One of the greatest apprehensions people get before a pre-established show with multiple seasons is that they feel lost. Shows like BBC’s Peaky Blinders is one of them. The show has five full seasons with a sixth(and final) almost half complete with only three episodes remaining.

So people often steer away from the show as they feel overwhelmed by the show’s hour-long episodes and multiple seasons. But Peaky Blinders is a show that you have to see no matter what your reason is. And luckily, BBC feels the same. So BBC has updated the traditional ABCs to get you up to date with the show’s elaborate story.
