Every 'Peaky Blinders' fan needs to watch Cinemax's upcoming show 'Warrior'. Here's why

Both shows are set in the periods surrounding the First World War, and the war's looming hysteria is quite prominent in the storylines.

Men in waistcoats and tight suits, women in fancy hats and slender sleeves, and crime which is always sugarcoated with justifiable reasons behind their execution are just the perfect ingredients of a crime drama. However, what adds charm to all those edgy scenes and heart-stopping action, is a periodical background, and let's just say BBC One's 'Peaky Blinders' has it all. Creator Steven Knight's crime drama, which talks about gang wars, illegal gambling, prostitution, and a ready defiance of the law, has for the longest time ruled as a kind of its own. However, pretty soon Cinemax is about to drop its own bombshell, coming from creator Jonathan Tropper and based on Bruce Lee's writings, 'Warrior'. 

A lot like 'Peaky Blinders', 'Warrior' sees characters who are set against the pre-world war America, a time when the nation was just building itself up. It was also a time when there was an influx of immigrants from all over the world, who had made their way to the new world in order to make a fortune for themselves. However, with white supremacy crawling into the nation's diplomacy, immigrants were sidelined as mere slaves, but that is not what 'Warrior' is about. 'Warrior' tells the story of fearlessness, virtue transforming to violence, and above all, the show finding its roots in the infamous Tong Wars of the late 19th Century Chinatown. So what is so similar between the show representing Chinese immigrants in America and the show representing Irish immigrants in England?
