  • The Witness

We can't get enough of TV crime right now. Legal dramas, dark and steamy murder mysteries, thrilling detective sagas — throw 'em all at us and we’ll keep asking for more. And if you, like us, simply can’t resist a dark and gritty drama, we got you, boo. To help you get your fix of all things dark and intriguing, we’ve put together a list of the best crime shows on Netflix right now. 

Some of our recent favourites include the real-life drug-bust drama Legends and the action-thriller Man on Fire. But never mind what we think — it’s time for you to make up your own mind. Get ready for hours of binge-worthy entertainment, and perhaps keep a light on and your bestie on speed dial stand-by…just in case.

The Witness

Based on the real-life murder of a young mother in 1990s London and the botched investigation into finding her killer, this limited series is an emotional one for sure. The story is centred around her partner and three-year-old son — who was the sole witness to the murder — as they navigate years of press harassment, police interviews, trials, and systemic police fudge-ups. All three episodes are available to watch now, so you can smash it in one afternoon if you feel like it. 

Southland

This is definitely not new, but it is new to Netflix Australia. Set in Los Angeles, it’s a gritty drama following the lives of LAPD patrol officers and detectives. It’s more of a raw and real character-driven drama than a standard glossy American police procedural. And if that sounds like your cup of tea, there are five full seasons — which, depending on your bingeing abilities, should keep you entertained for a few weeks. 

Legends

Crime dramas based on real life are always worth a watch. And, if you like underdog stories where good prevails over evil, this incredible undercover investigation carried out by ordinary British civil servants to stop the 90s heroin epidemic should be on your to-watch list. It’s gritty, no-nonsense, and has plenty of action and high-stakes suspense. It also features a fabulous dramatic performance by Steve Coogan (best known as the hilariously goofy, cringeworthy, yet somehow lovable Alan Partridge). And, at a short and sweet six episodes, you can easily smash it out in less than a week.

Nemesis

Everyone seems to be bingeing this one right now. Following the escalating beef between a mastermind heist thief and the detective obsessed with catching him,  it’s basically a glossy cat-and-mouse cop and robber story for the modern age. It’s very melodramatic, and the performances are often a bit over the top, but if you don’t mind that and enjoy some action, heist vibes, and a big old dollop of violence,  you’re good to go.

Should I Marry a Murderer?

This three-part documentary has all the true crime intrigue with a healthy dose of suspense and drama, too. It’s about a woman who found out that her husband and his brother killed someone in a hit and run… and then decided to act like a covert witness to help the police bring them to justice. So it’s got real-life drama along with all the high-stakes double life tension you could hope for. Enjoy.

Man on Fire

 
Not to be confused with the 2004 Denzel Washington movie, this new adaptation of the classic A.J. Quinnell novel follows a former U.S. Special Forces Captain trying to protect his dead best friend’s teenage daughter from a political and criminal conspiracy, all while grappling with his own demons, PTSD, and alcoholism. It’s sombre, intense, and hyper-violent, so make sure you’re in the right mood before pressing play on this one.

Big Mistakes 

 
Starring Schitt Creek’s Dan Levy, this dark crime comedy follows a conflicted pastor and his sister as they get blackmailed into working for an organised crime gang. It balances family drama with dangerous situations, mixing sitcom ridiculousness with dark storylines. Basically, imagine Ozark but with a much lighter and more comedic tone. Big Mistakes dropped on April 9 2026, with all eight episodes available to binge in full immediately.

Trust Me: The False Prophet

 
If you’re fascinated by cults and how people get sucked into them, you’ll probably enjoy this four-part true crime doco. Blending archival footage and victim interviews with dramatic reconstructions, Trust Me: The False Prophet details the rise and fall of a charismatic leader and self-proclaimed prophet who manipulated followers in a polygamist sect through deception, control, and exploitation. It’s a slow-burn doco with an emphasis on personal testimonies, which could make it a difficult watch for some viewers. All four episodes of Trust Me: The False Prophet are available to stream now.

The Art of Sarah

 
If you fancy combining your love of crime shows with your passion for Korean drama, then this mystery-crime thriller is set in Seoul’s luxury fashion scene is perfect for you. The story follows the chaotic unravelling of a successful executive after police discover a body that’s believed to be hers. And, as the plot thickens, the investigation uncovers a wild trail of shifting identities, lies, and missing records that suggest Sarah may not exist at all. It’s dark, modern, and has plenty of twists to keep you interested enough to binge all eight episodes pretty quickly. 

Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey

 
If you’re fascinated by true crime with a bit of a culty vibe, this 4-part doco will do nicely. Combining survivor testimonies, archival footage, and investigative reporting, it takes a long, hard look at the rise and fall of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) under leader Warren Jeffs. From his authoritarian style to the enforced polygamy, abuse, and coercion experienced by members — especially women and children — it tackles a lot of difficult subjects. The tone is dark and unsettling, yet empathetic towards the survivors. It’s definitely not an easy breezy watch, but if you have a morbid fascination with this kind of stuff, it’s worth tuning in.

A Friend, A Murderer

 
In the mood for a true-crime doco? This Danish mini-series explores the story of a close-knit group of friends in rural Denmark who, after being terrorised by a string of horrific crimes, discovered that the perpetrator was one of their friends. Blending first-hand recollections with archive material, it takes a deep dive into the psychological fallout of the murders. All three forty-minute episodes are available to stream in full now, so you can binge them in one day if you so wish.

That Night (Esa Noche)

 
This Spanish‑language thriller follows three sisters as they try to cover up a hit-and-run while on a family holiday to the Dominican Republic. It mixes psychological drama and tension with weirdly relatable family dynamics (even if you or your siblings never actually hit someone with a car). All six episodes dropped on 13 March 2026, so it’s ready and waiting for you to binge. 

Person of Interest 

This isn’t new, but it is new to Netflix Australia. So, if you haven’t yet seen it and need a long-ish-running American crime drama to sink your teeth into, this action-crime drama is worth checking out. The story follows a reclusive tech billionaire and a presumed-dead CIA spy as they use advanced surveillance AI to predict and prevent violent crimes before they happen. It’s basically a procedural crime format with an added side of tech, sci-fi, and action. It was a general hit with critics and fans alike, and you can smash all five seasons right now.

In The Mud 

Fancy a gritty Argentinian prison drama? In The Mud follows a group of female inmates after a harrowing crash bonds them on their way to a brutal women’s penitentiary filled with corruption, turf wars, and exploitation. Fans and critics have praised its bleak, intense, and raw portrayal of the violence, power struggles, and systemic abuse in women’s prisons. Maybe not the one if you fancy a light and breezy watch… but then again, you wouldn’t be reading this list of best Netflix crime shows if you weren’t just a little bit sadistic in your viewing habits, now would you…

How to Get to Heaven from Belfast

If you’re in the mood for a crime show with a healthy dose of comedy, this new mystery-thriller by Derry Girls’ Lisa McGee is worth checking out. The story follows three lifelong friends who band together to uncover the truth behind the mysterious death of their estranged fourth friend. At times, it’s laugh-out-loud funny, but it's also combined with mystery, drama, and plenty of twists and turns. 

Million-Follower Detective 

This Taiwanese crime‑mystery thriller is primarily in Mandarin/Chinese, so you may need to put your phone down and focus on the subtitles for this one. The story follows a veteran detective who teams up with an influencer and a cybercrime specialist to solve a string of murders targeting social media influencers. It’s probably not going to change the world, but it is a bingeable modern-day crime thriller with plenty of action and plot hooks to keep you guessing. 

The Lincoln Lawyer

Not to be confused with the movie starring Matthew McConaughey (which is same same, but different), this adaptation of Michael Connelly’s novel series is on its fourth season, with a fifth already in the works. If you haven’t seen the first three seasons or the movie, it’s about an unconventional defence attorney who works out of his car and goes above and beyond for his clients. It blends high-stakes courtroom battles with personal drama, mystery, and suspense. Season 4 dropped on 5 February 2026 — enjoy.

Cash Queens

If you’re in the mood for a French crime-comedy drama —and why wouldn’t you be — Cash Queens (or Les Lionnes) brings you heist craziness and character-driven storytelling in a binge-worthy rollercoaster ride. The story follows five friends who decide to steal guns and rob banks disguised as men to try to pull themselves out of a desperate financial situation. But, as all good amateur crime sprees do… things quickly get out of hand and escalate to the point where they’re hunted down by the police, politicians and terrifying gangsters. Whether you watch it in French with English subtitles or go for the dubbed version, it’s one to watch with your phone firmly on the table.

