Peaky Blinders follows the Shelby family, a gang that thrived after World War I.
Peaky Blinders (2013) is one of the best-known British productions by the public — and follows the family Shelby, a gang that thrived after the First World War. However, the story on which the series was based can generate some controversies, and, with that, the historian Carl Chinn criticized the series.
In an interview with BBC Breakfast, chin explained that he doesn’t think it’s right for people to admire the gang, since in reality it’s a criminal group. “They faced the police, but they also attacked workers and fought each other,” said the historian.
chin He added: “One of these Peaky Blinders it was my great-grandfather Edward Derrick, a really unpleasant man. He was arrested for various crimes, but in my opinion, his worst crime was the violence committed against my great-grandmother. The gang is not to be admired!”
In addition, the historian complained about the imprecision story of the series: “The real Peaky Blinders were not a Birmingham gang in the 1920s. In fact, Peaky Blinder is a generic term used to describe the criminals of the region in the late 19th century.”
Peaky Blinders Future
Peaky Blinders premiered in 2013 and became one of the most popular series in the Netflix — the five seasons are available in the streaming catalog. Although the sixth season will be the last, the narrative will only end with a movie, as the creator of the production told, Steven Knightpreviously.
Knight explained that filming on the feature film will only begin in 2023: “I’m going to write the movie that will be set and filmed in Birmingham. And that’s probably going to be kind of the end of the road for Peaky Blinders as we know it,” he declared.
