Peaky Blinders, which ranks up there with The Sopranos, The Wire, and Game of Thrones, for the loyalty it commands among its followers, will begin its swansong this Sunday.

While part of the TV show’s success can be attributable to many factors, including a thunderous soundtrack, the charismatic presence that commands the show has been created by outstanding Cork actor Cillian Murphy.