 

Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials

 
This three-episode limited series is set in 1925 England and follows a young aristocratic woman as she investigates a bizarre death at a lavish country house party. As she digs deeper into the mystery, she uncovers secret societies and a web of conspiracies. Think classic Christie whodunnit meets popular period drama vibes. All three episodes dropped on 15 January 2026, so you can smash the whole thing in one sitting, no problem.

Run Away

 
Run Away follows a devoted father (played by James Nesbitt) as he desperately tries to find his runaway daughter.  But, because nothing is simple in crime thriller land, his attempt uncovers a dark mystery filled with drugs, murder, and family secrets. The general consensus among fans is that it’s binge-worthy but a little on the ridiculous side. So if that sounds like what you’re in the mood for, you can smash all eight episodes right now.

Murder in Monaco

 
Can’t resist a true crime doco? Murder in Monaco looks into the mysterious death of billionaire banker Edmond Safra, who died in a fire in his ridiculously lavish Monaco penthouse in 1999. Mixing archive footage with interviews and an investigation into the controversial confession of the man convicted of starting the fire, it’s one with plenty of intrigue for sure. But, if you like your documentaries to end with a neat bow conclusion, you should probably know that this one raises more questions than it answers. 

His & Hers

 
If you like your crime dramas short and sweet, then mark your calendar for the global premiere of the new six-part limited series, His & Hers, on 8 January 2025. Based on Alice Feeney’s novel, the story follows a reclusive news anchor who goes back to her hometown to investigate a murder. But as she digs into the case, the detective begins to suspect her involvement. If you like a mystery with plenty of ‘who can we trust’ twists and turns, it sounds like you’re in for a treat here. 

The Price of Confession 

This Korean mystery-thriller follows a woman who finds herself under the spotlight as the prime suspect in her husband’s murder. But, in a somewhat sinister twist, she’s offered a lifeline by a mysterious stranger who offers to take the blame and confess to the murder on one life-changing condition. This crime drama is dark, twisted and full of suspense and plot twists. So, if that’s your thing, you can stream all twelve episodes in full from 5 December 2025.

City of Shadows

This six-episode Spanish crime thriller (original title, Ciudad de Sombras) starts with a pretty grim ritualistic murder, which forces a disgraced and suspended inspector back into active duty. Paired with a determined deputy inspector, the inspector must work around bureaucracy and personal demons to decode complex clues and uncover the truth behind the gruesome crime. So, if you like procedural mystery with some added grist, suspense, and psychological depth, you can smash all six episodes of City of Shadows from 12 December 2025.

As You Stood By

This Korean drama starring Squid Games’ Lee You-mi has made a few of our other what to watch lists recently. The story follows two childhood friends — one who grew up in an abusive household, and the other who is currently living with an abusive husband. Traumatised and looking for justice, they plot to kill the abusive husband. But, as a figure from their past unexpectedly returns, things don’t quite go to plan. The eight-part crime thriller dropped on November 7 2025, and is available to binge in full now.

The Asset

We’re continuing on the foreign-language train now with a Danish-language crime thriller. The story follows a troubled police cadet who is recruited by a covert intelligence agency. Posing as a jeweller, she befriends a dangerous drug-lord’s girlfriend to infiltrate his criminal empire. But, as the two women become closer, her loyalty, morality, and identity are all put to the test. It’s tense, moody, and offers some slow-burn suspense. So if that’s your thing, you can smash all six episodes right this minute.

The Beast In Me

If you liked Homeland and/or The Americans, you are in for a real treat with Netflix’s latest crime thriller. Starring phenomenally talented actors Claire Danes (Homeland) and Matthew Rhys (The Americans), The Beast In Me follows a grief-stricken author (Danes) who becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth about her charming, powerful, yet super sus new neighbour (Rhys), who was once a suspect in his wife’s disappearance. It’s all very cat-and-mouse thriller vibes, and it’ll be sure to keep you guessing. All eight episodes of The Beast In Me are available to stream right now. If you manage to watch just one episode without bingeing the rest, we salute you. 

