By order of the Peaky Blinders



Im not aficionate of movies or series, however this year’s im loving that a
really good, is called Peaky Blinders; it’s an English television series of historical drama, created by Steven Knight the series features Cillian Murphy.
The focuses of history is in a family Islander, of gypsy origin, they are Gansters involved in horse racing, and arms trafficking, among other things.

It is set in Birmingham in the inter-war period, The argument is based on the actions of gang boss Tommy Shelby catch the eye of the policeman Chester Campbell, a detective of the Royal Irish Police who is sent by Winston Churchill from Belfast to Birmingham where he had been sent to cleanse the city of rebels and criminals.


Another factor that particularly stands out in this series, is the very successful scenography, the details in wardrobe, the ornamentation of time and the crude scenes that allow us to have a rapprochement of the cities of Europe in the context of between wars.
The series has 5 seasons, being the last one recently premiered and being acclaimed by the cinematographic critic, in addition a curious fact about this series, is that the gang of gypsies, is inspired in a real band that existed during those years, which also was called Peaky Blinders.
Finally, I think it is a series that I would recommend for those who have not seen it, and could even be used as pedagogical material for history classes, due to its accurate representation of those historical conflicts.
