What next on Netflix? Watch Excellent Series Peaky Blinders
Peaky Blinders happens to be one of the best crime drama shows on Netflix, with a rating of 8.8 on IMDB. It has sex, violence, drugs, foul language, and thus it is strictly meant for an audience over 18 years of age. The story revolves around a crime family and its kingpin Thomas “Tommy” Shelby, played by Cillian Murphy.
Cillian Murphy as Tom Shelby
Thomas “Tommy” Shelby
In the story, he rises to power from nothing. Thomas Shelby happens to be the most focused, cunning, and strong-willed man. He alone, because of his brilliant mind and strategies, can save the family from its enemies.
His aunt Polly Gray is his right hand. Other trusted council members are his brothers Arthur, John, and Finn Shelby, and his sister Ada Thorne.
While serving in the British Army, Sargent Major Thomas Shelby, Arthur and John were awarded medals for their bravery; now, they are veterans.
The Bad Copper
Sam Neill as Ulster Protestant Irish police Inspector, Chester Campbell. Being a murderer, rapist, and blackmailer makes him one of those characters in the series that one would hate to his guts.
He is sent to Small Heath Birmingham from Belfast for the investigation of a missing consignment of weapons.
He is later promoted to Major, as he succeeds in the mission.
A Brilliant Show
Viewers hate Major Campbell because of the sheer brilliance shown by Sam Neill through his acting skills. He completely understood the character and thus portrayed him well. We have seen him in many other movies but, Jurassic Park was at another level.
Other main characters of the show are introduced in the later seasons. Main leads like Michael Gray, Alfred “Alfie” Solomons, Aberama Gold, Luca Changretta, and Linda Shelby are just a few.
All the actors in the series performed exceptionally well. It would be unfair to rate one higher than the other. The intensity of their feelings of pain, suffering, happiness, anger, rage, and loneliness depicts in their eyes. Their body language approves their state of mind, and because of that viewer gets emotionally attached to the characters.
Every character in the series has a detailed explanation about its origin; that does not break the story. On the contrary, these stories make the show more interesting. It is an example of excellent story writing, screenplay, casting, and direction.
