How this season is filed
Post-WWI Birmingham gangsters with razors in their caps: family is the firm, style is the weapon. Steven Knight's BBC saga, globalized by Netflix, made Cillian Murphy's Tommy a slow-burn emperor of smoke — McCrory's Polly, Nick Cave needle drops, tailored coats. Six seasons of British export swagger. Fashion walked off the screen into streetwear.
