When Peaky Blinders started, he was a 29-year-old with PTSD from the 1918 tunnels. By 'The Immortal Man' (2026), he’s 50 years old watching the exact same war come back to finish the job

Bonus points if the annoying law-abiding character who tries to stop him ends up being the most hated person on the entire subreddit.

Hypothetical: Tommy Shelby is implicated in a crime, but is cleared by an alibi. Scotland Yard brings in an eccentric Belgian private detective to consult. How would this interaction go down?

Arthur’s Hair

The long hair looks terrible on him. He’s usually fairly handsome but he looks like a shaggy burnout with his hair like that.

I know it doesn’t make for a good story but showing tolerance for evil like that doesn’t make you any less guilty. Even in real life, it only ends bad

Impuros x Peaky Blinders

Evandro do Dendê and Thomas Shelby operate on exactly the same creative frequency. If you take a close look at the structure of Impuros and Peaky Blinders, you’ll realize that the Brazilian series holds its own against the British one in terms of writing, strategy, and power dynamics. Evandro and Tommy are two sides of the same coin.

  1. The Strategist Protagonist (Evandro vs. Tommy Shelby) Both are cold, calculating, and highly intelligent. They don’t defeat their rivals through brute force, but by staying three steps ahead in the chess game of crime. Both Tommy and Evandro started small—controlling local neighborhoods (Birmingham / Morro do Dendê)—and grew their operations into international empires (opium exports / a "white gold" trafficking route through Bolivia and Paraguay).

  2. The Antagonist’s Obsession (Morello vs. Inspector Campbell) The parallel here is striking. Both Morello and Campbell are obsessed, self-destructive, and willing to cross any ethical line to take down the protagonist. This cat-and-mouse dynamic drives both series, with the police often becoming just as corrupt as the criminals they pursue.

    1. Family Business and Vulnerability They may be "cold and calculating," but that changes the moment their families are threatened. The structure is identical: both empires are family businesses built on blind loyalty, yet family itself serves as their Achilles' heel. The tensions between Evandro and Dona Arlete or Geise mirror, with remarkable precision, the conflicts Tommy faces with Aunt Polly and the volatile Arthur Shelby.
  3. The Transition from the "Shadow Sector" to the Corporate World Just as Tommy Shelby shifts his focus toward the Shelby Company Limited and politics to legitimize his wealth, Evandro also needs to professionalize his drug-trafficking operations—dealing with currency traders, high-level money laundering, and corrupt politicians.

Impuros is essentially the 1990s Rio de Janeiro version of Peaky Blinders. If you enjoyed one, you’ll likely binge-watch the other with the same level of intensity. What do you think of this comparison?

The love that brought peace and chaos

Grace Burgess is the typical character who knew the sea was full of sharks (Thomas Shelby's criminal world) and could be attacked at any moment... even though the two intended to focus on a life away from crime, both knew that in that world there were enemies everywhere, and the bullet that was meant for Thomas... Grace was the target. Was this love worth it? Yes, on one hand it was because Thomas found the peace he longed for after the war that destroyed his mind... but at the same time it wasn't worth it because it wasn't the cursed sapphire, but rather THOMAS SHELBY WAS HIS OWN CURSE.

"Dear Grace"

Post image
44 Upvotes

“Dear Grace, Without a secretary, I write my own letters, and I write without malice. I learnt long ago to hate my enemies. But I’ve never loved one before. The idea of New York is interesting, but I have worked so hard for this day, for this victory. I have responsibilities here. People I need to protect and people who I love. Before the war, when I had an important decision to make, I used to flip a coin. Perhaps that is what I will do again. Polly tells me you fell in love for real, and Polly is never wrong about matters of the heart. I will give you my decision within three days. All my love. Thomas Shelby.”

Here, they’re showing you that, at first, Tommy really did do everything for his family. He gave up love and his own happiness for their sake. But he also tossed the coin, he was prepared to leave everything behind for Grace. He was torn in two: he loved Grace, but he also loved his family.
