Do we know how Tommy knew Michael would have a bomb in a trunk waiting for him


Didn't he sent Johnny Dogs over earlier to scout things out & he's the one who switched the bomb/left the mark on the car door to warn him?

Yeah, he sent Johnny early, but after the explosion, he told Tommy that he "switched the tickers in the boots like you told me. Did I do good, Tommy?"

This was a garbage ending to an otherwise solid series.

If I recall, Tommy mentioned the guy had been his doctor for the past 3 years. Perhaps he'd been slipping him some medication that'd create those episodes to convince him he had the ailment?

Finished it last night. Holy smokes that was bad. Such a good show but man that was a very mediocre season with a fantastically bad finale.

I knew that was the final season but after it was over I read up because I was thinking there's no way they could end it that bad, it had to have been renewed for season 7. I guess there is going to be a movie. The guy is about to start writing it so they said 2024/25 Nobody will care by then.

Just finished. I'm with the majority. Season overall was average. Writing dropped significantly.

Trying to keep this spoiler free to an extent.

I don't understand the sudden seizures I did like the twists. I really hated the fact that he let the doctor live. Someone made a funny point about him being camped out on the doctor's property - definitely a film mistake.

Would have liked more Alphie. Arthur seemed like a puss most of the season.

Overall the season ran as if there is much more to come. Yes I see now about a film but that will be several years. We will have forgot everything by then

That is the current problem with most shows. You can’t take years off and expect people to return and be pleased.

Stranger things managed to do it with this season but if it goes for over a year good luck.

I feel like that is one of the major drawbacks to the binge release.

While I thought it dragged some in the middle, it had a fantastic ending. I also appreciated how they handled the Polly stuff, which had to be hard to write around.

The last episode was peak quality Peaky Blinders. Arthur, Jeremiah, and Charlie taking out the IRA folks. Billy and Finn getting exposed. Michael and Tommy’s showdown. I thought it was great, but I also knew a movie was coming for some time as they cast and writers have openly talked about it.

This season? You can't be serious. It was bar far the worst season and the last episode was about as bad as it gets. I can't even imagine a worse ending.

The story went absolutely nowhere. A whole season of Germans that just ends up being nothing. You knew Michael was going to die. Arthur was a bumbling idiot the whole season. His kid dies, his wife leaves him, he sends off his other kid and just doesn't care about any of it. He decides he's going to go off and die on his own so he has a family meal, Arthur doesn't even show up Finn either. He cared more about his random adopted kid than any other family. And the big reveal? He's not sick! What does he do? Go scare the doctor, woo hoo!

I mean I love this show, one of my all time favorites. But I'm not making any excuses for a horrible ending.

I'm absolutely serious. The finale was great. I'm looking forward to the movie that continues the storyline.

Umm, sure it did. Major characters in the family died. Tommy almost dies himself. We also now have Tommy in direct conflict (openly) with Moseley and the mobster from Boston.

quote:

You knew Michael was going to die.


Well, yeah. But they've been laying that storyline down for awhile. This wasn't some new revelation that Michael would try to make a move and pay dearly for it.

quote:

Arthur was a bumbling idiot the whole season.


An opium addict finally hits rock bottom in his addiction? Color me shocked. I don't know why people are shocked by Arthur's decline given how hard he's been living life in the last few seasons.

It was a great reveal. And no, I'm not shocked that Tommy tries to take the high road of making sure his family is financially secure and not wanting any of them watch him suffer a nasty death. That's really very in line with his character.

It's not a horrible ending.

I'm not going to be impressed because something is predictable. Killing Michael was a great scene, I've been waiting for that for a while. But Michael's character this season was pretty irrelevant. Arthur, while predictable, was also boring. An addict hitting rock bottom can be an intriguing story. They just avoided doing anything with it other than making him look stupid. One of the most intriguing characters for five seasons basically becomes an irrelevant background character in the final season and nothing in the final episode. Come on.

You have watched too much TV to think this was a good reveal He is about to kill himself and he has some gypsy dream that tells him he's not sick. That's laughable.

And again, the Mosley's/Nelson/German/Nazi/Hitler/Roosevelt story that was the main focus for the entire season just faded into nothing.

I don't know why. You're melting all the way down over this unnecessarily.

Arthur has been unstable and in decline for awhile. And they actually redeemed him a bit by the IRA scene. Again, not sure why anyone is shocked when he's been drunk and high for majority of the show. That generally doesn't end well for anyone.

We literally end the season with Tommy openly in conflict with them by killing the IRA connection and killing Michael (giving Alfie half of Boston, which is a HUGE issue for our facist friend from Boston). That'll be a huge part of the movie. Nowhere has that "faded".

I just wanted to make sure this part was stressed...

IMO the worst part of this season was the actress who played Michael’s wife


My God. How do you fall so far from how well she did in The Queen's gambit to this botched abortion of a performance? It was tough to watch at times (most of the time). Was she just overacting?

Also, wtf was this soundtrack? Another poster gave it a "so-so". That is being EXTREMELY generous. The fact that it just wasnt good music was amplified by the fact that it seemed like the actively tried to almost make it another character or some shite. It seemed way too stressed.

Every time she was on screen it was soooo annoying. They didn’t really develop her. She was just some snotty kid thinking she was a bad arse but literally did nothing and was irrelevant

Was not interested for most of the season. I did really like the last two episodes, with the exception of the final 10-15 minutes. Would have been better if Tommy died.

The season was just ok but I liked the finale. Tommy is a great character although I still don’t completely get him. Is the end him embracing being a badass morally bankrupt crime boss and just being ok with it? He seemed even more callous and calculated when he found out he was sick.

Side note with spoilers

It’s a bit hard to buy that he was going to kill himself without noticing a major decline in health. I think if I felt the exact same a year after being given a year to live I’d probably schedule another visit just to double check that time frame.

Out of all the endings to the many Netflix Series I have watched, Peaky Blinders had the best ending. You will NEVER figure out on your own how it ends watching it. It was a very clever idea and meshed with the whole inner person Thomas Shelby!
