Peaky Blinders -New BBC series, 1919 Brummie Gangsters

Good first and last episode - pity about the stuff in the middle.

Should have dropped the Mosely storyline after the failed assassination last season and just concentrated on Michael and Arthur looking for revenge for Polly.

The Ruby storyline was okay bu that ending was awful - rather reminicent of Dallas and Bobby waking up in the shower to realise it was all a dream. "lets con Tommy into killing himself and then have the 2 Dr's appear in a wedding photo that is bound to be on every front page going - great plan dear"

After Polly they needed a strong character to back up Tommy - that person was Arthur but instead they reduced him to a bumbling wreck for 90% of the series.

Poor way to end a great show.
Agreed, can only hope the film will reconcile. Duke seems like a decent character to introduce. I think it'd been a better ending with a bit more confrontation with Mosley. Anything tbh, just seemed too flat
