'Peaky Blinders' Season 5: Three main factors that contributed to making Steven Knight's show a cult classic
Things go very wrong with periodical dramas especially if it is based on a historical event or a historical figure. Fortunately, BBC One's 'Peaky Blinders' has managed to do away with all the unnecessary virtues of periodical dramas and has become renowned as a cult classic. Let's not confuse cult classics with fan favorites though since cult classics usually pull in this mass of people who practically become part of the cult with their fandom. That is precisely what happened with creator Steven Knight's show, and it is this one cult where you will find famed personalities, such as David Beckham, and the late Leonard Cohen and David Bowie, spend all their fortune to establish themselves as the rightful followers.
There are reasons, why in spite of being a periodical drama rather grave in tone, and serious in approach, 'Peaky Blinders' has managed to draw so many fans. Let's take a look at the top three reasons how the show just has the perfect ingredients of a cult classic.
