GOD season six. Fucking destroyed me
I have so many thoughts...
Like first of all, I LOVE how the whole season was making you think. Oh fuck. This is it. This is where everyone's going to die. This is when they're finally going to be outmatched. Even if you dont really believe thats what's going to happen, the possibility is there, because it's the Last Season. No garuntees.
For a show that repeated the same conflict of "Tommy's up against a NEW, BIGGER ENEMY this time, is he Finally Going To Be Defeated?" For Six Seasons, they did a Remarkable job of making each one still feel tense, but I think the added uncertainty of this being the finale made it even More impactful. I was literally squirming through some of those tense build ups.
I also love all of the tie ins and echoes. I feel like the theme of the war and being soldiers, while still present, was sort of less centralized as the show went on. But for this season, it was back in full focus, and I think that was really smart- taking everything back to its roots, ending where they began. Reminding you that war and trauma was the lynchpin for all of this.
On that note, I think Arthur's ending was honestly the most bittersweet, but appropriate. I know we get that letter at the table later, but I think his last Actual scene being him sitting on the pavement with his war buddies, saying "We're still in France," is significant and gorgeously sad. Arthur's internal conflict through this entire show has been his struggle against the past and how it haunts him, how he can't deal with these kinds of things and it constantly gets in his way. So I think his finale being him, just sitting in that quiet grief, is fitting. He didn't defeat his demons- but he wasnt defeated, either. He avenged Polly, and as far as we know, he'll keep on living. Get better, if he can. It's a fitting place to leave him.
Michael's end was also interesting. My sister and I both Shouted when Johnny Dogs showed up- that was such a great reveal (I may be biased bc I Love Johnny Dogs but shh). And when Tommy actually killed him, I was So caught off guard. It was interesting, there was this inherent expectation for this to be drawn out, for Tommy to give some long speech or profound moral. But no, he just fuckin Does It. I think it was a just end, considering Michael's history.
The table scene was so good, too. I like that they gave us hints for some of the characters, what they'll do- Ada being told to go into politics, Duke with his hair cut like a Peaky, implying that he'll be carrying on the business. And god, they made me feel so bad for Ada by the end...
This is all out of order but actually, speaking of Duke- when they brought him up in what, episode three? I was Really concerned. I did Not like the idea of them bringing in a new character so close to the end, and thought it was too little time to make me like him. But I was pleasantly surprised! I think they did a really good job; they didnt focus on him Too much, but when they gave him time they used it to show him as an interesting character. They didnt make me Fully invested, but that wasnt the point. His purpose was to show us that there will be new blood, that there are kids to take up the torch. It was a good way of doing that
Lizzie... god, Lizzie. I cant tell you how many times this season I had to Take A Moment to just Recover from everything they put her through. And god the ACTING??? Her emotional scenes were Incredible. I seriously think Natasha O'Keefe deserves an award for that performance. I love that they were able to introduce conflict between the two of them without making me Hate either of them. Lizzie's frustration and sadness were Understandable and her reactions, even if dramatic, didnt Feel like it, because their feelings were so well communicated. Im glad she left Tommy, honestly. Even if I love him, he was right that he wasn't good for her, at least how he was. She deserved a happy life with Charles, and I hope she got it.
As for Finn- Im also glad he left. Dont get me wrong, I like him, but Finn was just clearly never cut out for the business. He wanted to be, but he wasn't. I like to think after he left the Shelby's, he went back to his wife and just... made a normal life with her. Found a trade he liked, had kids. It'd be much better for him.
Billy was a rat, but whats new. I think he was a good plot element and a fine character- the writing was good enough to make me feel for him, even when I didnt like him.
And finally... the Ending.
They never really convinced me that Tommy was gonna shoot himself. I felt some tension, but all I could think about was Polly saying he wouldnt be killed by a bullet. But that didnt make it not horribly sad to watch him take off all his gold and arrange it with all the photos of his family...
And when he saw Ruby??? MY HEART. I was crying, literally. But the twist with the PHOTO?
We watched it over three days so I didnt recognize the doctor immediately, but when it clicked I LOST it. I feel like Tommy not being sick Should be a bad twist, but I honestly find myself enjoying it still. I think that Tommy dying would have been a fitting end for the show, but it also would have been... depressing. And Peaky is depressing, and bitter, and sometimes cruel- but it was never really hopeless. I feel like even through all the awfulness and tragedy, they always had this underlying, heartfelt humanity that kept me from being left exhausted. There was always Charlie and Curly and Johnny Dogs, a promise to be and do better, and the family and their love for each other.
And that was really the building theme of the season! Of getting better- trying and failing, sacrificing for it, finding reasons for it. At every turn of Tommy's journey this season, he was asked if he wanted to Be Better. And when he failed to, he sank further into himself.
Thats why, at the end, when he spares the doctor, its so impactful- hes finally choosing to Be Better.
And the mention of Armistice; he references the 11th hour, but I think hes more so alluding to the 11th of November Armistice- the peace treaty that ended World War 1. Tommy finally ended his war. He signed his treaty, and he walked away- when he heard that bell, he decided it was time to leave France, for good. "Peace At Last".
And that final shot... I mean, come on. The burning of his effigy- the funeral for the man he used to be. Riding off on a white horse, mirroring the opening scene of the show where he rode in on a black one. Transformation, redemption. FUCK.
In conclusion: Peaky Blinders was a Damn Good Show.

