The fourth season of Peaky Blinders is a crime thriller that is exquisitely shot. The show has always had an eclectic soundtrack but the fourth season goes one step further, delivering a myriad of different genres and songs that work seamlessly with the action on-screen. The show’s attention to detail and aesthetically is what makes it so successful, from the clever use of color to the intriguing use of the song’s main theme, twisted into different genres throughout the 6 episodes.
This season of Peaky Blinders has been nothing short of amazing. The acting is fantastic, the story is well-told, and the aesthetic is top-notch. However, the biggest strength of this show is its deep characterisation and examination of our three lead characters. This fourth season shows off this depth by having a more thorough examination of Arthur, a man walking a tightrope of sanity.
Aunt Polly is a compelling character this year. After staring death in the face, her character comes up against a whole range of different mental and physical obstacles to overcome this year. From trying to keep Michael safe from Changretta’s gang to overcoming her own anxiety and shock after almost dying, her character goes through quite the transformation over the course of six episodes.
With the overarching plot involving Changretta all but resolved, many questions hang over the fate of our characters going forward. The open ending is an interesting choice, one that looks set to take the show in a whole new direction going into its fifth season. If Peaky Blinders can keep up the masterful execution it’s achieved here, we’re in for a real treat. ..
