The focus of the series is the Shelby family from Birmingham, who are the core of the eponymous gangster gang Peaky Blinders. The Shelbys are of Irish-Catholic descent, in addition they have Irish Travelers and Roma among their ancestors, which is why they are often disparagingly insulted and underestimated by their opponents(they occasionally communicate in Romani to stay one step ahead of their opponents).

Cultural impact
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), Peaky Blinders has had a detectable cultural impact in the UK. In 2018, the name Arthur surged into the top 10 boys names for the first time since the 1920s, and Ada jumped into the girls' top 100 for the first time in a century too. The assumption reached by the ONS is that the popularity of these names was inspired by the characters Arthur Shelby Jr. and Ada Thorne.

A good show that, like most shows, becomes a bit too much of the same thing after a few seasons.
 
Mortimer has found more bullies to idolise.
Maybe you have sight problems but a very unfortunate looking series of pictures of a morbidly obese person with a zero singing voice is effectively a hate campaign -- he hates other people being happy and enjoys scaring them .

So stop bullying us Mort . It has already wrecked cnm's sense of balanced perspective .
