I’m kind of bummed it didn’t wrap up, I liked that about this show. Six episodes and you got a great wrapped up story. Oh well, broke up the formula I guess. Looking forward to next year. All his suicide scenes are great. Something bad happens and you can just see his suicide gears turning.

finally got around to watching season 5, not impressed. It felt way too artsy / "look at how cool I look in slow mo MTV video mode" and the plots were pretty banal after a cool setup of Protestant IRA vs Chinese vs Peaky vs fascists vs commies. I wish they had focused more on just one single thing like the opium trade and possible cross atlantic trade than try to do everything and do none of it well. Michael and his American wife sub plot was absolutely awful but seems to be one of the core plots of the next season.
I imagine the next season is gonna bring in Al Capone because of course every gangster show set in this time period has to and the peak of his career was 1925-1931, and the show currently is set in 1930. I really hope they don't. The fascism stuff was sorta interesting but Mosley just came off as a big doofus so it was weird to see our boy Tommy so scared of him. He's a real guy and I guess the events of the show so far track his life, he did indeed fuck his sister in law and mother in law LOL

This TV show went from very interesting base material with good casting and decent scenario to Sons of Anarchy "hey guys let's retaliate" tier with dumb plots, campy situations and MTV editing. It's enraging when you happen to have such stellar actors like both Cillian Murphy, Sam Neill, Tom Hardy and Aidan Gillen in your TV show. Also it's from the guy who did Taboo, an excellent miniseries, who also wrote Eastern Promises. What happened?

Yeah just binged through season 6, its on Netflix in USA. Nowhere near as strong as season 1 but still interesting. Tom Hardy steals the show every time he is on. Kinda ludicrous the extreme lengths the "plotting" goes to. Its a real sadness that the actress who played Polly died IRL last year, she was the glue that really held the show together and definitely her loss heavily impacted the show.
There is no season 7 of Peaky Blinders, they are currently thinking about doing a movie but there is no script, it wouldn't start filming until late 2023 for a 2024 release so years away if it even happens. Or maybe they'll do some spinoffs.
But honestly the show IS Cillian Murphy and Arthur, without those two I don't think it'll be good.
