I can’t even be mad with Season 6 because it was obvious Polly was gonna be a major component of it (Tommy’s war with Michael would’ve driven her to the brink) and Helen’s passing, I won’t say doomed the season, but unavoidably put a very dark cloud over it.
It’s crazy cuz sad to say I feel her passing made the show that much more impactful starting season 6 seeing her passing hit so hard (at the time I didn’t know she passed IRL) but you can see how much it changed and impacted Tommy
@@ItsYent It definitely made the season more impactful. I will say, though, that given when her IRL passing occurred, the show wasn’t able to give her character more a noble, more dignified death. John even went out in a blaze of glory with his army rifle against a bunch of Tommy Guns. We couldn’t see her character get a more impactful death.
@@kylebernadyn2465 true but they did the best they could and having it combined with Tommy’s worst defeat in the series having a timeskip where he basically is a reformed man was very touching I can’t tell you enough how many times I’ve watched his scene with Jack in the chapel where he talks about killing his former self who drank whiskey
I think Season 5 is my favorite. It was a welcomed departure from the formula of seasons 1-4 where the antagonist/villain is introduced early on, and then through the course of the season and one (or two) twists, the villain is defeated and Tommy wins. The season 5 finale subverted those expectations and Tommy loses to Mosley, proving that he’s the toughest foe that Tommy has faced yet.
Here's my issue with season 5 though. Mosley didn't feel like an intimidating villain. I never once hated him or even cared about him in the slightest, same with Sabini. In contrast, Campbell and Luca made me care for them, I enjoyed watching them on screen and how they contrasted as well as how similar they were to Tommy. I'd rank the show 1, 4, 3, 6, 5.
@@alphamega1811that’s crazy bro. To me, Mosley was the first antagonist where I was like wow this guy is actually scary, and they make it clear that tommy feels unsure about the guy and his strength in several occasions. Season 5 #1 for me
@@ChronicMane9as I finished all of the seasons, the one that really scared me is the Priest and Luca Changretta. Campbell is just annoying and you just want him to be gone, well it goes the same to the Priest but he really is scary and beat the shit out of Tommy
My list would be 1. Season 2 2. Season 1 3. Season 3 4. Season 4 5. Season 5 or 6 6. Season 5 or 6 Best series of all time, and I love all of them, but I was just a little more keen with the blinders, before they made to much money.
Good list mate! That seems to be a general consensus as well, people find season 5 + 6 very dark and depressing (I have a video on that coming out soon)
My rankings are: 6. Season 6 (finale best ep of Peaky blinder imo tho, dk I just absolutely love that ep) 5. Season 1 4. Season 2 3. Season 5 2. Season 3 1. Season 4
My favorite Alfie line when he asked about his dog and tommy said "you can have him back" And Alfie says "no, its better that he thinks im dead" Funny shit
I hate the 6th season. Not because it was the "end" but because of the horrible ending to the 5 season Michael arch. Dude literally sat in prison all season, but was built up as Tommy's "rival" for 4 seasons.... Also the strange directorial choices that really hurt the suspension of disbelief. The light highlighting Mosley's wife as she first appears was so strange given nothing like that had been done in the show prior. So many ways to subconsciously establish a character as evil, but that was just weirdly obvious. It made the story feel even more thrown togetger, like a big sign saying, "oh hey yea this is the bad guy now"
Yeah I definitely get what you mean, the biggest let down for me in season 6 was the lack of Michael as an antagonist, especially considering he could have been a great final villain... Helen Mccrory's unfortunate passing lead to this decision of him being 'stagnant' I believe. Also, I know what you mean with the 'strange directorial choices' and that lighting of Diana and Tommy was weird... but besides that, I still think the cinematography and stylishness of the show was great!
@PowerHubShorts I definitely loved most of the directorial choices.. honestly just the one that bothered me a lot. Maybe it's because the season felt disjointed and anticlimactic, but that one lighting moment was like a switch in my head, and I didn't enjoy the rest of the season lol. I definitely thought they would have pulled a Michael redemption arch. Would have fit with Polly's last wishes, they could have worked in a nice farewell to Helen McCrory that way, and frankly killing your nephew, but sparing the Nazi doctor felt like a weird choice too 😂
@@patrickconrad396 Him sparing the Nazi doctor was more so the "end" for Tommy's 'evil' life... the 11th hour means peace etc... so that i'm ok with. As for Michael, he killed him because he straight out betrayed the family, and quite directly attempted to kill Tommy. Part of me wanted to see Michael have a redemption in the way that he was actually working with Tommy the whole time infiltrating the American gangs etc to bring them down (including Jack Nelson) and then give Peaky complete control of Boston and England.
I agree Jesse Eden (Charlie Murphy) deserved more screen time. This is coming from someone who first watched Halo with her playing Mckee, which she killed, but I think the story could've been lifted a little more from Jesse being on screen more. I agree season 2 was by far the best.
For me it goes 1. Season 2 2. Season 4 3. Season 3 (these 3 seasons are absolutely masterful) 4. Season 6 (personally i loved how intimate it felt) 5. Season 1 6. Season 5 (still good)
Season 6 missed so much. Season 5 basically teed up season 6 for what I was expecting to be the best season ever but completely missed with Aberamas death not being avenged and the billy boys just completely disappearing. Also arguably the most rushed season due to polly’s death. Don’t know why you put season 4 last over 6 when season 6 definitely had more plotholes/rush to it.
It's all personal opinion really. First of though, Aberama was avenged as the IRA woman: Laura McKee actually orchestrated Polly, Barney and Aberama's deaths, not the Billy Boys. And for the Billy Boys, in real history, when season 6 takes places, the actual gang had fizzled out with regard to their prominence and work for fascists such as Mosley, so that is perhaps why the weren't in season 6... still would have loved to see Arthur go to-to-toe with Jimmy. As for my rankings...for me, season 6 had far superior key scenes than season 4, such as the ones mentioned in the video, as well as this, the season 6 finale imo once again, is greater than all the episodes in season 4. I do agree there were some unnecessary plot inconveniences such as Duke etc, but no plot holes or "plot-twist" moments that were as extreme or unnecessary as Polly's fake betrayal or Arthurs fake death. And finally, they salvaged a pretty decent plot after the unfortunate passing of Helen McCrory.
