The last season left a lot of questions to be answered and for me it wasn't a satisfying finale. I still gave the highest rating since I really admire the early seasons, however once they wrap up the story completely with the upcoming movie that's when I will make the final decision on the score. These two final seasons however although still good for me weren't at the same level as the previous. Of course it goes without mention that all the entire cast does a fantastic job, the set and custom design, the cinematography and the insanely cool slow motion shots all contribute to make this even greater. The grey characters, specially Thomas Shelby drive the entire show, even when he makes highly questionable moral decisions you can still empathize with him, given his past and motivations, the way they balance his morality is for the most part of the show really well done. For the most part the way this sub-plots would come together and get resolved during the season was the best part.Īlthough this is of course a dramatized and fictionalized version of infamous British gangsters, the series is able to remain realistic in a way and there are several moments (including in one of the season's finale, no spoilers) where things clearly didn't go how the protagonist expected, and that gets the audience always on their toes. This show puts the gangster genre on another level, very early on there's a lot that made this an engaging series, first the plot was brilliantly made, the classic approach of having many sub-plots going on all at the same time, and that makes you constantly wonder how exactly will Thomas and his family deal with the most tough and insane situations.
I didn't follow it from the start I caught it around the 4th season, but it was undeniable that I was highly hooked on the plot, characters, set and cinematography from the start. This series gained more popularity as years went by.
