The peaky blinders is a Netflix series of which I
became totally fanatical. I watched the four seasons in six days, and I look
forward to season five that opens next year. But I would like to explain why I
liked this series so much. First of all, a historical series takes place in the
context of the end of the first world war in England, showing how the country
rises after the "great war" and the psychological problems presented
by the men who fought in it.
It also shows the repression suffered by the Irish
movement, for demanding the independence of England and the repression of
communism in Europe. Another important issue that the series shows is the role
of the woman who can now afford and have an opinion in society. The series is a
mixture of historical, criminal and love fiction. The perfect mix.
