Peaky Blinders Season 6 Review: A Dignified Emotional Set-Up To The Final Act
Peaky Blinders season 6 may not entirely satisfy the violent gangster warfare of past installments. It does, however, offer compelling closure of the personal demons that torment the Shelby family while setting up their climactic feud with the fascists for the upcoming film. Even before the season began, the Shelbys were rocked with an unprecedented loss: Polly Gray actress Helen McCrory passed away of breast cancer at age 52 in April 2021, just three months after Peaky Blinders season 6’s production resumed following several delays from the COVID-19 pandemic. As one of the greatest fictional gangsters to ever grace television, Peaky Blinders season 6 suffers from the absence of Polly. But the poignant handling of her fate enhances the Shelbys' riveting personal journeys while increasing the stakes of their internal hostilities.
