposition it takes to let the viewers know what's going on. Kind of necessary, I get it, but it feels like being spoon-fed at times. Such a gritty time in history.
