Peaky Blinders Fans Spot Incredible Nod To First Episode In Series Finale

Watch the clip below:

Viewers first met Tommy riding a black horse through the muddy streets of Birmingham in 1919. In a very clear reference to the first episode, which aired in September 2013, fans bid adieu to the gangster and his cropped 'do as he rides away on a white horse.

Fans have shared their reactions to the reference in the finale and what it could mean.

"#PeakyBlinders tommy entering riding a black horse at the beginning and leaving riding a white horse at the end oh i cant breathe," one fan said on Twitter.

One viewer shared pictures from the first episode and the series finale and wrote: "It all ended as it started, but now tommy is on a white horse... #PeakyBlinders".

"From on a black horse to a white horse. What a journey! #PeakyBlinders," another fan declared.

While someone else gave their hot take on what the horse references could mean for Tommy's character. "Started on a black horse foreshadowing tommy in season 1 finished on a white horse foreshadowing the new tommy shelby #PeakyBlinders".

And another excited fan praised series creator Steven Knight, writing: "BACK WHERE IT ALL BEGAN ON A HORSE STEVEN KNIGHT I F***ING LOVE YOU THE ENDING WAS PERFECTION #PeakyBlinders."

Fans showered the final scene with praise on social media, with one Twitter user writing: "Tommy riding off on a white horse was the most perfect ending #PeakyBlinders."

While someone else helmed the last episode "an end of an era" and said: "He rode in on a black horse leaves on a white horse, the finale was nothing more [than] a masterpiece acting brilliant, twist was perfect."
