Brassic- Season 7 (review)

Published by Mason Oldridge, 10 November 2025

Vinnie and the gang are back for one last run.

The season picks up immediately following last season’s (literal) cliffhanger. It then jumps forward, with the characters regularly referencing that they nearly died that night. This season also introduces Jim’s granddaughter Ally and her girlfriend Fay, who join the group from a younger rival gang. The first episode sees them do a job for Mrs. Bishop as well as a conflicting job for Mr. Bishop in what is the poorest episode of the new set.

In the second episode, Tommo travels to Düsseldorf to visit Hans, but they, along with unwanted guest Jim, end up in an unfortunate and escalating situation. There is a rare serious moment from Tommo later on where we learn the truth about his historic relationship with Hans’ mother.

Erin’s brother Ronnie returns for the third episode, in which he is blackmailed by a psychotic former classmate at a school reunion. He is later forced to confront his childhood bully where he gives an emotional speech in what is a nice moment from a usually annoying character.

Rat catcher Curtis Plum is back for the fourth episode as he reunites with an old friend to host a rave for a dying man, providing a standard yet enjoyable instalment.

Tommo fulfils Davey’s deranged request of delivering him the dead body of one of his enemies in the fifth episode, something he achieves thanks to Halloween. The highlight is when Jim accidentally takes the corpse, believing it to be a drunken Shirley.

In the final episode, Vinnie is caught in the crossfire when Davey goes on a rampage. As he lies shot, he reminisces about his adventures with his friends and feelings towards Erin, prompting him to sit up. The series feels terribly unresolved as it is never revealed whether it was Davey or Fay who shot him and Vinnie and Erin never get together, which the whole series felt like it was leading up to.

Once again, there is excessive strong language with frequent F bombs and the series must break a record for the most uses of the C word!

There are also less funny moments in this season, with the most comedic scene probably being when Jim admits that he prefers his other daughter to Ally.

Brassic is a very popular and critically acclaimed series with a worthy synopsis but is ultimately not given its deserved conclusion.

6/10
