Season 5, Episode 5
6/10
Disappointed so far
20 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Like most I was so looking forward to the beginning of this final season, last seasons edge of seat cliff hangers were exceptional.

So far this season I have been bored, and left wanting more. This episode was no exception, now considering they have just killed off two central characters has made me say WTF. Although Michael Shannon's character was always a bit of a shaky one in comparison to the first season, part of me is glad he is dead, its almost like the writers didn't know what do with his characters and as such made it up as they went a long. Chalky White was a decent character, and I would have liked to have known how he found himself in prison. I know he explains in in some way but the explanation seems incredibly half assed.

We got to see more of Al Capone which is great and great to see a fellow Liverpudian do well in Stephen Graham. Again I would have liked to have seen the first and second episodes of the season show is rise instead of seeing it in a news bulletin.

I hope for more, and as of yet the show has never disappointed, but so far this season it has. I think the show peaked at season 3 and has never found its feet since.
