Every Season of Peaky Blinders Ranked 

I can’t even be mad with Season 6 because it was obvious Polly was gonna be a major component of it (Tommy’s war with Michael would’ve driven her to the brink) and Helen’s passing, I won’t say doomed the season, but unavoidably put a very dark cloud over it.

I think Season 5 is my favorite. It was a welcomed departure from the formula of seasons 1-4 where the antagonist/villain is introduced early on, and then through the course of the season and one (or two) twists, the villain is defeated and Tommy wins. The season 5 finale subverted those expectations and Tommy loses to Mosley, proving that he’s the toughest foe that Tommy has faced yet.

My rankings are: 6. Season 6 (finale best ep of Peaky blinder imo tho, dk I just absolutely love that ep) 5. Season 1 4. Season 2 3. Season 5 2. Season 3 1. Season 4

My favorite Alfie line when he asked about his dog and tommy said "you can have him back" And Alfie says "no, its better that he thinks im dead" Funny shit

Completely agree on season 4, the way Changretta went out was underwhelming

I agree Jesse Eden (Charlie Murphy) deserved more screen time. This is coming from someone who first watched Halo with her playing Mckee, which she killed, but I think the story could've been lifted a little more from Jesse being on screen more. I agree season 2 was by far the best.

My list would be 1. Season 2 2. Season 1 3. Season 3 4. Season 4 5. Season 5 or 6 6. Season 5 or 6 Best series of all time, and I love all of them, but I was just a little more keen with the blinders, before they made to much money.

I hate the 6th season. Not because it was the "end" but because of the horrible ending to the 5 season Michael arch. Dude literally sat in prison all season, but was built up as Tommy's "rival" for 4 seasons.... Also the strange directorial choices that really hurt the suspension of disbelief. The light highlighting Mosley's wife as she first appears was so strange given nothing like that had been done in the show prior. So many ways to subconsciously establish a character as evil, but that was just weirdly obvious. It made the story feel even more thrown togetger, like a big sign saying, "oh hey yea this is the bad guy now"

personally, season 1 was my favourite closely followed by season 2

I dont really understand why season 6 and 5 have such mixed reception, I felt the atmosphere and direction was so dark, sad and lonely, that final scene in an episode of season 5 with the swan ballet was genuinely one of the most powerful scenes in anything ive seen. The musical choices are stellar, 5.17 is a beautiful track, when Arthur and Tommy hug in the finale, there are just so so many powerful moments. I honestly just wish that Michael was a scarier villain that broke the mold with Tommy's domination, and I didnt like what they did with Finn at all (I never realised I was meant to dislike him, I thought he was just being mislead by everyone)

For me it goes 1. Season 2 2. Season 4 3. Season 3 (these 3 seasons are absolutely masterful) 4. Season 6 (personally i loved how intimate it felt) 5. Season 1 6. Season 5 (still good)

Season 6 missed so much. Season 5 basically teed up season 6 for what I was expecting to be the best season ever but completely missed with Aberamas death not being avenged and the billy boys just completely disappearing. Also arguably the most rushed season due to polly’s death. Don’t know why you put season 4 last over 6 when season 6 definitely had more plotholes/rush to it.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who loved season 5 I think what made me enjoy it so much was Tommy and Mosley’s dynamic it felt like he was an equal to him and I was always trying to figure out either of their motives. The other seasons are great too but I thought the show peaked at 5 imo

Season 5 was so good in setting up so many brillant plotlines, that the fall season 6 took hit so much harder. :(

Season 6 was amazimg - not sure why everyone hates it. Definitely not the best season but enjoyed it a lot

My ranking (1st best - 6th worst): 1. Season 2 2. Season 1 3. Season 3 4. Season 4 5. Season 6 6. Season 5

I actually really really liked season 6 my major problem with it is it feels like Arthur doesn’t get much screen time or anything to do that season until the end.

Damn man…. Season 4 is one of my favorites

for me the list would be 1. season 3 2. season 5 3. season 4 4. season 2 5. season 1 6. season 6 season six felt so rushed and incomplete, due to the death of helen mccory. It had so much potential...

I still think season 6 had some brilliantly written Tommy scenes, and his arc was so good. But i agree with what you said.

