October Picks: The Movies and TV Shows You Can't Miss2 of 12
"Peaky Blinders" | Premieres Friday, Oct. 4, on Netflix
After an almost two-year hiatus, the dapper Thomas Shelby and crew are back and ready for another round of criminal antics, gang wars, and hyper-stylistic slow motion walking shots set to anachronistic background music. Season 5 sees Thomas (played by the brilliant Cillian Murphy) moving up in the world, but all that really means is a larger target on his back and a long line of people wanting to tear him down. Although this is pretty much the arc of each season, seeing how the Shelby gang maneuvers their way out of an endless stream of dire circumstances, and guessing who will betray who, and who will make it out alive by the end is what keeps me coming back for more. That, and the really cool menswear. — Vanessa
