By order of the Peaky Blinders!
Given the fact that Season 4 of Peaky Blinders has only just arrived in the US, it’s not too surprising to learn that some of our cousins across the Atlantic aren’t too familiar with the Shelby gang.
Obviously, if you haven’t seen the show then there are spoilers below.
As the most recent episode ended, it’s clear that Tommy has his eye fixed on America and a potential deal with Al Capone. Given the fact that Steven Knight’s show is so intrinsically British, we were curious to see what Americans made of the superb drama.
Here’s what we discovered…
Even famous rappers are yet to be introduced to the Shelby family.
Anybody watch Peaky Blinders?

The number of cigarettes that they all smoke came up.
They smoked so much on 'Peaky Blinders" did they use actual cigarettes? Seems like anyone that came off that production would have stage 2 lung cancer!!!!

Some Yanks think they’ve recognised Cillian Murphy from something else?

Regardless, let’s just admit that the Irish actor is exceptional.

This being said, some people just packed the show in.
Watched the first 8 episodes of Peaky Blinders and I gave up. Nothing happened and everyone was the same kind of broody 🛌🏻

The bad guys in this season of peaky blinders are non-sensical.

The Brummie accent didn’t go down to well with some.

Holy crap Peaky Blinders Alabama Gold is Petyr Baelish from GOT, talks exactly the same but they look completely different. That voice was freaking me out until I got it.

Tom Hardy's character on Peaky Blinders (I refer to him as Solomon the Jew) is amazing