I dont really understand why season 6 and 5 have such mixed reception, I felt the atmosphere and direction was so dark, sad and lonely, that final scene in an episode of season 5 with the swan ballet was genuinely one of the most powerful scenes in anything ive seen. The musical choices are stellar, 5.17 is a beautiful track, when Arthur and Tommy hug in the finale, there are just so so many powerful moments. I honestly just wish that Michael was a scarier villain that broke the mold with Tommy's domination, and I didnt like what they did with Finn at all (I never realised I was meant to dislike him, I thought he was just being mislead by everyone)
I think its because in the earlier seasons the show was more of a pulp anti-hero crime show rather than a dark and gritty one. Sure the main characters were criminals who did bad things, but the show would always make up excuses for their behavior making everyone they targeted be worse people and would indulge in that wish fulfillment fantasy through Tommy by making him this near untouchable badass that almost every female character ends up wanting to sleep with. Like prior to season 5 the worst thing any of the Blinders do was killing Luca's father and blowing up a train, but the former is framed as a "this is leagues worse than anything we've done before" and the latter was framed as a last resort. You could very easily watch the first 4 seasons as fun popcorn flicks featuring protagonists that you can mostly unambiguously root for. In season 5 and 6 however, a lot of that pulpy anti-hero vibe is gone and we really get to see these characters be shitty criminals and have to deal with the negative fallout of their actions far more than ever before. They're still trying to be good people and the villains are way worse, but a lot of their actions become more unjustifiable(like Arthur maiming Linda's friend and almost marital raping her) and the characters have little to any clear or clean victories. So if you were someone who liked the first 4 seasons as more of a pulp action crime flick and not as a gritty drama, the seasons 5 and 6 would probably be pretty hard to watch and enjoy.
Also the plot Lines were bad that is why. Season 6 for example, Micheal’s character arc was very poorly executed. He was in jail whole season and in the end, just boom no pay off or even slight pay off or anything major or chaotic coming from him, it just happend cause of plot?. And Tommy’s journey to the wilderness? And there was so much filler where the scenes should have been much shorter. Season 6 despite it’s pacing problems and plot 6x1 and 6x6 was still good. But the direction and plot in general wasn’t. It kinda felt like season 6 was just extra or bonus ampting up for the upcoming movie they have coming. Which i hope will be a banger
for me the list would be 1. season 3 2. season 5 3. season 4 4. season 2 5. season 1 6. season 6 season six felt so rushed and incomplete, due to the death of helen mccory. It had so much potential...
Wow! That is a huge Compliment and has made my day! Thank you so much!! I'm really happy you enjoyed it! I notice that there isn't really much "good" quality peaky content on YT, so im trynna fill that gap
Season 1 - fantastic first season for a tv show that does a great job of establishing the characters Season 2 - Masterpiece. New characters are great (Alfie!), Campbell is a very threatening antagonist, the character arcs progress. And the final episode is perfect and sets the stage well for season 3. Season 3 - it's... okay. Killing off Grace so soon was a poor move and plot feels all over the place with the Russians and Italians. There's some stuff that really irks me (the hamfisted connection between Michael and the priest, Tommy becoming stupid and losing his son). And the train getting destroyed has no major impact going forwards. Still some good moments from the supporting characters Season 4 - VERY good. Its a thrilling game of cat and mouse between Luca and Tommy, and the death of John sets the mafia up as a formidable force. The stuff with Jessie Eden doesn't really work, but that final scene with Tommy's returning trauma now that his battle is won is amazing. Season 5 - loved it. Constantly trying to gage Michael's motives and Tommy is falling apart, while Arthurs character arc hits its turbulent peak. The Billy Boys and Moseley are such loveably hateful opponents. Great to see how psychologically broken Tommy gets. And that cliffhanger! Season 6 - major disappointment to end the series on. The first and last episode was pretty good but everything in between was painfully poor. Michael spends the entire season in prison only to get shot in the last episode after an anti-climactic attempt to kill Tommy. Where are the Billy Boys? How does Arthur properly recover from his addiction? We don't need characters like Esme and Alfie to return again. The focus on Tommy is still good though (masterful, symbolic final scene)
Great analysis mate! I don't think season 6 as a whole was disappointing, my biggest complaint would be the Michael plot line as you mentioned: but we can't be too mad as due to the result of Helen Mccrory's passing etc, they salvaged it the best they could.
@@PowerHubShorts Yeah, I think Mccrorys passing is definitely the main reason why aspects of season 6 fell flat. It's very likely she would have had a push pull dynamic with Michael while he was in that cell and would have played a key role in getting Arthur off his addict. But for what it's worth, the final scene is still fantastic. Tommy is reborn - he started the show on a black horse and departs on a white horse. The wagon burning away with his old life inside it also emphasises this monumental growth which I can't wait to see further explored in the movie.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who loved season 5 I think what made me enjoy it so much was Tommy and Mosley’s dynamic it felt like he was an equal to him and I was always trying to figure out either of their motives. The other seasons are great too but I thought the show peaked at 5 imo
I actually really really liked season 6 my major problem with it is it feels like Arthur doesn’t get much screen time or anything to do that season until the end.
I would rank it slightly different. I agree on season 2 being 1st place, and on season 1 being 4th place, but I switched some stuff up- 1. Season 2 2. Season 3: While Mosley was the only guy to have beaten Tommy, I would argue he wasn't really as intimidating as the priest was, until Tommy beat the priest. Mosley just was worse at always keeping Tommy on his toes, especially since he didn't antagonize Tommy from the 1st moment, unlike the priest. 3. Season 5: Mosley is still a badass monster btw, 4. Season 1 5. Season 4: I didn't really enjoy Luca, but at least I was interested and constantly intrigued with where the vendetta would go, something I might not be able to say about some other season... 6. Season 6: I feel like I didn't really care about this season. Main issue I had was I felt like I needed Tommy to continue against Mosley, and instead he just left. The only one moment I loved was (SPOILERS PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS NEXT LINE YOU HAVE BEEN WORNED THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT YET WATCHED THIS SEASON PLEASE STOP READING THIS BECAUSE THE SPOILER COMES IN 3, 2, 1!) when we learned that Tommy wasn't really ill and that his doctor was lying to him.
Your list is pretty great man, and i agree on your points... I really wish season 6 focused more on Nelson/Mosley etc, but, I still enjoyed it, and felt as if it was a fitting enough ending for the actual tv series! Hope you enjoyed the video
Respect that list, Season 5 defo underrated. Every season’s so good, makes it very difficult to rank. Personally: 1) Season 1 2) Season 4 3) Season 2 4) Season 3 5) Season 5 6) Season 6
All brilliant IMO.Different episodes from different season make it hard to to put in any order for me.Everything about Peaky Blinders was 👏 Brilliant .
@@PowerHubShorts yeah fair enough for me it would probably be: 4,6,1,3,5,2 (best to worst)(but I love them all) - I haven't watched in a while though am going to rewatch it in a couple weeks
Omg. I actually laughed so hard at the poll showing Tommy win against God by a sliver. Imo just goes to show how Godly Cillian's performance was. I haven't watched all great pieces of cinema there are, but a fair share and I don't think I've seen better acting than that. May be Travis Fimmel as Ragnar but that's about it.
All I know is this. When ever I watch this show it takes me back to a time in my life when I first discovered it where weirdly without knowing it I was mirroring Thomas Shelby attitude before I ever watched the show. I was single and out to make as much money as I could. So when I rewatch it now, it takes me back to that small one room I was living in at the time (like season one) and I sit now in my big house (like later season) married with kids thinking "when did I get here?" Season 1. was so different, much more humor, smiling and laughter. Had its own feel. 2 was a bit different but great after that once they were living large the whole vibe changed.
