Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby holding a gun in Peaky Blinders
Summary Until Peaky Blinders came along with its Birmingham-based gangland action, most British gangster films and TV shows were set in and around London. Peaky Blinders revolves around the criminal activities of the titular gang in the immediate aftermath of World War I. The gang was loosely based on a real urban youth gang of the same name, who were active in the city of Birmingham from the 1880s to the 1910s.
Peaky Blinders Finally Moved The British Gangster Genre Away From London Peaky Blinders is inherently a show about Birmingham Peaky Blinders is inherently a show about Birmingham: Birmingham culture, industry, people, etc. It’s a rare example of a renowned British gangster story that doesn’t take place in the capital. Almost every notable British gangster movie and TV show, from Gangs of London to Once Upon a Time in London, is set in London.
The City Of Birmingham Is Integral To Peaky Blinders Birmingham isn't just a setting in Peaky Blinders Birmingham isn’t just a setting in Peaky Blinders; it informs the characters and their stories. The city of Birmingham is as intrinsically tied to Peaky Blinders as New York is to Seinfeld, or Baltimore is to The Wire. The culture and the history and the inner workings of the city are the backbone of Peaky Blinders’ drama.
