Without a doubt, I can say that Peaky Blinders is the best drama show I've ever seen. It is so masterful and this final season of the show did not disappoint. The masterful script, acting, and camera-work are so captivating. I can't think of any show that makes me feel more immersed and tense and engaged. Sure, it is an intense show that has very violent and difficult moments that aren't for everyone. It is gangster through and through, but it also a show about political struggles and psychology as much as it is about family. Season 6 is a rush of tragedy and tension, death and Nazism looming on the horizon. But it ends somewhat unresolved, which I think is fitting. A little disappointment, but it makes sense. I've never liked a lead character more than Tommy Shelby. And I want more!! I heard rumors that there will be a movie and maybe more, even. Watching the Shelby family enter WWII would be so interesting.
Well done, Stephen Knight and company. You have made a masterpiece.