Great ranking Here is mine: 1. S5 2. S6 3. S2 4. S3 5. S4 6. S1 Honestly I think they are all great, it was really tough to put the first one on the lowest
This is the one show I can’t rank my favourite seasons in. They all have their strengths and issues. Season 5 and 6 we’re probably just about the most boring for me personally, but both had really strong final episodes which kinda salvaged them Season 3 was a bit cliche with the Russians. I feel their should’ve been only 1 villain instead of going back and forth between the Russians and priest group. I actually agree about season 4 with you, the Italians being portrayed as very powerful when there only ended up a dozen of them was stupid. It makes no sense the peaky blinders would submit to these guys (12 Italians, most of which had died throughout the season but they seemed to respawn for the final episode) was even more stupid and the Al Capone reveal felt like a copout I think the writing for the 1st 2 seasons was the best and campbell was the best villain for me just before Mosley. Only thing I didn’t like was the fact the last scene of season 2 where one of campbells men saved tommy who worked for Churchill, didn’t seem realistic and was for dramatic effect. And then the whole Churchill storyline which should’ve been way more major and utilised took a backseat for the rest of the show sadly So if I HAD to rank based on the fact Season one didn’t have Michael who bored me to death in every scene, I’d go S1, S2, S4, S3, S5, S6
Good analysis! . Mine would be 6-S6 5-S5 4-S3 3-S4 2-S2 1-S1 Season 5 I really liked Mosley, Aberama and Polly, Ada, Arthur and Linds, and Grace coming back. The only thing I hated was Tommy and Lizzie. And it was interesting to see how Tommy had everything, but he was worse off emotionally. The only thing I put it in the 5th place was because of Lizzie lol.
Thank you! Yeah, Tommy and Lizzie were definitely 'something' in season 5 lol. I liked it because it showed that Tommy was literally losing everything, he was facing betrayal from the outside, and possibly the inside (through Lizzie wanting a divorce etc).
@@PowerHubShortsYeah, I liked the part about Tommy and his mind getting worse. But I didn't see how he cared much for Lizzie, since he was cheating on her and would rather take opium and see Grace than be with her. I never interpreted that he was in love with Lizzie in S5 and S6, and you? But apart from that toxic relationship, I loved everything else from S1 to S6, all the stories, characters, villains. I would have loved to see more Michael, Ada, Arthur, Finn in S6.
@@MsRouxe Yeah, agreed. Tommy really only married Lizzie because he had a child with her, whom was conceived when Tommy was thinking about another woman (his pre-war girlfriend). In season 6, Tommy says that he regretted marrying Lizzie, and I think that he truthfully believes that... not only because he doesn't love her the same way as Grace, but also because of the tragedies with Ruby.
@@PowerHubShorts Exactly, I think part of his redemption is realizing the damage he's done to people. Like marrying Lizzie when he doesn't love her and everything he put her through, manipulating Arthur, which is why he goes looking for Linda. And that's why all his past is left behind, and in the movie we're going to see him alone, I don't think he'll come back with Lizzie. Did you like the ending? I really liked seeing Tommy's 'funeral' and that the war finally ended on his head.
@@MsRouxe Yeah I loved the ending tbh, it was as close as we will get to a 'redemption' I reckon; a spiritual death and redemption... especially considering the initial riding on a black horse in season 1 and leaving on a white horse in season 6. My only concern is what they are going to do for the movie, I can see Duke/Isiah etc becoming the proper new leader of the gang; if Tommy wants to leave his criminal life behind... or he could stay in politics and whole-fully try and do good for his country and people in fighting the fascists (we know the movie will take place during WW2).
First time I've seen someone on the internet who shares my opinions about season 4. The writing was sooo weak. I dont understand why people love it so much. I suspect it has a lot to do with the fact that the mafia is the gold standard of the gangster genre, so it was exciting to see them enter this world
Agreed, I never understood the complete love for it, I still like it, but it is by no means the best season of the show. Agreed, movies like the godfather etc would have been a huge motivator for season 4!
Agreed on last place. Really didn’t dig the Changretta plot. I really liked parts of it, but overall it felt meh. Well, if Peaky Blinders can be meh at all😂
Agreed man. I love certain parts, scenes and aspects. Even having one of my favourite episodes as I mentioned, but like you said, it was just overall 'meh'. But Peaky Blinders 'meh' is a like the greatest season of another series 😂
For me: 6th place - Season 6 (season 6 isn't bad but mid) 5th place - Season 1 4th place - Season 2 3rd place - Season 5 2nd place - Season 3 1st place - Season 4
Peaky blinders season 5 is so fucking amazing! It’s such a better payoff then season 6. They should of made it that they changed the story to end the show there with that cliffhanger. And the dark tone that did so well and fit the tone of the final Peaky power plays. just disappeared with the next season.
@@andrewcrow5979 I agree that season 5 was better than 6. They did have different sole messages, such as Tommy's "redemption" being the main focal point of season 6, where in season 5 it was his unsure mental state etc. But yeah, like you've said, I personally enjoyed season 5 more.
I really wished that Sabini appeared again as a major antagonist in the 3rd and 4th seasons. He was such a chilling and sadistic opponent. "Don't say my name.... take my name from his mouth..."
It would have been nice to see him revisited. We did get the little snippet of him being mentioned in season 4 though, which was still a nice little nod!
Seasons 5-6 are the best for me: They were darker, more complex and mature than the other seasons. Also, Tommy's charecter went to extreme, from a gangster to brutal power monster, until the last episode when he finally found peace.
I totally agree with the point that Luca was over the top stereotypical. Was way too much for my taste. And i kinda think Finns character fell short too in the final season.
For me it’s: 6. season 6 (felt rushed and Michael was totally underwhelming) 5. season 3 (I didn’t like the Russians plot) 4. season 5 (it’s ok but the ending wasn’t satisfying) 3. season 2 (I liked Campbell and Grace more in season 1) 2. season 1 (great introduction to the characters) 1. season 4 (I just liked the vendetta storyline and up to the end of this season I really loved Michael as a character)
This video inspired me to rewatch the show because I couldn't remember exactly what happened in each season and I wanted to make a personal list too (I rated each season after watching): 1. Season 4 (9/10) 2. Season 1 (8.5/10) 3. Season 3 (8/10) 4. Season 2 (7.5/10) 5. Season 6 (6.5/10) 6. Season 5 (6/10) Kinda funny that your lowest rank is my highest, guess it's all personal preference
I don't know how season 4 can be bad, it's the best season of them all, Luca is a very threatening villain for Tommy, and all of the episodes are action-packed. How Luca went out was really a bit anti-climactic but that is basically the only weird thing about season 4.
OHHHH! Another one who doesn't like the way Luca went out. I loved Luca as a character. He's probably one of my favorite in the series. For him to go out like that with a, "OHHHH AL CAPONE WOOO" when he didn't even appear in the series is just a let down.
Yeah, a massive let down and sloppy way to end the season. I personally thought Luca was decent, wish he was just written to be more of an actual threat... along the same vein as Vito Corleone/Michael Corleone would have been amazing!
