The Birmingham setting of Peaky Blinders broke the London-centric mold of British gangster genres in TV and film. The show's focus on Birmingham culture and history gives it a unique and authentic touch. Peaky Blinders showcases that London isn't the only British city with a dark underworld of gangsters.
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.
