The primary objective of this study is to explore the themes of power and corruption in Steven Knight’s web series Peaky Blinders. Web series and OTT platforms have become integral to contemporary culture, growing significantly in influence over the past few years. Through this literary form, writers like Steven Knight aim to depict the socio-economic and political realities of our time. Thus, this medium plays a crucial role in reflecting contemporary society and cannot be overlooked. Set in the post-war era, Peaky Blinders tells the story of a gang—or mafia family—called the Peaky Blinders. Throughout the series, Knight exposes how deeply corruption permeates the social system, showing how characters like the Peaky Blinders, politicians, and the police exploit corruption for power, status, and personal gain. This theme of corruption is evident in every season of Peaky Blinders. In addition, Knight addresses issues such as drug addiction, the dangers of gun culture in urban settings, crime and violence, police brutality, and the marginalization of women. While located in London, Peaky Blinders also reflects the harsh realities of urban life, portraying the city as a battleground of competing ideologies. Ultimately, the series reveals that city dwellers, despite their struggles, often lose more than they gain, sacrificing family, children, and personal dreams in the relentless pursuit of power.
