10 Netflix Shows EVERYONE Should Binge-Watch

10. Peaky Blinders

British drama Peaky Blinders first began airing in 2013 and quickly established itself as one of the best shows for binging on Netflix following the show being purchased in September 2014.

The show follows the notorious Shelby family, a real-world urban gang active on the streets of Birmingham in the years immediately after World War One. Tommy Shelby acts as the head of the family and is a shrewd, daring character portrayed by Cillian Murphy in a brilliant, ever-cool performance. Murphy's role as Tommy in the show has already netted him three individual awards, adding to the eleven others for production, direction, visuals and individual and cast performances.

With the show kicking off in the middle of the gritty strikes and political upheaval rife in the early 1920s and running through to include the rise of infamous figures such as Oswald Mosley, creator Steven Knight has recently said that he wants the show to take place right up until the first air raid of World War Two, something that will take seven series.

With the fifth season airing in 2019, there's still plenty of the Peaky Blinders to savour before their antics are drawn to a close.
