A British drama about a criminal organization called Peaky Blinders, who worked in Birmingham during a period of social chaos after the first world war, and the Shelby family of Gypsy descent leading it

.

The most well-known hypothesis about the gang name Peaky Blinders is that it blinds the opponent with a razor blade hidden in a hat, and the word “Peaky” is said to mean a kind of flat cap worn by the main characters in the drama, and “Blinders” was a slang for gang.
