20 Best TV Shows Of 2022 (So Far)

17. Peaky Blinders (Season 6)

Peaky Blinder Season 6
BBC

Since its debut in 2013, Peaky Blinders has become one of the most consistent and popular TV dramas of its kind, expertly blending bracing historical fiction with crime-drama roots that can be traced back to such hits as The Sopranos and Breaking Bad.

At once an intimate character study of Shelby family leader Tommy and a sweeping epic of corruption and political intrigue, the latest season has arguably been its best yet, fusing its many identities - gangster epic, thriller, period drama - into one careful tale of family dysfunction, revenge, and self-preservation.

With heartbreaking tragedy and a whole host of exquisite actors (save the late, great Helen McCrory, whose absence is definitely felt) working at their absolute best, Peaky Blinders is set to continue with a future movie, but if Tommy's journey were to end here, it would've been just fine.
