Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man is an excellent finale that refuses to play it safe

At the beginning of The Immortal Man, it’s been about seven years since the end of season six. Tommy Shelby is a broken man, existing in a strange in-between state and literally tormented by the memories of those he’s lost. He’s changed – as he tells Ada (Sophie Rundle) – and seems content to let his son, Duke (Barry Keoghan), take over as the head of the Peaky Blinders, even if Duke causes trouble.
