The Peaky Blinders movie The Immortal Man finally dropped on Netflix March 20, 2026, wrapping up Tommy Shelby’s epic 13-year saga amid the chaos of WWII — but the explosive ending has divided fans like never before, with hordes slamming it as a “weak,” rushed, and downright disappointing close that fails to honor the gritty legacy fans fell in love with.

Cillian Murphy delivers a haunting, broken performance as Tommy, pulled from exile to save his son Duke (Barry Keoghan) from a Nazi counterfeit scheme threatening Britain itself. The film nails the dark atmosphere, stylish shots, emotional family betrayals, and that signature Peaky intensity — yet the finale’s big twist (Tommy asking Duke to end his life, followed by a somber burning pyre) leaves massive threads dangling: unresolved family fates, questionable character turns, and a quiet, tragic death that feels more like an epilogue than the blaze-of-glory send-off many craved.

Die-hard fans are raging online — Reddit threads call it “another Game of Thrones disaster,” accusing it of character assassination and ruining the franchise ahead of the teased sequel series starring Duke/Barry Keoghan. Comparisons fly: “Weak film, weak ending, and it’ll tank the spin-offs,” one viral post fumes, while others despair that Tommy’s demise contradicts earlier lore (Polly’s old line about no bullet killing him) and wastes the buildup.

But not everyone’s hating — plenty hail it as a masterpiece and bold, fitting goodbye. Supporters praise the raw emotion, Murphy’s tear-jerking portrayal of a man finally reckoning with his demons, the full-circle manuscript titled The Immortal Man, and the gut-punch realism of an antihero who can’t escape mortality. Tears flow in droves: “Heartbreaking but perfect after 13 years,” fans post, defending the bittersweet tone as true to Peaky’s dark soul.

Social media is absolute chaos — X/Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook explode with memes, breakdowns, rewatches, and endless debates over whether it ruined Tommy’s myth or gave him the poetic, immortal end he deserved. With spinoffs looming and Barry Keoghan stepping up, the divide only deepens: masterpiece tragedy or franchise killer? One thing’s for sure — The Immortal Man isn’t fading quietly; it’s got Peaky Blinders fans arguing, crying, and obsessing harder than ever. By order of the divided Shelby faithful… what side are you on?
