10 Must-Watch Historical Shows on Netflix for Peaky Blinders Fans
There are various types of shows with historical settings, and there's one subgenre that we'd like to call 'period-accurate violence'.
Peaky Blinders falls into that category spectacularly, and if you love that show, then you can boot these on Netflix and submerge yourself into the worlds of crime and war of times long gone.
Here's a thing about shows like these: they tend to fully embody the Netflix-ness of them, meaning that the probability of you being jump-scared by a sudden naked body or some significantly graphic yet seemingly unnecessary depictions of violence is quite high.
Then again, that's exactly what makes these shows entertaining: their grittiness, roughness, the rawness that's being sold under the umbrella of historical accuracy is what drives people to them.
They don't necessarily follow the historical events to the T, but they sell you the idea of that time, they still immerse you into a certain era with the designs and the costumes and the language.
This historical vibe that they follow simultaneously helps to detach them from the world that we're currently living in and have some connection to it, keeping the fragile balance of realism and fiction. That's what lures people to these shows.