Ok the last episode could not have been better, if you watched the final episode only it means absolutely nothing but if you watching the show in a perfect order its the best ending in anything ive ever seen inception is almost as good, well mabye as good but it was just so good. I just wish i had pulled a 24 watch session of peaky blinders to get the full experience.
My only real gripe with the show as a whole is that we dont get to see the most hated antagonists die which are the fascists in my opinion. The Priest is the 2nd most heinous and vile antagonist for me after Mosley.
The way Luca’s power got lost in the last episode was a little disappointing. From the scariest villian to the weakest in 5 minutes. The way he got betrayed by his men was bad writing, still a top season though
For me: 1: Season 3 (It was a season that felt like medicine after season 2.) 2: Seazon 5 3: Season 6 (I liked it actually) 4: Season 4 or 1 5: Season 4 or 1 6: Season 2 (Unlike most people I really didn't like season 2, a very serious villain in the first season, Campbell had become a sex-addicted lame. Other villian sabini is one of the weakest villian in the series. I also felt like the series had turned from a gang drama to a teen love drama ect.)
My list would be 1. Season 4 (It is most engaging to me) 2.season 5(peak of Tommy) 3.season 2 4.season 3( Tommy fighting his emotions and tough villains) 5.season 1(rise of tommy and love plots) 6.season 6
You know at first I use to hate the fact that Michael wasn’t the main villain . Like I always tell people that is one of the biggest critic for s6 . Well that and the fact tommy didn’t kill Mosley or jack Nelson . But later on after rewatching the whole series I realized that Micheal doesn’t have what it takes to be a villain except he has some huge plot device which would have made a lot of people dislike the show . Like bro just look at every villain the show has ever had . Like jack Nelson was just introduced in s6 but the character was scary as fuck . Especially that scene with him and billy . The only other person I would have chosen to be a villain was that guy who tried to sell opium to Tommy and Arthur . He was kinda OP I’m not gonna lie . Like I also wanted Mosley and jack to die . But after rewatching s6 , I realized why tommy didn’t kill them . Apart from that s6 is probably my favorite. Nice video tho 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! Yeah, I agree, Michael didn't have what it takes to be a "real" threat, well, at least not how he had been written. Perhaps if we did indeed have the 7 seasons + movie that I mentioned, as well as Polly still being in the show, Michael could have become a decent threat... especially if Polly was almost an adviser to Michael, like Vito was to his son Michael in the Godfather part 1. I don't mind that Mosley didn't die tbh, I think he will get arrested in the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie... in real life Mosley did get exiled from England due to his political party and movements, so I can see this being the way which he is 'defeated'. And for Jack, I can see him dying at the hands of Alfie, or fizzling out/going fully into politics.
I like the first 3 seasons the best because that’s when tommy Shelby was tommy fucking Shelby and they just made him weaker in the rest of the seasons like he didn’t feel the boss high value man he was anymore
for me 1:Ssn 5 2:Ssn2 3:SSn1 4:Ssn6 5:Ssn 3(at first it was the worst but its better the second time you watch it) 6: Ssn 4( started of so well and kept on hyping up luca and how the mafia was in a league of its own but then his own men are bought of)
Luka Changretta needed to linger till the last season. Season 4 was my best, followed by seasons 2 and 3. Season 6 was boring until the last episode. It was as if they lacked material and were just pulling themselves along to fill the 6 episodes. I think Polly's departure affected the whole thing. It failed like the last season of The Game of Thrones.
Am I the only one who feels that Tommy not burning the caravan himself in the finale took away from the impact of the ending. If the caravan represents his past life then the fact that he didn’t burn it himself really lessens the moment. Can anyone justify the decision to have the other guy do it? Really want to like the ending but that detail really spoils it for me.
I seriously doubt anyone who has seen both breaking bad and peaky blinders would say peaky blinders has the best series ending for a tv show ever lol. Imo peaky blinders had the potential to have the best ever series ending for a tv show, but failed to deliver largely due to lack of closure. But then again, things were derailed with the death of Helen, so can't fault it too much based on circumstances. But breaking bad takes the cake imo
@@PowerHubShorts wow didn't know that ! Didn't know there was like 2 years in between seasons , no wonder Fins actor grows up so much over the seasons !
I just started season 3. Episode 1 of three was almost unwatchable for me. I had to MAKE myself get through it, and I also had a hard time getting through episode 3 of 3. I'm worried if season 4 is the second to worst. I don't know if I'll be able to get through the series, if 3 is so dismal to me, and 4th is second to last. I REALLY ENJOYED season 2. I felt like Tommy should have identified her as a spy sooner. That was disappointing. But men are easily fooled by pretty girls...
After seeing the whole of season 3, I have dramatically changed my mind about it, and you're right. It's one of the very best seasons. Jesus Christ. Blew my mind mind. The first one was rough, just because of the death and sentimentality. It was like when we lost Ruby. I can't handle death and sentimentality. That's all.
I can’t even be mad with Season 6 because it was obvious Polly was gonna be a major component of it (Tommy’s war with Michael would’ve driven her to the brink) and Helen’s passing, I won’t say doomed the season, but unavoidably put a very dark cloud over it.

@@ItsYent Oh for sure they did the best they could, but that’s the problem right? That was the best they could do given the situation.
I think Season 5 is my favorite. It was a welcomed departure from the formula of seasons 1-4 where the antagonist/villain is introduced early on, and then through the course of the season and one (or two) twists, the villain is defeated and Tommy wins. The season 5 finale subverted those expectations and Tommy loses to Mosley, proving that he’s the toughest foe that Tommy has faced yet.
Yeah, 100% agreed. Season 5's finale is as well one of my top 5 episodes!
Here's my issue with season 5 though. Mosley didn't feel like an intimidating villain. I never once hated him or even cared about him in the slightest, same with Sabini. In contrast, Campbell and Luca made me care for them, I enjoyed watching them on screen and how they contrasted as well as how similar they were to Tommy. I'd rank the show 1, 4, 3, 6, 5.
@@alphamega1811that’s crazy bro. To me, Mosley was the first antagonist where I was like wow this guy is actually scary, and they make it clear that tommy feels unsure about the guy and his strength in several occasions. Season 5 #1 for me
@@ChronicMane9as I finished all of the seasons, the one that really scared me is the Priest and Luca Changretta. Campbell is just annoying and you just want him to be gone, well it goes the same to the Priest but he really is scary and beat the shit out of Tommy
My list would be
1. Season 2
2. Season 1
3. Season 3
4. Season 4
5. Season 5 or 6
6. Season 5 or 6
Best series of all time, and I love all of them, but I was just a little more keen with the blinders, before they made to much money.
Good list mate! That seems to be a general consensus as well, people find season 5 + 6 very dark and depressing (I have a video on that coming out soon)
I loved season 4 but I loved all of them so take that with a grain of salt
I'm the same; I love them as they thrive in Birmingham.
