Despite its stellar execution, as time passes, certain details stand out in a new light.

This contrasting yet complementary feature of the show was blatantly genius.

This could be perceived either way by audiences.

As time went on, the soundtrack definitely could have changed a little more.

High-energy guitar riffs clash with the eras subdued pace which underscores overall authenticity in thePeaky Blindersworld.

Overall these music choices can leave fans of the franchise confused.

Either way,it’s up to personal taste.

Many know him as Tommy Shelby, the commander of practically every scene in the show.

His presence consistently looms and overshadows other talented actors in the ensemble.

This says a couple of different things.

The best Cillian Murphy movies and TV shows feature some fantastic releases, but some are better than others.

In later seasons, it’s especially prominent, withThomas Shelby producing a majority of the quotesand dialogue.

The show could evolve with a stronger display of other characters developments (which are mostly off-screen).

However, some sets dont resonate as much as others.

Factories appear squeaky clean under stark lighting which clashes with the shows gritty narrative.

Modern influences also creep in at points.

With some accuracy at stake, creative flair is able to flourish in the show.

This stylized blend of vintage grit and subtle modernity may leave period drama enthusiasts quaking in their trousers.

However, it also leaves the vast majority of others entertained with production value exceeding the plots period.

Stakes are exponentially higher and showdowns dont happen unless they are teetering the line of sheer catastrophe.

Dramatic cliffhangers and last-minute twists are standard fare.

There’s no shortage of peril.

In Peaky Blinders' finale, Tommy Shelby sees a vision of his daughter Ruby that ultimately saves him.

But do ghosts really exist in Peaky Blinders?

The jumps definitely maintain momentum.

Theres no doubt about that.

However, they also risk glossing over pivotal character arcs.

This makes major plotlines feel rushed.

It cushions the impact of revelations yet contributes to the swift, cinematic vibe that definesPeaky Blinders.

Contrary to this belief, theres a frequent blend of fiction that creates fantasy yet blurs reality.

No matter what, it’s up to the individual to decide what they value more.

Peaky Blinders' historical accuracy is a part of what has made the show so popular.

But how historically accurate is Peaky Blinders, really?

Continuously, the series prioritizes drama over factual detail as gangs operate with near-impunity in postwar England.

This certainly adds flair.

However, actual crime rings faced stiffer hurdles.

This might come across as glamorous on-screen, but it also borders on parody.

Rewatching highlights show just how integral cigarettes have become to Peaky Blinders aesthetic.

Outnumbered or outmaneuvered, the family always finds a way to scramble out of danger.

The pattern begins to feel a little predictable which overall takes some tension away.

The true vulnerability only emerges briefly and at points.

Characters routinely display comfort for bloodshed which creates the inevitable moral landscape in which brutality is the norm.

In early seasons, violence often underscores the Shelbys struggle for survival.

Key locations like the Garrison Pub and Charlie Strongs yard dominate the shows setting.

However, this zoned-in focus makes the city seem a lot smaller than it actually is.

The Garrison Pub, a central location inPeaky Blinders, was actually filmed in Liverpool, not Birmingham.

Maybe the tunnel vision prominent within the storyline and set is purposely integrated to achieve a desired cinematic effect.

No matter what,Peaky Blinderswill forever remain a timeless show.

It just has some questionable aspects that are interesting to consider, strictly out of love for the franchise.