Season 6 gets a tip of the cap from me because even though their plans were shattered they stuck the landing nonetheless. That’s not easy

Mine is.. 1. Season 1 2. Season 5 3. Season 3 4. Season 2 5. Season 6 6. Season 4

This has to be the best peaky blinders season ranking I have seen on RU-vid.

Omg. I actually laughed so hard at the poll showing Tommy win against God by a sliver. Imo just goes to show how Godly Cillian's performance was. I haven't watched all great pieces of cinema there are, but a fair share and I don't think I've seen better acting than that. May be Travis Fimmel as Ragnar but that's about it.

I loved seasons 5. I can’t help it I love the billy boys scene. I wish they where in season 6 but abarama gold was the only one that really hated them

Mine: 6: Season 6 5: Season 5 4: Season 4 3: Season 3 2: Season 1 1: Season 2

I actually liked the Arthur death fake out and his revenge killing Luca

Season 1 - fantastic first season for a tv show that does a great job of establishing the characters Season 2 - Masterpiece. New characters are great (Alfie!), Campbell is a very threatening antagonist, the character arcs progress. And the final episode is perfect and sets the stage well for season 3. Season 3 - it's... okay. Killing off Grace so soon was a poor move and plot feels all over the place with the Russians and Italians. There's some stuff that really irks me (the hamfisted connection between Michael and the priest, Tommy becoming stupid and losing his son). And the train getting destroyed has no major impact going forwards. Still some good moments from the supporting characters Season 4 - VERY good. Its a thrilling game of cat and mouse between Luca and Tommy, and the death of John sets the mafia up as a formidable force. The stuff with Jessie Eden doesn't really work, but that final scene with Tommy's returning trauma now that his battle is won is amazing. Season 5 - loved it. Constantly trying to gage Michael's motives and Tommy is falling apart, while Arthurs character arc hits its turbulent peak. The Billy Boys and Moseley are such loveably hateful opponents. Great to see how psychologically broken Tommy gets. And that cliffhanger! Season 6 - major disappointment to end the series on. The first and last episode was pretty good but everything in between was painfully poor. Michael spends the entire season in prison only to get shot in the last episode after an anti-climactic attempt to kill Tommy. Where are the Billy Boys? How does Arthur properly recover from his addiction? We don't need characters like Esme and Alfie to return again. The focus on Tommy is still good though (masterful, symbolic final scene)

Just finished this show recently, can firmly put it in my top 5 shows all time. Can’t wait for movie

Aw, season 4 was my favorite

I would rank it slightly different. I agree on season 2 being 1st place, and on season 1 being 4th place, but I switched some stuff up- 1. Season 2 2. Season 3: While Mosley was the only guy to have beaten Tommy, I would argue he wasn't really as intimidating as the priest was, until Tommy beat the priest. Mosley just was worse at always keeping Tommy on his toes, especially since he didn't antagonize Tommy from the 1st moment, unlike the priest. 3. Season 5: Mosley is still a badass monster btw, 4. Season 1 5. Season 4: I didn't really enjoy Luca, but at least I was interested and constantly intrigued with where the vendetta would go, something I might not be able to say about some other season... 6. Season 6: I feel like I didn't really care about this season. Main issue I had was I felt like I needed Tommy to continue against Mosley, and instead he just left. The only one moment I loved was (SPOILERS PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS NEXT LINE YOU HAVE BEEN WORNED THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT YET WATCHED THIS SEASON PLEASE STOP READING THIS BECAUSE THE SPOILER COMES IN 3, 2, 1!) when we learned that Tommy wasn't really ill and that his doctor was lying to him.

For me it’s 1 2 5 3 6 4

Season 4 was amazing cant believe its the lowest

season 4 at last crazy

Respect that list, Season 5 defo underrated. Every season’s so good, makes it very difficult to rank. Personally: 1) Season 1 2) Season 4 3) Season 2 4) Season 3 5) Season 5 6) Season 6

For me: 6th place - Season 6 (season 6 isn't bad but mid) 5th place - Season 1 4th place - Season 2 3rd place - Season 5 2nd place - Season 3 1st place - Season 4