Acá con mi gran profesor de historia ! que de amarla me muera,
que dejen una palmera
sobre mi tumba plantada.
Así cuando todo calle,
en el olvido disuelto,
recobrará el tronco esbelto
la elegancia de su talle.
En la copa, que su alteza
doble con melancolía,
se abatirá la sombría
dulzura de su cabeza.
Entregará con ternura
la flor, al viento sonoro,
el mismo reguero de oro
que dejaba su hermosura.
Como un suspiro al pasar,
palpitando entre las hojas,
murmurará mis congojas
la brisa crepuscular.
Y mi recuerdo ha de ser,
en su angustia sin reposo,
el pájaro misterioso
que vuelve al anochecer.

listen, i love cillian murphy, paul anderson, sophie rundle, joe cole, harry kirton and helen mccrory as much as the next person, but if you're going to make a show about a bunch of siblings (arthur, tommy, john, ada and finn) with a half romani father and a fully romani mother (+ half romani aunt, aka polly) who are called the g slur, marry into other romani families (esme lee and aberama gold), go to romani camps (?), have funerals in a romani family's home (john's funeral at the lee family home), are cursed by other romani people (grace and ruby), speak (theorically it should be) the romani language, go to romani fortune tellers and make it a point to say they're romani, the least they could do is hire romani actors, not white, blue eyed europeans.

I think the twist of Tommy not being sick was Good, Actually
Cuz listen- like I said in my last post, the themes of this season were centered around Getting Better. Tommy had been trying and failing to be Better for years. If he had really been sick and died at the end, what would that have said? It would have been the show going "Yep! If you do bad things youre doomed to never improve and you will be awful until you die". Like. I know the show is morally gray, but it was never that completely pessimistic.
And Tommy doesnt get a wholly happy ending! Lizzie still left him, he has loose ends untied, people will probably still be trying to kill him for however long he goes on after this. We dont even know what he'll do next.
But whatever that is, he will be Better. Because he was never sick; he was never hopeless. He was never too far gone, he only thought he was.
They didn't die in those tunnels. It was that mentality, that they would never get out, that lead them all down this awful, bloody road. If they had just known thar they were still alive, that they could get better- then they wouldn't have gotten so much worse.
And now that Tommy Knows that, he can mourn that broken, dead-man-walking that he thought he was. And Tommy Shelby can finally Live.
I think it was a Beautiful sentiment, personally.