My rankings are:
6. Season 6 (finale best ep of Peaky blinder imo tho, dk I just absolutely love that ep)
5. Season 1
4. Season 2
3. Season 5
2. Season 3
1. Season 4
Nice!
Completely agree on season 4, the way Changretta went out was underwhelming
100% agree
Completely agree
Felt rushed
My favorite Alfie line when he asked about his dog and tommy said "you can have him back"
And Alfie says "no, its better that he thinks im dead"
Funny shit
great line!
I hate the 6th season. Not because it was the "end" but because of the horrible ending to the 5 season Michael arch. Dude literally sat in prison all season, but was built up as Tommy's "rival" for 4 seasons....
Also the strange directorial choices that really hurt the suspension of disbelief. The light highlighting Mosley's wife as she first appears was so strange given nothing like that had been done in the show prior. So many ways to subconsciously establish a character as evil, but that was just weirdly obvious. It made the story feel even more thrown togetger, like a big sign saying, "oh hey yea this is the bad guy now"
Yeah I definitely get what you mean, the biggest let down for me in season 6 was the lack of Michael as an antagonist, especially considering he could have been a great final villain... Helen Mccrory's unfortunate passing lead to this decision of him being 'stagnant' I believe. Also, I know what you mean with the 'strange directorial choices' and that lighting of Diana and Tommy was weird... but besides that, I still think the cinematography and stylishness of the show was great!
@PowerHubShorts I definitely loved most of the directorial choices.. honestly just the one that bothered me a lot. Maybe it's because the season felt disjointed and anticlimactic, but that one lighting moment was like a switch in my head, and I didn't enjoy the rest of the season lol.
I definitely thought they would have pulled a Michael redemption arch. Would have fit with Polly's last wishes, they could have worked in a nice farewell to Helen McCrory that way, and frankly killing your nephew, but sparing the Nazi doctor felt like a weird choice too 😂
@@patrickconrad396 Him sparing the Nazi doctor was more so the "end" for Tommy's 'evil' life... the 11th hour means peace etc... so that i'm ok with. As for Michael, he killed him because he straight out betrayed the family, and quite directly attempted to kill Tommy. Part of me wanted to see Michael have a redemption in the way that he was actually working with Tommy the whole time infiltrating the American gangs etc to bring them down (including Jack Nelson) and then give Peaky complete control of Boston and England.
I agree Jesse Eden (Charlie Murphy) deserved more screen time. This is coming from someone who first watched Halo with her playing Mckee, which she killed, but I think the story could've been lifted a little more from Jesse being on screen more. I agree season 2 was by far the best.
Yeah, I would have liked to seen more of her, and he implications on Tommy etc. Season 2 is amazing!
For me it goes
1. Season 2
2. Season 4
3. Season 3 (these 3 seasons are absolutely masterful)
4. Season 6 (personally i loved how intimate it felt)
5. Season 1
6. Season 5 (still good)
Great list my friend! hope you enjoyed the video.
This is the correct opinion lol!!!!
personally, season 1 was my favourite closely followed by season 2
The first 2 seasons are art
Season 6 was amazimg - not sure why everyone hates it. Definitely not the best season but enjoyed it a lot
Season 6 missed so much. Season 5 basically teed up season 6 for what I was expecting to be the best season ever but completely missed with Aberamas death not being avenged and the billy boys just completely disappearing. Also arguably the most rushed season due to polly’s death. Don’t know why you put season 4 last over 6 when season 6 definitely had more plotholes/rush to it.
It's all personal opinion really. First of though, Aberama was avenged as the IRA woman: Laura McKee actually orchestrated Polly, Barney and Aberama's deaths, not the Billy Boys. And for the Billy Boys, in real history, when season 6 takes places, the actual gang had fizzled out with regard to their prominence and work for fascists such as Mosley, so that is perhaps why the weren't in season 6... still would have loved to see Arthur go to-to-toe with Jimmy.
As for my rankings...for me, season 6 had far superior key scenes than season 4, such as the ones mentioned in the video, as well as this, the season 6 finale imo once again, is greater than all the episodes in season 4. I do agree there were some unnecessary plot inconveniences such as Duke etc, but no plot holes or "plot-twist" moments that were as extreme or unnecessary as Polly's fake betrayal or Arthurs fake death. And finally, they salvaged a pretty decent plot after the unfortunate passing of Helen McCrory.
I dont really understand why season 6 and 5 have such mixed reception, I felt the atmosphere and direction was so dark, sad and lonely, that final scene in an episode of season 5 with the swan ballet was genuinely one of the most powerful scenes in anything ive seen. The musical choices are stellar, 5.17 is a beautiful track, when Arthur and Tommy hug in the finale, there are just so so many powerful moments. I honestly just wish that Michael was a scarier villain that broke the mold with Tommy's domination, and I didnt like what they did with Finn at all (I never realised I was meant to dislike him, I thought he was just being mislead by everyone)
I think its because in the earlier seasons the show was more of a pulp anti-hero crime show rather than a dark and gritty one. Sure the main characters were criminals who did bad things, but the show would always make up excuses for their behavior making everyone they targeted be worse people and would indulge in that wish fulfillment fantasy through Tommy by making him this near untouchable badass that almost every female character ends up wanting to sleep with. Like prior to season 5 the worst thing any of the Blinders do was killing Luca's father and blowing up a train, but the former is framed as a "this is leagues worse than anything we've done before" and the latter was framed as a last resort. You could very easily watch the first 4 seasons as fun popcorn flicks featuring protagonists that you can mostly unambiguously root for.
In season 5 and 6 however, a lot of that pulpy anti-hero vibe is gone and we really get to see these characters be shitty criminals and have to deal with the negative fallout of their actions far more than ever before. They're still trying to be good people and the villains are way worse, but a lot of their actions become more unjustifiable(like Arthur maiming Linda's friend and almost marital raping her) and the characters have little to any clear or clean victories. So if you were someone who liked the first 4 seasons as more of a pulp action crime flick and not as a gritty drama, the seasons 5 and 6 would probably be pretty hard to watch and enjoy.
Also the plot Lines were bad that is why. Season 6 for example, Micheal’s character arc was very poorly executed. He was in jail whole season and in the end, just boom no pay off or even slight pay off or anything major or chaotic coming from him, it just happend cause of plot?. And Tommy’s journey to the wilderness? And there was so much filler where the scenes should have been much shorter. Season 6 despite it’s pacing problems and plot 6x1 and 6x6 was still good. But the direction and plot in general wasn’t. It kinda felt like season 6 was just extra or bonus ampting up for the upcoming movie they have coming. Which i hope will be a banger
for me the list would be
1. season 3
2. season 5
3. season 4
4. season 2
5. season 1
6. season 6
season six felt so rushed and incomplete, due to the death of helen mccory. It had so much potential...
I agree... hopefully the movie makes up for it! Great list btw
Season 5 was so good in setting up so many brillant plotlines, that the fall season 6 took hit so much harder. :(
Season 5 was amazing! Season 6 had a lot to live up to
My ranking (1st best - 6th worst):
1. Season 2
2. Season 1
3. Season 3
4. Season 4
5. Season 6
6. Season 5
Fair enough mate!
