Britain is a mixture of despair and hedonism in 1919 in the aftermath of the Great War. Returning soldiers, newly minted revolutions and criminal gangs are fighting for survival in a nation rocked by economic upheaval. One of the most powerful gangs of the time is the Peaky Blinders, run by returning war hero Thomas Shelby and his family. But Thomas has bigger ambitions than just running the streets. When a crate of guns goes missing, he recognizes an opportunity to advance in the world because crime may pay but legitimate business pays better. Trying to rid Britain of its crime is Inspector Chester Campbell, who arrives from Belfast to try to achieve that goal.

3.5/5
Peaky Blinders returns in fairly bonkers style for its handsome, cinematic fever dream of a final season. Go to Full Review

Peaky Blinders goes out in predictably thrilling fashion. Go to Full Review
Deborah Ross Daily Mail (UK) 03/07/2022
4/5
It’s all here. The violence, yes, but also the flat caps, the undercut hairdos that have become inexplicably popular, the Birmingham burr, the contemporary music, the slo-mo, the gloomy oppressiveness. Go to Full Review
James Croot The Post NZ 03/02/2023
Even six seasons in, this is still one of the most gritty, gripping and genuinely addictive shows to come out of the UK this century. Go to Full Review

3/5
The series, Peaky Blinders shines because it’s complex, thoughtful to watch, and forces us to think about morals and the greyness between right and wrong. It’s hard to mindlessly watch the show, which is what makes it compelling. It’ll be missed. Go to Full Review

Vanessa R @RT39407246 6d 5/5 to all the seasons See more Stephen O @RT84650450 Apr 19 Set against the chilling rise of fascism in 1933, this beautifully bleak chapter masterfully confronts Tommy’s deepest inner demons, delivering a haunting and emotionally heavy exploration of grief, power, and survival. See more Torben E @Torben Apr 8 And so this amazing series ends with a very good season. The sixth and final season shows all strong points from previous seasons but also the weak points. In my opinion, season 4 was the best. Cillian Murphy versus Adrien Brody, combined with a straightforward, compelling plot...that was a perfect cinematic experience. Unfortunately, season 5 deviated from that simple formula and so did the final season. Too many sub-plots that went nowhere, no brilliant adversary like Luca Changretta in season 4. In this season, the biggest enemy of Thomas Shelby is Thomas Shelby himself. That's usually interesting but not over the course of six seasons. Ultimately, I was hoping for a more surprising conclusion to this epic family-/crime-drama but I guess the producers wanted to play it safe. Probably understandable. But despite the above-mentioned weak points, I can definitely recommend the final season. This series had a great run, amazing actors, an unparalleled style and interesting characters. See more Ryan O. @ryanoc7 Apr 2 Great show overall but season 6 sucks. Nothing happens, very little plot moves it forward. Its also over-stylized…less is more See more Krystle B @RT33533819 Mar 24 This show is about as close to perfection as I could ask for. The characters, the storyline, the music are all superb. My only complaint would be the relationships that seem to take away from the tale, rather than add to it. And while Polly was the absolute best, I personally felt like the other female characters should have gotten their due respects, which I think were almost lacking. Their roles were integral to this family and the businesses, but I suppose back then women weren't ever appreciated or even acknowledged, most of the time. Anyway, I loved this show! See more Marco L @decatur555 Mar 22 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 Read all reviews
