'Peaky Blinders' is already creating quite the buzz even before the show resumes for a fifth season in late Spring. The Steven Knight created-show starring Cillian Murphy (as Thomas Shelby), Paul Anderson (as Arthur Shelby), Helen McCrory (as Aunt Polly) and Sophie Rundle (as Ada Shelby) follows the infamous Birmingham gang who use their blinder caps to slit the eyes of their enemies. Set in the earlier decades of the 1900s 'Peaky Blinders' is an adapted tale of Knight's ancestors who were notoriously known as the Peaky Blinders for their fabled bohemian lifestyle and their disreputable actions such as murder and theft.