This has to be the best peaky blinders season ranking I have seen on UA-cam.
Wow! That is a huge Compliment and has made my day! Thank you so much!! I'm really happy you enjoyed it! I notice that there isn't really much "good" quality peaky content on YT, so im trynna fill that gap
Season 1 - fantastic first season for a tv show that does a great job of establishing the characters
Season 2 - Masterpiece. New characters are great (Alfie!), Campbell is a very threatening antagonist, the character arcs progress. And the final episode is perfect and sets the stage well for season 3.
Season 3 - it's... okay. Killing off Grace so soon was a poor move and plot feels all over the place with the Russians and Italians. There's some stuff that really irks me (the hamfisted connection between Michael and the priest, Tommy becoming stupid and losing his son). And the train getting destroyed has no major impact going forwards. Still some good moments from the supporting characters
Season 4 - VERY good. Its a thrilling game of cat and mouse between Luca and Tommy, and the death of John sets the mafia up as a formidable force. The stuff with Jessie Eden doesn't really work, but that final scene with Tommy's returning trauma now that his battle is won is amazing.
Season 5 - loved it. Constantly trying to gage Michael's motives and Tommy is falling apart, while Arthurs character arc hits its turbulent peak. The Billy Boys and Moseley are such loveably hateful opponents. Great to see how psychologically broken Tommy gets. And that cliffhanger!
Season 6 - major disappointment to end the series on. The first and last episode was pretty good but everything in between was painfully poor. Michael spends the entire season in prison only to get shot in the last episode after an anti-climactic attempt to kill Tommy. Where are the Billy Boys? How does Arthur properly recover from his addiction? We don't need characters like Esme and Alfie to return again. The focus on Tommy is still good though (masterful, symbolic final scene)
Great analysis mate! I don't think season 6 as a whole was disappointing, my biggest complaint would be the Michael plot line as you mentioned: but we can't be too mad as due to the result of Helen Mccrory's passing etc, they salvaged it the best they could.
@@PowerHubShorts Yeah, I think Mccrorys passing is definitely the main reason why aspects of season 6 fell flat. It's very likely she would have had a push pull dynamic with Michael while he was in that cell and would have played a key role in getting Arthur off his addict.
But for what it's worth, the final scene is still fantastic. Tommy is reborn - he started the show on a black horse and departs on a white horse. The wagon burning away with his old life inside it also emphasises this monumental growth which I can't wait to see further explored in the movie.
@@onemoreminute0543 Same man! Here's hoping the movie lives up to all the hype!!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who loved season 5 I think what made me enjoy it so much was Tommy and Mosley’s dynamic it felt like he was an equal to him and I was always trying to figure out either of their motives. The other seasons are great too but I thought the show peaked at 5 imo
Great to hear you enjoyed it as well!
I actually really really liked season 6 my major problem with it is it feels like Arthur doesn’t get much screen time or anything to do that season until the end.
Season 6 gets a tip of the cap from me because even though their plans were shattered they stuck the landing nonetheless. That’s not easy
I loved seasons 5. I can’t help it I love the billy boys scene. I wish they where in season 6 but abarama gold was the only one that really hated them
Their entrance scene is great!
I would rank it slightly different. I agree on season 2 being 1st place, and on season 1 being 4th place, but I switched some stuff up-
1. Season 2
2. Season 3: While Mosley was the only guy to have beaten Tommy, I would argue he wasn't really as intimidating as the priest was, until Tommy beat the priest. Mosley just was worse at always keeping Tommy on his toes, especially since he didn't antagonize Tommy from the 1st moment, unlike the priest.
3. Season 5: Mosley is still a badass monster btw,
4. Season 1
5. Season 4: I didn't really enjoy Luca, but at least I was interested and constantly intrigued with where the vendetta would go, something I might not be able to say about some other season...
6. Season 6: I feel like I didn't really care about this season. Main issue I had was I felt like I needed Tommy to continue against Mosley, and instead he just left. The only one moment I loved was (SPOILERS PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS NEXT LINE YOU HAVE BEEN WORNED THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT YET WATCHED THIS SEASON PLEASE STOP READING THIS BECAUSE THE SPOILER COMES IN 3, 2, 1!) when we learned that Tommy wasn't really ill and that his doctor was lying to him.
Your list is pretty great man, and i agree on your points... I really wish season 6 focused more on Nelson/Mosley etc, but, I still enjoyed it, and felt as if it was a fitting enough ending for the actual tv series! Hope you enjoyed the video
@@PowerHubShorts I did, great vid
I actually liked the Arthur death fake out and his revenge killing Luca

All I know is this. When ever I watch this show it takes me back to a time in my life when I first discovered it where weirdly without knowing it I was mirroring Thomas Shelby attitude before I ever watched the show. I was single and out to make as much money as I could. So when I rewatch it now, it takes me back to that small one room I was living in at the time (like season one) and I sit now in my big house (like later season) married with kids thinking "when did I get here?"
Season 1. was so different, much more humor, smiling and laughter. Had its own feel. 2 was a bit different but great after that once they were living large the whole vibe changed.
Great ranking

1. S5
2. S6
3. S2
4. S3
5. S4
6. S1

My ranking:
Season 6
Season 1
Season 3
Season 5
Season 2
Season 4
Season 4 is perfection imo I wouldn’t change a single thing
Fair enough mate!
This is the one show I can’t rank my favourite seasons in. They all have their strengths and issues. Season 5 and 6 we’re probably just about the most boring for me personally, but both had really strong final episodes which kinda salvaged them
Season 3 was a bit cliche with the Russians. I feel their should’ve been only 1 villain instead of going back and forth between the Russians and priest group. I actually agree about season 4 with you, the Italians being portrayed as very powerful when there only ended up a dozen of them was stupid. It makes no sense the peaky blinders would submit to these guys (12 Italians, most of which had died throughout the season but they seemed to respawn for the final episode) was even more stupid and the Al Capone reveal felt like a copout
I think the writing for the 1st 2 seasons was the best and campbell was the best villain for me just before Mosley. Only thing I didn’t like was the fact the last scene of season 2 where one of campbells men saved tommy who worked for Churchill, didn’t seem realistic and was for dramatic effect. And then the whole Churchill storyline which should’ve been way more major and utilised took a backseat for the rest of the show sadly
So if I HAD to rank based on the fact Season one didn’t have Michael who bored me to death in every scene, I’d go S1, S2, S4, S3, S5, S6
Same man! Every season i've equally enjoyed.... i've noticed that my rankings change so often.
For me, its very easy:
S tier - Seasons 2 and 4
A tier - Season 1 and 5
B tier - Season 3
C (bottom) tier - Season 6
Decent list mate! Can agree on Season 2 being S tier!
Everything they built in the masterpiece off season 5 was destroyed by the hell of 6.
I don't think it was fully destroyed. But it was definitely hindered.
