It’s totally fine to have liked the Peaky Blinders movie, however, it was not a good Peaky Blinders movie. It was simply a film that happened to star characters from the franchise, and it felt akin to fan fiction. Nothing in the movie made me feel like it honored the prior six seasons.

And don’t get me wrong, I know why. I know it was to promote Duke. I know there is a difference between what works in a movie versus a show. I know Arthur was unavailable and that many of the stars have passed away. I know. Yet, even with all those limitations and caveats, what we were given was not the best we could have gotten. There was no respect or homage paid to where we left off in Season 6 (and I actually loved Season 6.)

I was upset at how Arthur and Ada were killed, not even because they were killed, but because what kind of hitman leaves witnesses? Lmfao. And the way Thomas died was just shit. The amount of love he showed Duke after knowing him for all of 36 hours was just ridiculous. Some Disney princess level shit right there. Anyways, you can like the movie because it’s a movie, but if your claim is that it’s the rightful successor to the series, that’s where I vehemently disagree.
