#DARK ENVOY GAME SOUNDTRACK MOVIE#
Whether the writers are holding out hope for him in the movie is anyone’s guess, but it doesn’t help the writing here at all. Jack Nelson, for example, is added as a big bad but never really gets much of a resolution. I won’t go into spoilers but certain characters are introduced and never handled effectively. This is something the show has portrayed since all the way back in season 1 but here it feels a little unfocused – which I guess typifies the overall theme of season 6. Unfortunately, it also loses a fair amount of focus on the external conflict to double down on Tommy’s inner demons.
This conflict encapsulates most of this season, which is far more trippy and surreal than any of the previous ones. To complicate matters further, Michael blames Tommy for his mother’s death and sets to work gaining his revenge, dead-set on taking out Thomas once and for all.
Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done as the family wrestle with another tragedy in their midst. With fascists entering the fray, and the twisted, nasty Oswald still on the prowl, Tommy eventually gathers what resources he has left to try and hit back. In fact the final moments of season 5 saw Tommy step out the mist with a gun to his head – and season 6 begins right here. Polly is dead, Arthur has gone off the deep end (again) and Tommy is a broken mess and close to suicide.
#DARK ENVOY GAME SOUNDTRACK SERIES#
Following the tragic loss of Helen McCrory, the actress who plays Polly Shelby, the series goes into a state of mourning as Tommy is taunted by Captain Swing, pointing out that their family has been dealt a horrid blow. Season 6’s story though picks up with the Shelby family utterly broken. With a movie already confirmed and plenty of loose threads leading into that, the final 81 minute chapter of this season essentially feels like an appetizer before the main course of that aforementioned movie to follow. Without getting too much into spoilers, those after a resolution that wraps up absolutely everything here will be disappointed. In fact, if there was ever a series that typifies this imbalance, it’s season 6.
Some would argue that the previous few seasons have moved into more hedonistic, trippy territory, valuing cinematography and visuals over big action set pieces and exciting stand-offs. Peaky Blinders has had quite the bumpy ride over the years.
