What Does Red Right Hand Actually Mean In Peaky Blinders?
The gritty gangster series “Peaky Blinders” exudes an understated (yet occasionally overt) sense of danger. A significant portion of this atmosphere is due to Cillian Murphy’s powerful portrayal of Tommy Shelby, the main character, but the mood is established right from the opening scene of the show. In this scene, Tommy calmly rides a horse through the streets of Birmingham, heading towards a fortune teller to ensure his horse wins a race. As terrified onlookers scramble and hide, he nonchalantly reveals the horse’s name and the race it will run in as a complimentary betting tip to those present.
