A small thread about the similarities / parrallels between #PeakyBlinders and #Narcos-mexico . Both have a major difference in the story but there is pattern which is common in both. https://twitter.com/sonnenshei/status/1261712211069661186?s=19

Both have the story of kingpins who rise from the bottom to become one of the most powerfull person in the society

Both lived in a small town were people are treated as scum. Brimingham (UK), small heath contains many gypsies and sinaloa in mexico is considered as dirtbags.

Both Thomas shelby and Miguel Felix served for their country. Former was WW-2 fighter wherein the later was a policeman

Both had a smiliar motto. To become a powerfull person so that they could be respected by everyone

They formed allies with persons from other cities and gained control over them.
Shelby made allies with Lee family , Abrehama gold and Alfie. Felix united all the plaza owners and formed an organisation Thomas took control most of uk whereas Felix controlled most of mexico

Thomas shelby was a bookmaker and then went on to become a Member in the parliment. Felix gallardo was a basic worker of narco trafficker ,then went on to become a god father.

Both showed the world their arrival by killing powerfull persons. Thomas shelby shot billy kimber and took his business in the same way felix shot his boss and took up trafficking business.

They preferred their brought up place as most protected one. Thomas and his family came back to small heath after knowing italians were after them. Felix came back to sinaloa after a firing took place at him in Guadalajara.

Their family was concerned and always wanted these men to come out the business .But they did'nt listen and continued it all day.

The revenge seekers were the one's that gave them a great threat. The killing of italian made his son to seek revenge on Shelby family . The killing of DEA agent triggered US agents and made them take revenge on the traffickers

Thomas shelby and Felix gallardo were given second life. They both were merely on the knife edge but somehow handled the situation.

Thomas and felix always wanted more then they wanted which led them to downfall. Felix was turned down by his allies and Thomas shelby wanted to be the leader of fascist party then he found the person he cannot defeat.

These were some of the parrallels that struck me while watching. Do give it a read if you had watched both the series. @ThePeakyBlinder @NarcosNetflix
