5 Things Fans Are Disappointed About in Peaky Blinders Season 6

Peaky Blinders has finally come to an end after season 6. The series ended with
the most authentic Shelby-style twists that fans are so used to. The majority of
the internet believes that the finale was flawless, from the acting to the
execution. However, others are quick to find out loopholes in the series finale
that don’t quite add up. Here are some of the most conspicuous ones:


JOHNNY AND THE BOMBS

The biggest twist that had fans of the Netflix series on the edge of their seats
is that of Tommy vs Michael. What seemed like a zealous race with one or the
other seeming to emerge victorious at different points in time ended with
Michael’s death. This couldn’t have been possible had Johnny Dogs not removed
the bomb from Tommy’s car.

While it is possible that Tommy was aware of this and asked Johnny to take care
of the same. However, we do not see it in the series. This leaves fans to wonder
exactly how Johnny Dogs knew what to do and when.


WHAT WAS THE POINT OF TOMMY’S FAKE DIAGNOSIS?

Daenerys Targaryen, the most pivotal character of Game of Thrones, met an end
that fans didn’t see coming. It took them by surprise in a way they didn’t quite
like.

Similarly yet quite different, all seasons of Peaky Blinders
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/peaky-blinders/] seemed to be building up to
Tommy Shelby’s death. Add to this all the talk surrounding how he claims he
wouldn’t stop until he meets a man he “cannot defeat”. With the announcement of
a life-threatening disease, fans expected the iconic hero to meet an ending he
deserved. All those who were looking forward to bidding a goodbye as archetypal
as the protagonist of the show himself were disappointed immensely.


UNNECESSARY CHARACTER IN PEAKY BLINDERS SEASON 6, PART 1: HAYDEN STAGG

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-5-things-fans-are-disappointed-about-in-peaky-blinders-season-6/hayden-stagg-peaky-blinders/

The creators added an actor as amazing as Stephen Graham to the last season of
the show. Considering this, fans expected him to have a significant influence on
the plot. All this did was show fans how Tommy has seemingly “changed” in the
most cliché manner. Most of the fans agree that Graham’s acting prowess and the
potential for his character could’ve been put to much better use.


UNNECESSARY CHARACTER IN PEAKY BLINDERS SEASON 6, PART 2: DUKE

All of this again traces back to Tommy Shelby not dying. If the protagonist was
to live through the conflict, then, the “lost son” trope just seems like lazy
writing to thicken the plot.


THE LINE BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL AND REAL WORLD

One of the most important things that drew fans to Peaky Blinders was the
realism in the show. While the Shelby clan comes from gypsies deep-rooted in
spiritualism, we don’t see that affecting the plot a lot with the exception of
Polly. Additionally, even Polly’s “abilities” were not exaggerated quite as much
until the last season. Yet again, this seems like lazy writing to cover up plot
holes or to thicken the plot, unlike what fans saw in the initial seasons of the
show.

While there might be more of these “shortcomings” or explanations than the ones
we’ve mentioned, later on, these are the aspects of Peaky Blinders season 6 that
seem to take away some of the essences of the show.