Absentia

Love a good American procedural drama? Three seasons of Absentia should keep you occupied for a while. Starring Stana Katic (Castle), it follows an FBI agent who vanishes while hunting down a serial killer. Presumed dead but reappearing six years later with absolutely no memories from her time in captivity, she’s faced with the brutal blow that her husband is raising her son with his new wife. Oh, and she’s the prime suspect in a string of murders, too. It’s giving us Blacklist meets Gone Girl meets The Girl On The Train. Enjoy. 

The Monster of Florence

After being totally fascinated by the Italian criminal justice system in The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, we can’t wait to get stuck into another Italian true crime drama, The Monster of Florence. Based on the real-life murders of multiple couples in Florence between 1968 and 1985, this limited series explores the investigation through the decades as well as the lives of many of the suspects. Reviews so far have been mixed, but if you’re a real true crime fan, you’ll probably want to smash out all four episodes in one weekend.

Amsterdam Empire


This Dutch-language crime drama follows an ex-popstar who launches a savage campaign to seize her soon-to-be ex-husband’s cannabis coffee-shop empire after she learns of his affair. It’s veeeery soapy melodrama, so if you prefer crime thrillers with pure grit, you may want to give it a swerve. But, if you like your dramas with strong female leads and cinematography that will make you want to pack your bag and head to Amsterdam, pronto — you’re good to go. If you can handle the dubbing, you can watch Amsterdam Empire in English. Or, of course, you can opt for the Dutch original track with subtitles if you prefer.

Mob War: Philadelphia vs The Mafia

 
If you love gangster drama, this three-part doco is for you. It explores the violent fallout that occurred after the arrest of notorious Philadelphia Mafia mob boss, Nicky Scarfo, in 1988. Essentially, a Sicilian-born mobster called John Stanfa seized control of the Philadelphia Mafia straight after his arrest, which rubbed Joey Merlino and the ‘Young Turks’ the wrong way. The result was a bloody turf war and one of the most turbulent and violent chapters in organised crime history. So, if that sounds morbidly fascinating and oddly thrilling to you, get ready to smash all three episodes as soon as they drop on Wednesday, October 22.

Black Rabbit

 
This high-stakes family crime saga made our best Netflix thrillers list, too. The story follows a successful New York restaurateur (played by Jude Law) whose life and business are thrown into chaos when his troubled brother (played by Jason Bateman) returns with danger, debt, and all kinds of drama in tow. Intense, character-driven, and with strong performances from two A-list leads, this eight-episode crime series is one to smash right now.

Monster: The Ed Gein Story

 
If you can’t resist a dramatisation of chilling crimes, you should add Monster: The Ed Gein Story to your Netflix watch list right now. Set in 1950s Wisconsin, the series chronicles the life of one of America’s most infamous murderers. But, unlike the subjects of previous instalments of Monster (Jeffrey Dahmer and the Menendez brothers), Ed Gein was also a grave robber who exhumed corpses for ritualistic purposes. So, if you’re morbidly fascinated by the disturbing, gruesome, and all kinds of creepy crimes, this one’s for you. Monster: The Ed Gein Story premiered on October 3, 2025, with all 8 episodes available to binge right now. 

The New Force

 
Like your crime dramas with a healthy dose of feminism? Swedish drama The New Force (or Skiftet) will quench your thirst for this and then some. Based on true events, it follows Sweden’s first group of female police officers as they graduate and enter the force in 1958. Although posted to one of the city’s toughest districts, the crime they deal with day in and day out pales in comparison to the media scrutiny, workplace sexism and familial pressures they face. All 6 episodes of The New Force are available to stream now. Expect a blend of period drama, police storylines, and social resistance.

Dark Winds

If you’re in the mood for a vintage psychological crime thriller, there are twelve episodes across two seasons of Dark Winds just waiting for your bingeing talents. Based on Tony Hillerman’s Leaphorn & Chee novels, the series follows Navajo Tribal Police officers as they investigate complex crimes on the Navajo Nation. Critics have praised this one for its authentic portrayal of Native American characters and culture. It also has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, so you can’t really go wrong, can ya?

Beauty and the Bester

You may or may not have heard of Thabo Bester, but his story is as disturbing as it is fascinating. Known as the ‘Facebook Rapist’, he lured models in with fake modelling jobs, leading to multiple assaults and a murder. But this particular true crime tale doesn’t end with his conviction and imprisonment. In fact, it’s only just the beginning. From alleged escapes and staged deaths to unlikely accomplices, this one needs to be seen to be believed. And lucky for you, this three-part documentary will give you all kinds of facts, speculation, and perspectives on the case. 

