Stephen O @RT84650450 Apr 19, 2026 A phenomenal return to their street-level roots, season four delivers a relentlessly tense, claustrophobic war against the American Mafia that stands as some of the series' most gripping and suspenseful storytelling. See more Torben E @Tales_from_Elsewhere Apr 6, 2026 While season 3 was a bit weaker than the first two seasons (due to a convoluted plot), season 4 really knocks it out of the park. Here, the (Mafia) plot is way more straightforward and suspenseful. Think of "The Untouchables". Regarding this season, it's super-easy to get caught in some serious binge-watching. It is also a lesson in acting-masterclass. Adrien Brody as a Mafia-crime boss? Absolutely amazing. Regarding the last season I complained that there was no real acting-counterweight/adversary to Cillian Murphy, Helen McCrory and Tom Hardy...well, now I got my wish fulfilled. Brody owns every scene he's in and just from watching I believe that he had lots of fun, playing this role. In many ways, so far season 4 is the best in terms of acting, story-telling and setting. A (very) minor complaint would be (now as before) character development. Some of the secondary characters don't get a chance to evolve; they repeat the same mistakes and practically do the same things as before. See more Marco L @decatur555 Mar 22, 2026 Peaky Blinders is one of the most stylish and fully realized crime dramas of recent years, but what makes it great is that the style is backed by real substance. The production design, music, camera work, and atmosphere turn Birmingham into a world that feels dirty, elegant, and dangerous at the same time. Cillian Murphy is phenomenal as Tommy Shelby, but the series also benefits from an exceptional ensemble cast that gives weight to every alliance, betrayal, and family conflict. Beyond the gangster story, it is also about ambition, trauma, class, politics, and survival. Sometimes it can feel a little too in love with its own mythology, but it never becomes empty. Sharp, intense, beautifully made, and led by one of the strongest performances on television. See more matthias s @Thescreenasvor Feb 13, 2026 Season 4 delivers weight and spectacle, but it never quite earns the "best season" label people give it. The stakes are undeniably higher, the performances sharper, and the tone heavier, yet something feels missing. Earlier seasons had a tighter grip; this one impresses more than it pulls you in. The story is darker and more ambitious, but also less intimate, trading tension for scale. It’s still very good television — stylish, brutal, and well-acted — just not as gripping as what came before. Expectations soar, and while it reaches high, it doesn’t fully stick the landing.
