the First One and maybe second Looks about the Age For a Gang Member .
I Would Think Once someone Grew Up they would Change be Dead or in jail

Then again I Think of Gangs as Street Gangs of Punks

Most of the original gang formed in the late 1880s were between 11 and 30 years old. Together they robbed, pick-pocketed and violently assaulted their way through Birmingham’s poverty-stricken urban slums. Using belt buckles, metal-tipped boots, fire irons and stone-filled handkerchiefs, they inspired fear among the general population in those areas.

As their criminality became more organised in the early 1900s, they had been joined by and orchestrated by older hardened criminals, branching out into bookmaking, racketeering, hijacking, smuggling and police bribery.

First use of the term in print was in a small article in the Birmingham Mail on 24 March 1890, headlined: “Murderous Outrage at Small Heath. A Man’s Skull Fractured”. The newspaper report briefly recounts that a young man called George Eastwood had stopped in a pub for a ginger beer and “Shortly afterwards, several men known as the “peaky blinders” gang came in.” Eastwood, aware of the violent reputation of the gang, left the pub but they followed him in order to rob him, beat him with buckled belts and left him bleeding profusely from severe wounds.

Agree! And to answer Jeff's original question, it was sold and distributed in 183 countries, largely driven by Netflix acquiring the streaming rights. It was the most watched Netflix series in a number of European countries.
