Peaky Blinders It's no secret that many at POPSUGAR are massive fans of Peaky Blinders, which is set in Birmingham just after World War I (it's quite refreshing to see a city-based period drama that isn't set in London). The show is about a family of criminal gangsters, and stars Cillian Murphy as the charismatic head of the family, Tommy Shelby. Don't make plans once you start watching this — you'll cancel them three episodes in. Watch it on Netflix. Image Source: Everett Collection