1. Season 2 2. Season 5 3. Season 3 4. Season 1 5. Season 4 6. Season 6

This is the one show I can’t rank my favourite seasons in. They all have their strengths and issues. Season 5 and 6 we’re probably just about the most boring for me personally, but both had really strong final episodes which kinda salvaged them Season 3 was a bit cliche with the Russians. I feel their should’ve been only 1 villain instead of going back and forth between the Russians and priest group. I actually agree about season 4 with you, the Italians being portrayed as very powerful when there only ended up a dozen of them was stupid. It makes no sense the peaky blinders would submit to these guys (12 Italians, most of which had died throughout the season but they seemed to respawn for the final episode) was even more stupid and the Al Capone reveal felt like a copout I think the writing for the 1st 2 seasons was the best and campbell was the best villain for me just before Mosley. Only thing I didn’t like was the fact the last scene of season 2 where one of campbells men saved tommy who worked for Churchill, didn’t seem realistic and was for dramatic effect. And then the whole Churchill storyline which should’ve been way more major and utilised took a backseat for the rest of the show sadly So if I HAD to rank based on the fact Season one didn’t have Michael who bored me to death in every scene, I’d go S1, S2, S4, S3, S5, S6

Season 5, season 2, season 3, season 4, season 1, season 6. I still love season 6

Great ranking Here is mine: 1. S5 2. S6 3. S2 4. S3 5. S4 6. S1 Honestly I think they are all great, it was really tough to put the first one on the lowest

Season 4 for me is #1

My list would be 1. Season 4 (It is most engaging to me) 2.season 5(peak of Tommy) 3.season 2 4.season 3( Tommy fighting his emotions and tough villains) 5.season 1(rise of tommy and love plots) 6.season 6

My ranking: Season 6 Season 1 Season 3 Season 5 Season 2 Season 4 Season 4 is perfection imo I wouldn’t change a single thing

-1 season 5 -2 season 2 -3 season 1 -4 season 4 -5 season 6 -6 season 3

For me : 1st ---S3 ( POWERFUL villain and more danger) 2nd ---S5 ( more political) 3rd ---S4 ( enjoyable) 4th ---S2 ( drama-Passion-ambition) 5th ---S6 6t ---S1

First time I've seen someone on the internet who shares my opinions about season 4. The writing was sooo weak. I dont understand why people love it so much. I suspect it has a lot to do with the fact that the mafia is the gold standard of the gangster genre, so it was exciting to see them enter this world

For me, its very easy: S tier - Seasons 2 and 4 A tier - Season 1 and 5 B tier - Season 3 C (bottom) tier - Season 6

1. Season 2 2. Season 1 3. Season 4 4. Season 5 5. Season 3 6. Season 6 All of them still are amazing

As a Romani in America I especially hold Peaky Blinders in high regard. Top 3 show for me

I really wished that Sabini appeared again as a major antagonist in the 3rd and 4th seasons. He was such a chilling and sadistic opponent. "Don't say my name.... take my name from his mouth..."

Agreed on last place. Really didn’t dig the Changretta plot. I really liked parts of it, but overall it felt meh. Well, if Peaky Blinders can be meh at all😂

All I know is this. When ever I watch this show it takes me back to a time in my life when I first discovered it where weirdly without knowing it I was mirroring Thomas Shelby attitude before I ever watched the show. I was single and out to make as much money as I could. So when I rewatch it now, it takes me back to that small one room I was living in at the time (like season one) and I sit now in my big house (like later season) married with kids thinking "when did I get here?" Season 1. was so different, much more humor, smiling and laughter. Had its own feel. 2 was a bit different but great after that once they were living large the whole vibe changed.

s4 was the best season to me lol

Season 2 then 4 for me

Good analysis! . Mine would be 6-S6 5-S5 4-S3 3-S4 2-S2 1-S1 Season 5 I really liked Mosley, Aberama and Polly, Ada, Arthur and Linds, and Grace coming back. The only thing I hated was Tommy and Lizzie. And it was interesting to see how Tommy had everything, but he was worse off emotionally. The only thing I put it in the 5th place was because of Lizzie lol.

Season 5 best

Good Video! I had 1st and 2nd place switched up!

My list probably goes 1. Season 1 2. Season 4 3. Season 2 4. Season 3 5. Season 5 6. Season 6

This is literally my list haha👏🏼

completly agree, maybe except season 6, I would put it a little higher

Peaky blinders season 5 is so fucking amazing! It’s such a better payoff then season 6. They should of made it that they changed the story to end the show there with that cliffhanger. And the dark tone that did so well and fit the tone of the final Peaky power plays. just disappeared with the next season.

