4 Ways Peaky Blinders Does not Portray Reality

4. Razor Hats

The iconic hats with sewed in razor blades that you had to have to be a Peaky Blinder is actually a myth. There's no evidence that the gang used these. 

3. Corruption


The show has portrayed Birmingham as a city controlled by the Mafia and full of corruption in the 1890s, but this is also far from reality. As there were different gangs in Birmingham at that time, none were as powerful as the peaky blinders gang we see in the show.

2. The Irish Policeman


Just like in the show there was an Irish Police man in reality at the time of the peaky blinders who did try to stop them, but only that in reality he was successful in taking them down, than dying off of a woman's hand (Aunt Polly) as shown in the show. 

1. Hate, and Alot of it


 This is how some people who have read Birmingham's history would describe the peoples  feelings about the Peaky Blinders in the 1890's. People hated the Peaky Blinders unlike in the show and this hate and a social boycott was one of the reasons the gang disappeared after a few years.

So he is a damn good reason to watch this show. 3. Great Cinematography Thankfully we live in an era where TV shows are not taken lightly and have huge budgets, this show is no different except that you really see that the money has been put to some good use. The cinematography throughout the show is spectacular and is definit...

10 Reasons Breaking Bad is the Greatest Series of all time

10. Simple Setting  Over the years all of us have loved from time to time crazy plots, ranging from epic futuristic sci-fi movies and tv shows to very violent gangster themes but sometimes nothing sounds better than a good old fashioned chemistry teacher gone BAD. This is one of the reasons I am in so love with breaking bad, that it has the simplest background story turned into such carnage. In a time when you have shows like the Game of Thrones, West world, Peaky Blinders and The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad gives you that simple drama like homely feel with a lot of action and crime that you yearn for. 9. Great Acting  Its fair to say that the acting jobs by all the actors in the TV show has been quite phenomenal and it'll be very wrong to applaud for any one of them and forget the others. Everyone in this show has done an amazing job but I really have to say that Aaron Paul was one actor that you really have to love if youre watching this series. The crazy Char...
