Anybody else making inspiration connections between Duskwall and the 1919 Birmingham gangster drama Peaky Blinders?
I’ve only seen the first episode myself, but it offers an intriguing view of the interplay and turf tensions between the various gangs (Peaky Blinders (bookies/racketeers), communists, the IRA, the Italian and Chinese communities, etc), the somewhat corrupt coppers, and uncompromising inspectors. It also offers a telling peak into the huge societal and psychological impact of WWI.
I’ve had it on my Netflix list for a while (PJ Harvey’s dreamy cover version of “Red right hand” possibly to blame for that), but now I am intrigued enough to start!
Peaky blinders is great just finished season 2! The soundtrack get better in Season 2 if you can believe that.
