Shows like Peaky Blinders

Deadwood

Set across the pond and quite a bit earlier in history, HBO’s Deadwood has a lot in common with Peaky Blinders. Namely, it sees numerous violent people at a historically pivotal moment vying for power. In a post-Civil War mining town, lawlessness slowly makes way for civilization, or at least warring factions of profiteers looking to run the show their way. Deadwood is one of the very best HBO shows and one of the best shows like Peaky Blinders too.

Ripper Street

In the late 1800s, following the grizzly murders of Jack the Ripper, Whitechapel seems to be returning to normal. But without any closure following the highly-publicized murders or any clues as to the killer’s identity, everyone’s on edge, and every new murder stokes fears that the Ripper might be back, as detectives adjust to a new reality.

Sons of Anarchy

Jax Teller’s allegiance to his motorcycle gang, the Sons of Anarchy, is tested as he begins to question his lawless ways and strives to do the right thing as a single father. Telling complex stories with overlapping perspectives, the series offered a compelling portrait of organized crime while it aired for seven seasons on FX.

Boardwalk Empire

HBO’s The Sopranos is probably the best and most beloved show about organized crime, but the premium cable network’s popular Boardwalk Empire is certainly more of a show like Peaky Blinders, with its historical setting and wider scope. Enoch “Nucky” Thompson is the treasurer of Atlantic City during Prohibition. Nucky is as much mobster as he is politician, though, running booze and dealing with every gangster under the sun. But Nucky’s luck can only take him so far when a former protege sets his sights on Nucky’s empire.

Taboo

Peaky Blinders actor Tom Hardy plays adventurer James Keziah Delaney, who returns to London after being thought dead in Africa in the BBC and FX’s Taboo. Intent on taking over his deceased father’s shipping company to rival the East India Company, Delaney also seeks justice for his father’s death while navigating conspiracy, betrayal, and murder in this dark, gripping show like Peaky Blinders.

Frontier

Jason Mamoa plays outlaw trapper Declan Harp, who wages war on the Hudson’s Bay Company in this Canadian drama. In the 1700s, the Hudson’s Bay Company has a monopoly on the fur trade, which doesn’t sit right with Harp. Soon, he invites the ire of Lord Benton, who seeks to restore the company’s standing by stamping out Harp’s operation. But Benton won’t be able to win without a fight.

Gangs of London

When the head of the most powerful crime family in London is assassinated, it leaves a huge power vacuum with many people just itching to fill it. Among them is the late crime boss’ hot-headed son, whose powerplay makes waves across the very global world of organized crime.

Carnival Row

Perhaps an unlikely inclusion on this list as it deals with fairytales and the supernatural, Carnival Row is nevertheless a good companion to Peaky Blinders. In an alternate history, mythical creatures now live among humans and are treated as second-class citizens. Fae gangs look out for themselves, and among them is a fae woman with a complicated romantic past with a half-fae man who works as a constable and who sympathizes with the immigrant fae as he seeks to solve a string of murders.

Penny Dreadful

Another supernatural show like Peaky Blinders, Penny Dreadful is a dark and gritty take on numerous Gothic tales like Frankenstein and The Picture of Dorian Gray. Set in England a bit before Peaky Blinders, in the late 19th century, the series sees a group of characters come together to help a young woman haunted by a monster. One of the protagonists, an American named Ethan Chandler, is hunted by inspectors who think him guilty of grizzly murders, all while he conspires against evil forces with his new comrades.
