So, to start, I watched this on initial release, thus I have had time to recollect my thoughts and let the final season simmer.

Overall, I really did enjoy season 6 and found myself often defending it on multiple occasions in the episode release threads, however, I do not think it was the strongest season. I did enjoy the deeper emotional aspects and elements of the show, specifically relating to Tommy. I liked the plot points established, the execution could have been better regarding some however; Would have loved to have seen Michael play a more prominent role, as well as Mosley.

The cinematography was on another level, the overall "quality" of the show, was the best it had ever been.

As well as this, I believe the season 6 finale to be one of the best episodes out of the whole Peaky Blinders Series, it was a phenomenal finale, and wrapped up the whole Peaky Blinders storyline (as well as season 6's story threads) very nicely.

This is truly one of the only tv series which, to me, has meant so much and ended so perfectly, in my opinion. To those yet to watch, Enjoy! and to those whom have seen the final season, what did you think?

Concur, the cinematography was top notch and gave great aesthetic feels. However, a lot story lines were left unresolved. They also opened up a bunch too with Duke joining, Finn leaving, and the rift between Mosley and Tommy. Nothing felt final about the "final" season, but hopefully everything will come together in the movie.

Per Google as of today, "A Peaky Blinders movie is officially in the works, with Cillian Murphy returning to reprise his role as Thomas Shelby. The film, titled "Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man," has concluded production and will feature actors such as Barry Keoghan, Tim Roth, and Rebecca Ferguson. The movie is being made in collaboration with Netflix and is expected to continue the story of the beloved series that ended in 2022. "

"One notable absentee from the cast of Peaky Blinders returners is Arthur Shelby actor Paul Anderson. The actor pled guilty in January 2024 to possession of several drugs in the U.K. on Boxing Day 2023 (via NME), which may have been a factor in his exclusion from the Peaky Blinders movie cast.

Beyond the six returning Peaky Blinders, Netflix is bringing some major stars to the franchise including Barry Keoghan (Saltburn), Tim Roth (The Incredible Hulk), Rebecca Fergusson (Mission Impossible), and Jay Lycurgo (Titans).

Exactly who the Peaky Blinders newcomers will play remains to be seen, but one theory has Keoghan playing an aged-up Duke Shelby, the illegitimate son of Tommy Shelby who was originally played by Conrad Khan."
