Aston, Jacob (MW) Peaky Blinders

Peaky Blinders,  produced by Caryn Mandabach Productions and Tiger Aspect Productions, is a Netflix Original Series based out of England and set in post-WWI Birmingham, England. The producer, Caryn Mandabach, has funded the show with the help of The Weinstein Company who has given Netflix exclusive distribution right in the United States. Based on the Peaky Blinders gang of the early 1900s, the Shelby Family uses corruption, money, and ruthless killings to take over the city of Birmingham and control the entire monetary flow of the region. Their leader, Thomas Shelby, is a master manipulator and con-artist, who uses his dealings in horse race betting to gain control of Birmingham and eventually, London. Along the way, he is opposed by a private investigator sent by Winston Churchill, the Communist Party of England, the Irish Republican Army, and an assortment of powerful rival gangs. The empire that the Shelby family establishes, however, begins to collapse under the weight of past corruption and scandals which eventually leads to their demise.