Good analysis! . Mine would be 6-S6 5-S5 4-S3 3-S4 2-S2 1-S1 Season 5 I really liked Mosley, Aberama and Polly, Ada, Arthur and Linds, and Grace coming back. The only thing I hated was Tommy and Lizzie. And it was interesting to see how Tommy had everything, but he was worse off emotionally. The only thing I put it in the 5th place was because of Lizzie lol.
Thank you! Yeah, Tommy and Lizzie were definitely 'something' in season 5 lol. I liked it because it showed that Tommy was literally losing everything, he was facing betrayal from the outside, and possibly the inside (through Lizzie wanting a divorce etc).
@@PowerHubShortsYeah, I liked the part about Tommy and his mind getting worse. But I didn't see how he cared much for Lizzie, since he was cheating on her and would rather take opium and see Grace than be with her. I never interpreted that he was in love with Lizzie in S5 and S6, and you? But apart from that toxic relationship, I loved everything else from S1 to S6, all the stories, characters, villains. I would have loved to see more Michael, Ada, Arthur, Finn in S6.
@@MsRouxe Yeah, agreed. Tommy really only married Lizzie because he had a child with her, whom was conceived when Tommy was thinking about another woman (his pre-war girlfriend). In season 6, Tommy says that he regretted marrying Lizzie, and I think that he truthfully believes that... not only because he doesn't love her the same way as Grace, but also because of the tragedies with Ruby.
@@PowerHubShorts Exactly, I think part of his redemption is realizing the damage he's done to people. Like marrying Lizzie when he doesn't love her and everything he put her through, manipulating Arthur, which is why he goes looking for Linda. And that's why all his past is left behind, and in the movie we're going to see him alone, I don't think he'll come back with Lizzie. Did you like the ending? I really liked seeing Tommy's 'funeral' and that the war finally ended on his head.
@@MsRouxe Yeah I loved the ending tbh, it was as close as we will get to a 'redemption' I reckon; a spiritual death and redemption... especially considering the initial riding on a black horse in season 1 and leaving on a white horse in season 6. My only concern is what they are going to do for the movie, I can see Duke/Isiah etc becoming the proper new leader of the gang; if Tommy wants to leave his criminal life behind... or he could stay in politics and whole-fully try and do good for his country and people in fighting the fascists (we know the movie will take place during WW2).
Aw, season 4 was my favorite
Season 4 is still great! Like I said, it's the worst of an exceptional bunch.... still being wayyy above most other shows out there 😀
completly agree, maybe except season 6, I would put it a little higher
Fair enough mate! Season 6 is still a masterpiece season!
Season 4 is pretty much season 3 of Boardwalk Empire but in Britain...
Is that a good thing or not lol? Never watched it.
@@PowerHubShorts yeah it’s a pretty good show all things considered, especially season 3. :)
Season 1 and 2 are my favea and will always be my top 2. ❤️
The least is season 6
JUSTICE FOR SCUDBOAT
👑👑
First time I've seen someone on the internet who shares my opinions about season 4. The writing was sooo weak. I dont understand why people love it so much. I suspect it has a lot to do with the fact that the mafia is the gold standard of the gangster genre, so it was exciting to see them enter this world
Agreed, I never understood the complete love for it, I still like it, but it is by no means the best season of the show. Agreed, movies like the godfather etc would have been a huge motivator for season 4!
@@PowerHubShortsthe scene where Luca is introduced in Tommys office is probably one of the best scenes of television I have ever seen
As a Romani in America I especially hold Peaky Blinders in high regard. Top 3 show for me
Amazing show!
For me :
1st ---S3 ( POWERFUL villain and more danger)
2nd ---S5 ( more political)
3rd ---S4 ( enjoyable)
4th ---S2 ( drama-Passion-ambition)
5th ---S6
6t ---S1
Agreed on last place. Really didn’t dig the Changretta plot. I really liked parts of it, but overall it felt meh. Well, if Peaky Blinders can be meh at all😂
Agreed man. I love certain parts, scenes and aspects. Even having one of my favourite episodes as I mentioned, but like you said, it was just overall 'meh'. But Peaky Blinders 'meh' is a like the greatest season of another series 😂

4th place - Season 2
3rd place - Season 5
2nd place - Season 3
1st place - Season 4
Peaky blinders season 5 is so fucking amazing! It’s such a better payoff then season 6. They should of made it that they changed the story to end the show there with that cliffhanger. And the dark tone that did so well and fit the tone of the final Peaky power plays. just disappeared with the next season.
Season 5 had an amazing atmosphere!
@@PowerHubShorts
This season gets overshadowed, because season 6 ls, basically the same formula as season 5, but done way worse and haphazardly.
@@andrewcrow5979 I agree that season 5 was better than 6. They did have different sole messages, such as Tommy's "redemption" being the main focal point of season 6, where in season 5 it was his unsure mental state etc. But yeah, like you've said, I personally enjoyed season 5 more.
I really wished that Sabini appeared again as a major antagonist in the 3rd and 4th seasons. He was such a chilling and sadistic opponent.
"Don't say my name.... take my name from his mouth..."

Seasons 5-6 are the best for me:
They were darker, more complex and mature than the other seasons.
Also, Tommy's charecter went to extreme, from a gangster to brutal power monster, until the last episode when he finally found peace.
I totally agree with the point that Luca was over the top stereotypical. Was way too much for my taste. And i kinda think Finns character fell short too in the final season.
Agreed! I liked the actor, he just overdid it wayyyy too much sometimes!

3. season 2 (I liked Campbell and Grace more in season 1)
2. season 1 (great introduction to the characters)
1. season 4 (I just liked the vendetta storyline and up to the end of this season I really loved Michael as a character)
Fair enough!
Season 4 for me is #1
This video inspired me to rewatch the show because I couldn't remember exactly what happened in each season and I wanted to make a personal list too (I rated each season after watching):
1. Season 4 (9/10)
2. Season 1 (8.5/10)
3. Season 3 (8/10)
4. Season 2 (7.5/10)
5. Season 6 (6.5/10)
6. Season 5 (6/10)
Kinda funny that your lowest rank is my highest, guess it's all personal preference
I don't know how season 4 can be bad, it's the best season of them all, Luca is a very threatening villain for Tommy, and all of the episodes are action-packed. How Luca went out was really a bit anti-climactic but that is basically the only weird thing about season 4.
OHHHH! Another one who doesn't like the way Luca went out.
I loved Luca as a character. He's probably one of my favorite in the series. For him to go out like that with a, "OHHHH AL CAPONE WOOO" when he didn't even appear in the series is just a let down.
Yeah, a massive let down and sloppy way to end the season. I personally thought Luca was decent, wish he was just written to be more of an actual threat... along the same vein as Vito Corleone/Michael Corleone would have been amazing!
Season 2 then 4 for me
Ok the last episode could not have been better, if you watched the final episode only it means absolutely nothing but if you watching the show in a perfect order its the best ending in anything ive ever seen inception is almost as good, well mabye as good but it was just so good. I just wish i had pulled a 24 watch session of peaky blinders to get the full experience.
Lol! Agreed the final episode is masterful!