I liked season 3 the most. For me it goes 3,2,1,4,5,6

Season 4 is personally my favorite

The 2 things i didnt like about the show...were Adrian Brody's Changretta and the Ending (Why not let him die?) So my least favorite seasons are 4 & 6

I would just like to say that I did not like Grace whatsoever. I didn’t care for her dying either 🤷🏾‍♂️

I totally agree with the point that Luca was over the top stereotypical. Was way too much for my taste. And i kinda think Finns character fell short too in the final season.

Season 1 and 2 are my favea and will always be my top 2. ❤️ The least is season 6

Season 4 is pretty much season 3 of Boardwalk Empire but in Britain...

For me it’s: 6. season 6 (felt rushed and Michael was totally underwhelming) 5. season 3 (I didn’t like the Russians plot) 4. season 5 (it’s ok but the ending wasn’t satisfying) 3. season 2 (I liked Campbell and Grace more in season 1) 2. season 1 (great introduction to the characters) 1. season 4 (I just liked the vendetta storyline and up to the end of this season I really loved Michael as a character)

Bro had my top 2 seasons as his last 2 💀

My ranking: 1. S4 2. S3 3. S2 4. S1 5. S5 6. S6

1 season 2 2 season 3 3 season 1 4 season 5 5 season 4 6 season 6

Season 2 Season 1 Season 5 Season 6 Season 4 Season 3

Mine: 6. Season 6 5. Season 1 4. Season 3 3. Season 2 2. Season 4 1. Season 5

Luka Changretta needed to linger till the last season. Season 4 was my best, followed by seasons 2 and 3. Season 6 was boring until the last episode. It was as if they lacked material and were just pulling themselves along to fill the 6 episodes. I think Polly's departure affected the whole thing. It failed like the last season of The Game of Thrones.

6. Season 6 5. Season 1 4. Season 4 3. Season 2 2. Season 3 1. Season 5

For me: 1: Season 3 (It was a season that felt like medicine after season 2.) 2: Seazon 5 3: Season 6 (I liked it actually) 4: Season 4 or 1 5: Season 4 or 1 6: Season 2 (Unlike most people I really didn't like season 2, a very serious villain in the first season, Campbell had become a sex-addicted lame. Other villian sabini is one of the weakest villian in the series. I also felt like the series had turned from a gang drama to a teen love drama ect.)

This video inspired me to rewatch the show because I couldn't remember exactly what happened in each season and I wanted to make a personal list too (I rated each season after watching): 1. Season 4 (9/10) 2. Season 1 (8.5/10) 3. Season 3 (8/10) 4. Season 2 (7.5/10) 5. Season 6 (6.5/10) 6. Season 5 (6/10) Kinda funny that your lowest rank is my highest, guess it's all personal preference

JUSTICE FOR SCUDBOAT

OHHHH! Another one who doesn't like the way Luca went out. I loved Luca as a character. He's probably one of my favorite in the series. For him to go out like that with a, "OHHHH AL CAPONE WOOO" when he didn't even appear in the series is just a let down.

The way Luca’s power got lost in the last episode was a little disappointing. From the scariest villian to the weakest in 5 minutes. The way he got betrayed by his men was bad writing, still a top season though

Nah season 4 was definitely the best season

You know at first I use to hate the fact that Michael wasn’t the main villain . Like I always tell people that is one of the biggest critic for s6 . Well that and the fact tommy didn’t kill Mosley or jack Nelson . But later on after rewatching the whole series I realized that Micheal doesn’t have what it takes to be a villain except he has some huge plot device which would have made a lot of people dislike the show . Like bro just look at every villain the show has ever had . Like jack Nelson was just introduced in s6 but the character was scary as fuck . Especially that scene with him and billy . The only other person I would have chosen to be a villain was that guy who tried to sell opium to Tommy and Arthur . He was kinda OP I’m not gonna lie . Like I also wanted Mosley and jack to die . But after rewatching s6 , I realized why tommy didn’t kill them . Apart from that s6 is probably my favorite. Nice video tho 🔥🔥🔥

I like the first 3 seasons the best because that’s when tommy Shelby was tommy fucking Shelby and they just made him weaker in the rest of the seasons like he didn’t feel the boss high value man he was anymore

I just started season 3. Episode 1 of three was almost unwatchable for me. I had to MAKE myself get through it, and I also had a hard time getting through episode 3 of 3. I'm worried if season 4 is the second to worst. I don't know if I'll be able to get through the series, if 3 is so dismal to me, and 4th is second to last. I REALLY ENJOYED season 2. I felt like Tommy should have identified her as a spy sooner. That was disappointing. But men are easily fooled by pretty girls...