Love Con Revenge

 
Judging by the general reviews on this brand-new Netflix crime doco, Love Con Revenge is something to either kill time or binge because you’re intrigued by anything remotely connected to the infamous Tinder Swindler. In a nutshell, the original Tinder Swindler victim, Cecilie Fjellhøy, teams up with a private investigator to help others who have been scammed in similar ways. If you want action-packed episodes full of satisfying and dramatic victories, it doesn’t sound like you’ll get what you need from this. But, if you’re endlessly fascinated by romance scams and the way they unfold, you can smash all six episodes of Love Con Revenge right this minute.

Queen Mantis


Whether you love Korean drama or just crime shows in general, Queen Mantis offers everything you want and more. The story follows a notorious serial killer who is roped in to helping the police find a copycat killer years later. And, for an added twist, her estranged son — now a detective — is the sole point of contact between his mother and the investigation. It’s giving us emotional family drama meets gripping crime investigation. The first two episodes are available to stream now, with new episodes dropping on September 13, 14, 20, 21, 27, and 28 — because Netflix be keeping us on our toes. 

Rivers of Fate

If you like your crime shows with a side of action-packed suspense, you might want to check out this gripping Brazilian miniseries that just dropped on Netflix. The four-part crime drama is centred around three complete strangers: a young teenager kidnapped by human traffickers, a reluctant gang leader, and a mother desperate to avenge her family’s murder. As their lives collide deep in the Amazon jungle, things get hectic. Critics have given it a mixed response, but the overall consensus is that it’s relentlessly dark, bleak, and hopeless. So, if you’re in the mood to torture yourself with a chaotic drama about the worst of humanity, go for gold. But, if scenes of misogyny, homophobia, and sexual violence are too much for you this weekend, give this one a swerve for now. 

Fatal Seduction

This South African crime drama does exactly what it says on the tin, folks. It’s saucy, sordid, and super binge-worthy. The story follows an unhappily married university professor who hooks up with a much younger man on a weekend getaway with friends. It’s all 50 shades of super hot and sexy until her best mate dies under suspicious circumstances and everything devolves into a dark spiral of suspicion, betrayal, deception, and vengeance. For those who already smashed the first instalment of Fatal Seduction, Season 2 just dropped and is ready for your bingeing pleasure. And, for those of you who need to catch up on Season 1 first, you can smash all ten episodes of that, too, right now.

Untamed

Looking for an old-school, macho, and rough-around-the-edges detective working in and around some beautifully rugged mountains? Look no further than Eric Bana riding around on horseback in Untamed. Though it’s nothing particularly new and it probably won’t change your life, this drama about a special agent investigating a young woman’s suspicious death in Yosemite National Park has all the components you need from an easy-binge Netflix crime drama. All 6 episodes of this limited series are available to stream now, so you can smash it in one weekend. Too easy.

Dept Q

Oh, we do love a good British (or Scottish) crime thriller, and Dept Q certainly did not disappoint. Troubled yet loveable anti-hero detective with anger problems but a good heart underneath it all? Tick. Cutting comments and dry humour to balance the obligatory grit and gore? Tick. Crazy conspiracies, cliffhangers, and plot twists that keep you guessing? Yaaaasss! If you like dark crime shows (and if you don’t… why on earth are you reading this?!), you’ll love Dept. Q. Just don’t start watching it too close to bedtime because you’ll inevitably watch at least one more episode than you intended, courtesy of the aforementioned cliffhangers…

The Madness

When TV host and pundit Muncie Daniels stumbles upon a gruesome murder while on a writing retreat in the depths of the Poconos, all hell breaks loose. As Daniels (played by man of the moment, Colman Domingo) tries to make sense of the murder, he finds himself framed at the centre of an enormous conspiracy, fighting for survival in every conceivable way. Sound good to you? It is! Action-packed, tense, and expertly performed, this 8-episode limited series is defo worth a watch. 

