another period drama -
Peaky Blinders.
I didn't watch the first series, last year - but now that Tom Hardy is coming into it in series 2 (just started airing) I am thinking I might catch up the first series after all
It does look pretty awesome.

Trailer for series 2:
Based on the real 'Peaky Blinders' a criminal gang in Birmingham in the late 18th and early 19th century. The show is set just on the cusp of 1920 - postwar Birmingham. Though historically questionable, the name Peaky Blinders was said to derive from the gang sewing razor blades into their peaked caps - a habit that the series has used to good effect.
From the bits I've seen it looks very stylish and has an awesome soundtrack