They are all fucking amazing so i dont even wamt to make my list exept season 1 was a little mid and season 4 had nothing exept for luca and his vendetta well also i actually thought they killed arthur that was probably the onlt time or one of the time when i almost cried when he "died" i was angry sad confused shocked it was insane.

S3, S2, S4, S1, S6, S5.

Everything they built in the masterpiece off season 5 was destroyed by the hell of 6.

Ok the last episode could not have been better, if you watched the final episode only it means absolutely nothing but if you watching the show in a perfect order its the best ending in anything ive ever seen inception is almost as good, well mabye as good but it was just so good. I just wish i had pulled a 24 watch session of peaky blinders to get the full experience.

For me, ranked worst to best it would be:S5,S6,S3,S4,S1,S2.

Mine : S2 S4 S3 S1 S6 S5

My only real gripe with the show as a whole is that we dont get to see the most hated antagonists die which are the fascists in my opinion. The Priest is the 2nd most heinous and vile antagonist for me after Mosley.

Agreed with most of what you pointed out, my biggest disagreement comes with Father Hughes. To me he was the most boring villain of the show, minus Jack Nelson who tbf barely had any screen time, and is my biggest complaint with S3. He's just evil, and idk but that's just boring because it makes him one dimensional. Especially considering every other villain had at least one redeeming or likable characteristic. Even Mosley had charisma and wit and showed weaknesses. Father Hughes was just powerful cuz a secret society - who we never even got an explanation for - decided he was. Again, Mosley's power comes from his political power and connections and he represents an imminent because we what lead the world to the events of 1939.

Season 4 as 6th place is obnoxious

IMO from best to worst: S2, S1, S3, S5, S4, S6. The show falls off for me after S3 tbh. S4 was fun and had great moments, but also had some moments where my immersion was ruined like when Gold kills Luca's driver, but then runs back into the woods to shoot Luca from far way because it looks cool if Luca thinks his driver is still alive or idk what reason he had for doing that. Also, some stuff makes no sense me. It's established that Tommy is basically as rich as God owning hundreds of houses in back to back streets (i don't remember the number, but I remember scratching my head thinking this guy basically owns a City? wtf) YET Luca and 15 thugs are a threat to him? Sorry but that made no sense to me. Also Al Capone was just name dropped for the sake of saying his name, because again, did Tommy really need Capone to buy off Luca's hitmen at the end? Idk. Has great moments like I mentioned, but also has some lows. S5 was good and should've been the end of the show imo. Tommy is absolutely miserable in life. Grace brought love and happinesses into Tommy's life, and that's why the writers decided to kill her, so both of those things died for Tommy when Grace died. No other woman could replace her. No whore, not May, not Tatiana, not Jessie, and not Lizzie. Tommy would never fall in love again and his hallucinations of Grace represent his subconscious telling him what he truly wants at this point is to die. He has no real objectives since the money and power bring no fulfillment. His work puts his family in danger and pushes them away, and relaxing drives him crazy since it forces him to deal with his PTSD and his deep depression since Grace's death. Overall a super depressing season, but well put together and again it should've been the end of the show - I say this because to me S6 was a mess that I refuse to watch again because it always leaves me with such a sour taste.

My list is(worst to best) 1 or 6 1 or 6 3 5 4 2

I seriously doubt anyone who has seen both breaking bad and peaky blinders would say peaky blinders has the best series ending for a tv show ever lol. Imo peaky blinders had the potential to have the best ever series ending for a tv show, but failed to deliver largely due to lack of closure. But then again, things were derailed with the death of Helen, so can't fault it too much based on circumstances. But breaking bad takes the cake imo

I don’t agree with your ranking but I understand it

S2 S4 S1 S6 S5 S3

Just casually spoil godfather 3
