So, next time you watch an episode, remember: the main seasons are set from 1919 to the early 1930s. It’s a decade of change, from horses to cars, from cold pubs to underground clubs. You’re watching a world where a man could rule an empire with a razor blade in his cap and a dream.
And if you ever feel lost, just look at the hats. If the hats are flat, it’s the 1920s. If they’re fedoras, you’ve time-traveled to the 1930s. And if you see a smartphone, you’ve definitely fallen asleep on the couch. Now go make yourself a cup of tea and pretend you’re as cool as Tommy Shelby. Just don’t blow anything up.