You

Watch on YouTube

Who would have thought serial killers could be so sexy? If you’re yet to see the first four seasons of this psychological thriller about an intensely intelligent yet sociopathic stalker, you’re in for a steamy surprise. Or, if you’ve been waiting for the latest instalment of this murderous saga, the fifth and final season is now available in full. It’s not as good as previous seasons, but it’ll do just enough to quench that morally questionable thirst you’ve had for more Penn Badgley in this disturbingly attractive role (ooph).

The Residence

Watch on YouTube

Uzo Aduba (otherwise known as ‘Crazy Eyes’ from Orange is the New Black) leads a very strong ensemble cast in this quirky whodunnit saga that takes place during a White House state dinner. Funny, quirky, and with a timeline as jumpy as an episode of How I Met Your Mother, it’s kind of like a classic Agatha Christie meets Only Murders in the Building. If you love a modern murder mystery, it’s worth checking out.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Watch on YouTube

Although there’s no shortage of dramas about infamous influencers who duped millions of people and pulled off some pretty brazen scams, this one might hit home a bit more with Australian viewers—literally. Chronicling disgraced Aussie influencer Belle Gibson’s rise to fame as a supposed survivor who beat cancer with healthy living, Apple Cider Vinegar takes a disturbing peek behind the curtain at the wellness blogging industry, our obsession with influencer culture, and how dangerous it can be when misinformation spreads.

Adolescence

Watch on YouTube

It’s hard to find someone who hasn’t at least heard of Netflix’s latest smash hit, Adolescence, right now—and that’s for good reason. Produced by Brad Pitt’s production company, Plan B and centred around the scarily relevant issue of violence against girls, modern male rage, and the dark influence of social media on children, this psychological crime drama has got everybody talking. Critics have raved about it, from the brilliant and raw young talent to the one-take filming style. The Guardian even called it “the closest thing to TV perfection in decades”. So, if you haven’t already watched it… what are you waiting for? All four episodes are available to stream right now. We suggest cancelling plans and getting through all four ASAP, if not sooner.

Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story

Watch on YouTube

From the creators of the true crime sensation Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, comes the latest installment, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. This gripping series delves into the shocking true events surrounding the Menendez brothers, who infamously murdered their parents in their Beverly Hills home. The show explores the brothers' lavish lifestyle, the dark secrets of their family dynamics, and the high-profile trial that captivated the nation. With intense performances and a riveting storyline, this series is a chilling exploration of crime, punishment, and the American justice system.

Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope is a groundbreaking heist series that invites viewers to watch episodes in any sequence, creating a dynamic and engaging narrative experience. This inventive approach to storytelling not only keeps viewers guessing but also makes each viewing feel unique, as different episode orders reveal new insights into the plot and characters. By allowing the audience to piece together the story from various angles, Kaleidoscope offers a personalised viewing experience that maintains suspense and intrigue throughout, ensuring that the complexities of the heist unfold in a captivating and unpredictable manner.

Griselda

Griselda tells the fascinating story of Griselda Blanco, the infamous Colombian drug lord known as the "Black Widow" or "La Madrina." Played by Sofia Vergara, the series dives deep into her rise to power in the male-dominated world of drug trafficking. As one of the most feared and ruthless figures in the Medellín Cartel, Blanco’s story is full of high-stakes drama, shocking violence, and cunning business maneuvers. Griselda explores her tumultuous life, highlighting the complex and brutal reality of the drug trade, while giving viewers a look at the woman who defied all odds to become one of the most powerful figures in the criminal underworld.

The Lincoln Lawyer 

Following the success of the movie adaptation, the Netflix series provides a fresh take on Michael Connelly's popular character. The Lincoln Lawyer dives into the life of a defense attorney who runs his practice out of the back of his Lincoln car, taking on cases that navigate the murky waters of Los Angeles' legal and criminal landscape.

Peaky Blinders

Peaky Blinders is an absolute must-watch for fans of gritty, historical crime dramas. Set in post-WWI Birmingham, England, the show follows the Shelby family and their rise to power as notorious gangsters. Led by the charismatic yet ruthless Tommy Shelby (played by Cillian Murphy), the family navigates a dangerous web of crime, politics, and betrayal. Known for its stunning cinematography, unforgettable characters, and a killer soundtrack, Peaky Blinders will keep you hooked with its intense drama and brilliantly crafted storytelling. Watch the Shelby family expand their empire, facing formidable enemies and their own inner demons.
