Season 6 (2022) (S06)
The farewell to this British gem was, fortunately, successful. While it slightly falls short compared to the best seasons, it still stands out as a creation that leaves most of the competition far behind. It’s great that season six directly follows season five, so if you’ve forgotten, it’s worth revisiting the previous season. I liked that the creators focused on multiple storylines simultaneously. Of course, the central figure is still Tommy Shelby, played excellently by Cillian Murphy, but other characters also get their due. Whether it’s the slimy Moseley portrayed flawlessly by Sam Claflin or the new character, Bostonian Jack Nelson, season six offers an incredible amount of action, emotion, and stunning audiovisual imagery (the work with the camera is truly remarkable for a TV series). The result is very close to perfect; it just stumbles occasionally (for example, the third and fifth episodes, which I consider story padding). At least the final episode paid the best tribute to this saga. Such a perfect epilogue is what all series would wish for. We’ll see what the promised film brings when it eventually hits our screens. Expectations are, in a word, high. For me, it’s 8.5/10.
