'Peaky Blinders': How Linda Shelby transformed from a God-fearing mother to a cocaine-snorting chick

Linda's transformation from a God-fearing woman to an unruly wife is just another example of the kind of dominance the Shelbys have over the people around them
PUBLISHED MAR 27, 2019

Nobody can be, or is rather not allowed to be, a pure soul when it comes to the Shelbys of 'Peaky Blinders'. Helmed from creator Steven Knight's memories of his grandfather as a Peaky Blinder, the BBC One show follows the plight of the Shelby family. The Shelbys control almost everything in Birmingham and with their notorious army of Peaky Blinders, their habitual activities include gambling, prostitution, and at least three murders every night. Even the women of the Shelby family are known for the unconventional approach towards life as they walk alongside the men of the family and not behind them. However, in all of this, there was only one exceptional Shelby, Arthur's (Paul Anderson) wife Linda (Kate Philips).
