'Peaky Blinders' season 5 Episode 1: Thomas Shelby owns the premiere episode as fans call Cillian Murphy a 'masterpiece'

Season five of 'Peaky Blinders' is out! Fans couldn't help but rave about the new season. As expected, it gets better each time, just like its previous counterparts.

Season five of 'Peaky Blinders' just rolled out on BBC One and hardcore fans just can't stop talking about the new chapter titled 'Black Tuesday'. As usual, Cillian Murphy overshadowed others with his portrayal of the Shelby family leader Thomas Shelby, while Sam Claflin's Oswald Mosley has caught much attention too. In the series, Tommy's political career is seen growing as he gave a rousing speech in the House of Commons. However, the ghosts of his past soon threaten to undermine his position.

Along with an image of Murphy as Thomas Shelby, the official account of Peaky Blinders on Twitter teased a dialogue from the first episode: "The corridors of Westminster are very dimly lit, and for those who make the rules, there are no rules." Fans couldn't help but rave about the new season. As expected, it gets better each time, just like its previous counterparts. "Just started watching #PeakyBlinders and it’s amazing so far!!" one user wrote, while another said, "The cinematography gets better and better with each season." "I had missed everyone so much, I mean the acting? CHILLS excellent as usual. #PeakyBlinders," another one posted on the microblogging site.

Sharing another famous Shelby dialogue from the series, one user wrote: "And for those who make the rules, there are no rules." What's more, the show seems to be giving sleepless nights to some viewers. "Can't sleep or stop thinking about the 1st episode of #PeakyBlinders. Does this mean it's insomnia keeping me awake? Or the sharpness of Tommy Shelby's cheekbones?" one of them posted.

Teasing more clips from the first episode, BBC One posted a dialogue from the series where Tommy says, "No, I'm not God! Not yet," and the caption reads, "The higher you climb…" Meanwhile, Grace Shelby's memories are not lost yet, and Polly is back with her swag on screen.  Claflin turned many heads with his performance in the new season as the British politician Oswald Mosley. "Cillian Murphy and Sam Clafin together is EVERYTHING!" one user wrote, while another one said, "Mosley is so evil and hot!" One tweet read: "Sam Claflin in Peaky Blinders is everything I didn’t know I needed. #PeakyBlinders."
 

"The quintessential British show that I can no longer live without. It is cinematic GOLD and nothing short of excellence. But on a real note, Cillian Murphy is a f**king MASTERPIECE!" one user wrote and another one was impressed by the Shelby women. "The Shelby women are truly the best," one tweet read.  Sadly, international viewers might have to wait a bit longer as the show airs on Netflix on October 4. Some fans simply expressed their dismay as they were still waiting to watch the episodes. "Gotta wait till October 4 to watch on Netflix!! By the order of Peaky Fookin Blinders!" one user wrote, while another commented, "Wish we could get @BBCOne in the United States!! Staying patient till October when #PeakyBlinders comes to @netflix!"

The new season also brings hope for new viewers who are excited to start watching the show. "Couldn't get on board with #peakyblinders before. My family are brummie and their attempt at the accent went through me.. but now I know I have Tom Hardy AND Sam Claflin to look forward to, I might stick it out," said a viewer as he expressed his excitement to watch the new installment.