Season 2

Season 5
Season 6
Season 4
Season 3
For me, ranked worst to best it would be:S5,S6,S3,S4,S1,S2.
Decent list man! can agree on the first two spots!
My only real gripe with the show as a whole is that we dont get to see the most hated antagonists die which are the fascists in my opinion. The Priest is the 2nd most heinous and vile antagonist for me after Mosley.
I can see what you mean, but for me, that makes them an even better antagonist! hope you enjyoed the video!
Mosely lived in real life until the 1980s.
The way Luca’s power got lost in the last episode was a little disappointing. From the scariest villian to the weakest in 5 minutes. The way he got betrayed by his men was bad writing, still a top season though
I would just like to say that I did not like Grace whatsoever. I didn’t care for her dying either 🤷🏾♂️
For me:
1: Season 3 (It was a season that felt like medicine after season 2.)
2: Seazon 5
3: Season 6 (I liked it actually)
4: Season 4 or 1
5: Season 4 or 1
6: Season 2 (Unlike most people I really didn't like season 2, a very serious villain in the first season, Campbell had become a sex-addicted lame. Other villian sabini is one of the weakest villian in the series. I also felt like the series had turned from a gang drama to a teen love drama ect.)
I liked season 3 the most. For me it goes 3,2,1,4,5,6
Season 4 is personally my favorite
For me it’s
1
2
5

1 season 2
2 season 3

4 season 5
5 season 4
6 season 6
Great ranking mate!
Season 2
Season 1
Season 4
Season 3
*massive gap*
Snorefest that were seasons 5 and 6
Season 5 best
It is amazing!
@@PowerHubShorts yes like the polls keep making them 👍
@@Lúci-o-ohs Thank you... im sure you will like the next one 😉
S3, S2, S4, S1, S6, S5.
The 2 things i didnt like about the show...were Adrian Brody's Changretta and the Ending (Why not let him die?)
So my least favorite seasons are 4 & 6
s4 was the best season to me lol
Thats great to hear ogzu!
Season 4 as 6th place is obnoxious
Just a personal ranking mate. Personally I felt it was the weakest. What would you ranking be?
@@PowerHubShorts mine would probably be: 613542 (worst to best)
@@mxp4225 Nice!
My list would be
1. Season 4 (It is most engaging to me)
2.season 5(peak of Tommy)
3.season 2
4.season 3( Tommy fighting his emotions and tough villains)
5.season 1(rise of tommy and love plots)
6.season 6
Nah season 4 was definitely the best season
It was definitely a good season, and better than most other shows out there! Hope u enjoyed the video!
You know at first I use to hate the fact that Michael wasn’t the main villain . Like I always tell people that is one of the biggest critic for s6 . Well that and the fact tommy didn’t kill Mosley or jack Nelson . But later on after rewatching the whole series I realized that Micheal doesn’t have what it takes to be a villain except he has some huge plot device which would have made a lot of people dislike the show . Like bro just look at every villain the show has ever had . Like jack Nelson was just introduced in s6 but the character was scary as fuck . Especially that scene with him and billy . The only other person I would have chosen to be a villain was that guy who tried to sell opium to Tommy and Arthur . He was kinda OP I’m not gonna lie . Like I also wanted Mosley and jack to die . But after rewatching s6 , I realized why tommy didn’t kill them . Apart from that s6 is probably my favorite. Nice video tho 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! Yeah, I agree, Michael didn't have what it takes to be a "real" threat, well, at least not how he had been written. Perhaps if we did indeed have the 7 seasons + movie that I mentioned, as well as Polly still being in the show, Michael could have become a decent threat... especially if Polly was almost an adviser to Michael, like Vito was to his son Michael in the Godfather part 1. I don't mind that Mosley didn't die tbh, I think he will get arrested in the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie... in real life Mosley did get exiled from England due to his political party and movements, so I can see this being the way which he is 'defeated'. And for Jack, I can see him dying at the hands of Alfie, or fizzling out/going fully into politics.
Yeah the Chinese guy should have been way more involved
One thing that annoyed me about the show is that every season it seemed that Tommy had a different woman. And only a couple of them were likeable.
I like the first 3 seasons the best because that’s when tommy Shelby was tommy fucking Shelby and they just made him weaker in the rest of the seasons like he didn’t feel the boss high value man he was anymore
for me
1:Ssn 5
2:Ssn2
3:SSn1
4:Ssn6
5:Ssn 3(at first it was the worst but its better the second time you watch it)
6: Ssn 4( started of so well and kept on hyping up luca and how the mafia was in a league of its own but then his own men are bought of)
My best to worst -
1. Season 2
2. Season 1
3. Season 4
4. Season 3
5. Season 5
6. Season 6
Luka Changretta needed to linger till the last season. Season 4 was my best, followed by seasons 2 and 3. Season 6 was boring until the last episode. It was as if they lacked material and were just pulling themselves along to fill the 6 episodes. I think Polly's departure affected the whole thing. It failed like the last season of The Game of Thrones.
I don’t agree with your ranking but I understand it
Thank you!
Am I the only one who feels that Tommy not burning the caravan himself in the finale took away from the impact of the ending. If the caravan represents his past life then the fact that he didn’t burn it himself really lessens the moment.
Can anyone justify the decision to have the other guy do it? Really want to like the ending but that detail really spoils it for me.
I seriously doubt anyone who has seen both breaking bad and peaky blinders would say peaky blinders has the best series ending for a tv show ever lol. Imo peaky blinders had the potential to have the best ever series ending for a tv show, but failed to deliver largely due to lack of closure. But then again, things were derailed with the death of Helen, so can't fault it too much based on circumstances. But breaking bad takes the cake imo
Mine :
S2
S4
S3
S1
S6
S5
Decent list!
@@PowerHubShorts I feel like s4 would be the perfect ending.
10 year anniversary ??
Yep. Peaky came out in 2013
@@PowerHubShorts wow didn't know that ! Didn't know there was like 2 years in between seasons , no wonder Fins actor grows up so much over the seasons !
@@trevorwinn5012 He is a different actor from season 1 to 2 😂... but besides that, yeah, he does grow up quite a lot!
@@PowerHubShorts Ok fine , I'm gonna watch the series for a 3rd time ! Lol
@@trevorwinn5012 Worth it my man! amazing tv series!
I just started season 3.
Episode 1 of three was almost unwatchable for me.
I had to MAKE myself get through it, and I also had a hard time getting through episode 3 of 3.
I'm worried if season 4 is the second to worst. I don't know if I'll be able to get through the series, if 3 is so dismal to me, and 4th is second to last.
I REALLY ENJOYED season 2.
I felt like Tommy should have identified her as a spy sooner. That was disappointing.
But men are easily fooled by pretty girls...
After seeing the whole of season 3, I have dramatically changed my mind about it, and you're right.
It's one of the very best seasons.
Jesus Christ.
Blew my mind mind.
The first one was rough, just because of the death and sentimentality.
It was like when we lost Ruby.
I can't handle death and sentimentality.
That's all.
