2. Peaky Blinders
Cillian Murphy stars as Tomas Shelby, leader of the Shelby family and the Peaky Blinders gang, in a post World War I England. The gang draws the unwanted attention of both the law and rival gangs in the country, while the cunning “Tommy” weaves his way through each of them.

Shameless (US)
A remake of its British counterpart, the US version follows the dysfunctional Gallagher family, led by deadbeat dad Frank (William H. Macy) and oldest daughter/matriarch Fiona (Emmy Rossum). At times hilarious, depressing, and gravely dramatic, Shameless basically fits the “black comedy” label like a shoe. While the story line often takes leaps and bounds into the absurd, it's held together thanks to endearing performances by an excellent cast.
