The film is set during World War II and picks up where the long-running series left off. The drama was set in Birmingham, England from 1919 to 1934 and aired from 2013 to 2022. Marpy's character captivated audiences with its gangster script, unexpected twists and turns, and the ever-charming and powerful Shelby who outsmarted and outsmarted him. And sometimes he overtakes the enemy who intentionally becomes his ally.
