So the penultimate episode for the whole show has finally come, and it's a mixed bag. This episode is a much needed improvement over the last four episodes but it's still quite slow.

Firstly it was about time we saw Finn again and he's now got a woman, strangely they didn't even provide an explanation for his absence, it's not a big problem but still, the writers could have come up with some explanation. This episode also gave us the return of Linda at long last, she's agreed to give Arthur a second chance but she has no desire to be in a relationship with him.

Speaking of Arthur, he was much better in this episode. We finally got to see the Arthur we know and love again, and I hope this continues into the next. I was glad to see the return of Billy again and I'm relieved the writers didn't just forget about him or the fact that he's the mole inside the Peaky Blinders. Seeing him kill that poor guy was very well done and provided some decent character development. That scene in the bathhouse was absolutely intense, especially when Jack showed up and had him by the balls (literally). Jack knows that he's a mole and needs him for a job, about time his plans are coming into place.

We got to see a lot of Duke Shelby too in this episode, it's nice to see Tommy sort of connect to someone and talk about some events from the past, but I can't help but think how pointless this character is and why the writers decided to introduce him so late into the show.

This is where the problem lies, I feel like the writers struggled massively while creating this season and realised there wasn't much content left, which is why they scrapped season seven in favour of a film, and started to introduce a character like Duke. The death of Helen McCrory really affected this season and there isn't a good replacement for her character either, Aberama Gold would have done the job well but they sadly killed him off last season. Another issue is how spread out everyone is from each other, I don't get the feeling they're a family anymore and the overall tone is so off that it's heavily impacting this final season. I really have no idea how they'll do the finale and the film because there really isn't much content left.

Overall a much better episode, hopefully the finale is a good one but I'm not holding my breath.

Ay Mates Welcome back to Real Peaky blinders show ! I heard some people are trash talking this episode , well the review is for them (Kidding , m just Happy we finally got an old school peaky blinders episode; excuse my old Birmingham tongue) Tommy is a man who fell in love with Grace , the first time when he holded her hands and asked for a dance . Tommy is a man who thinks alone but acts with his trusted crew , his family . Now this episodes includes everyone including Polly . So no fighting, hear me lads? Finn showed up , Arthur had some screentime , love the way Thomas convinced Duke by first letting him free , Linda graced the episode . When Mrs. Hitler revealed her purpose & broke Lizzy ; Love the way Thomas poured him self sum whiskey & started his cannon. Tommy ! , should ve never given up on that whisky cause "Rum's for all fun n all , but Whisky's quicker" . And us, we like our Tommy fast . Favorite scene of this entire season!

I guess the 90 minutes special ending is going to be divisible.

Miss Americana finally did something , something not so respecful but still okay i mean if you've given a bad guy acting job in the last season ; its helpless . Oswald Mosley is totally overshadowed but overall a good individual episode for a bad season . This episode didn't use rock music in a cliched way & in the bleak mid water song did hit . Please Make Michael do the smart thing & switch sides so that we can see him fighting alongside Tommy & Arthur like Peaky blinders .

What can i say expect this episode should have been the forth episode , Linda did alot than what Esme did , Duke's entire part should have been in episode 4 . Now that i feel its getting better but there's no more time left... I am going to miss it .

There is one more episode to resolve everything and say goodbye. All we see so far this episode is a man putting his business in order before checking out. No surprising twists, no highly intelligent tricks of Tommy. I just see a man who is extremely patient while "probably" playing others according to his master plan which we will see in finale. Watching a great actor like Cillian Murphy is the only joy that I found this season. Good to know that there is only 55 minutes left to put behind this abomination season and kill it off.

In the second-to-last episode of this series, a lot was thrown at the wall. Some, in fact, most of it has stuck. I feel like this season especially, has had so many plot-lines, yet very slowly has moved. I think Tommy, with how powerful has become, has just become such a character where he could fall so badly. I'm curious if Arthur and Linda can ever reconcile... And I'm happy Finn can get a little more screentime! So... However, the plotlines, they're getting... Well, the reveal that Billy is the informant came too late, at least in my opinion, and.. I just don't understand how everything could've worked out. While I squirmed at the scene where Jack Nelson almost strangled his balls off, I now kinda feel like he deserves it. Anyways, I feel like wrapping up the plotline with all of the villains might be weird, as I feel the only ones who can actually be punished is Nelson. Oh, and Micheal, who I still don't really know how I feel about him as a villain. I feel like this episode wrapped some things up, but I don't know how the finale will tie up all of the loose ends, like Duke. I also found myself not getting as into this episode, but the last scene definitely has some melancholy.

The episode is pretty slow and we learn some new business about Thomas Shelby and how he will do things in the future . We see also his son Erasmus . Erasmus dont like the work of the shelby . Michael will get out of the prison if only he will kill Tomas Shelby. So even the episode was pretty slow and was almost talking and stuff . I found the end make things pretty tense or will be more tense in the future because we know the intentions of Michael and that sound pretty great for the viewer for the final episode . And im waiting for it to see the conclusion of the Peaky Blinders . What will happen ? A war ? Or a more peaceful solution ? Need to see more.

I don't think Oswald has ever liked Lizzy, Tbh middle class people mostly look down at working class people like dirt on their shoe. And that's how she has been treated ever since they met each other. Lizzie knew exactly what she was getting into with him and even further when she decided to marry him. Even considering how epic the show is in its entirety, the shower scene is still one of my absolute favorites. The sound design, the anticipation of who's behind the whistle, the "oh snap" moment and immediate recoil when he brings out the cord, seeing Jack finally get his hands dirty. Everything about the scene is absolute perfection. You see Duke completely in the shadow, while half of Tommy's body is being lit by the sun - symbolising the very conversation they're having about the two sides of Tommy's business, and ultimately himself. He then steps straight into the light, away from Duke n seemingly all the darkness. Masterful.

The scene with Tommy in the tunnels with Thom Yorke's "unmade" sounding in the background and then the bodies in the bathroom is so breathtaking. It represents his PTSD so well and what he feels and has been going through all these years. So so powerfully, artistic and well made. Tommy is a very nuanced character you aren't really supposed to root for him nor are you supposed to hate him, as he said he's very much in the middle. Shaming tommy when he's doing stuff that we've seen before to protect his family or to prevent threats seems unnecessary and stating the obvious but also rooting for him cheering for him as he kills and threatens the weak is also very odd. Be critical of the fiction you consume.
