did the peaky blinders exist
Costume designer Stephanie Collie keeps everything as accessible as possible. Although the Peaky Blinders gang did exist (so called because they hid razor blades in their caps), this isnât a history lesson or social realism, itâs a Hollywood movie spread out across six episodes.etâs get this straight: Peaky Blinders is not Boardwalk Empire. Itâs a post World War I gangster drama, during roughly the same time period (1919 as opposed to the early 20âs), itâs gritty, features loyal yet warring brothers, is as cool as ice chips and doesnât pull any punches.
