This episode was somehow much slower than the last. I feel like the show is losing its identity, the peaky blinders aren't really a gang anymore, nobody is taking a beating or getting killed. Seeing how Tommy had changed in the first episode was quite intriguing and interesting but it's become a bit of a bore now and I'm not too keen on it.

It was great to see Esme again, I'd been wondering if we'd ever see her again after season four and the last episode had answered my question. The storyline with the gypsy curses in quite cool and creepy but I don't know if it's the right direction for Tommy, especially in the final season. Stephen Graham finally showed up and his scene was strange, but actually really helpful for Arthur, maybe that little pep talk is what he needs to really get back on track.

There was a lot of emphasis on Ada this episode which was nice to see but her storyline is a bit up in the air too, she's definitely filling the hole that was left by Aunt Polly but I still feel like this season is suffering massively by her absence. By far the most shocking takeaway from this episode was Ruby's death, I really thought Tommy would find a way to save her and she'd pull through. I'm excited to see how Tommy will be in these next episodes following this, hopefully we'll get the Tommy we know and love back.

Overall this was once again another slow episode, I'm really hoping these last three episodes will be the save and grace for this season because it desperately needs it. Looking forward to next Sunday.

The ending is just heartbreaking. I'm praying that the show can maintain this quality with the three episodes left to go, I think it will pull through!

People are complaining that this show is "losing it's identity", which is a bit over exaggerated. The show isn't getting worse, it's evolving. It's hard to keep it as it was when the show was first set (1919) because this is 14 years from then. The fights in the streets won't happen anymore, times have changed. I love the direction their taking it, however I am a bit worried as we only have 3 episodes left and there are a lot of unanswered questions. Still though, I am faithful in the directors and the writers that they will pull something amazing off as they always have done in the past.

People thinking this season is boring and the this season has no build are missing the point this was the build up Thomas shelby just lost the most important thing in the world to him at this point his health could still be bad news and if it is he's a man who is dying lost his daughter and has nothing left to care about apart from kill everyone that gets in his way nothing will stop a man who has nothing to lose and a man who has nothing to lose is a dangerous man last 3 episodes will be special.

I don't understand the low ratings for this episode. Yes, the episode was a little slower but some of the dialogue is brilliant. The acting is fantastic as always with Aida being the stand out performance for me. Not sure about the seem with Arthur in Liverpool, this storyline could've been much better. I was shocked by the ending which is undoubtedly going to drive Tommy back to drink and violence.

Started off fairly slow, but it foreshadowed a dark and incredibly sad ending, further sets up Tommy's character and also Arthur's. A top tier episode and probably the best written episode of Peaky Blinders so far.

According to my humble opinion this episode was a "break" for what it is about to follow throughout the next episodes.

It was an independent incident which showed us the dynamic of the "new" Tommy Shelby and his family, the return of Arthur Shelby who will probably be in the position to stand next to his devastated brother and most important it introduced to us what is about to be followed, the ultimate face off between Tommy, Mosley, Gina and Uncle Jack.

The return of Esme was quite well fitted to the story and that's all I have to say about that.

Indeed we have reached the mid season and yet we haven't seen much but I believe after this episode season 6 will rattle the cage. I blindly trust the writers of the script they have never disappointed us.

In conclusion this episode can be described as "a calm before the storm" and objectively speaking we are not talking about a bad episode at all.

Actually deserved 8 but "5:17" soundtrack by Thom Yorke for ending scenes Worth 1 more star at least!

It was one of the worst things has happened for Thommy in whole series😭 and the most worrying thing about series is that we have only 3 episodes left!!!and Actually Nothing happened yet.. i don't know how they wanna finish it but it makes me worried.. The ly should start ending story a s a p.

Season 6 till here: 8/10.

Season 6 it's really different with than.

A new dimension of Tommy and Arthur's characterization Tommy is no longer a superhero without emotion and invincibility.

It was a weaker episode than the first two; slightly confusing - definitely a filler episode. Ada was incredible; her foreshadowing for Tommy & the ending was so sad. You can see in this episode where Tommy is gonna go in these final few episodes. I am hoping it picks up and the last few are good especially with the finale in three weeks time.

This week, after 6 arduous seasons led by dull, monotonous, charmless men, it finally feels as though "Peaky Blinders" has finally figured out how to make the show interesting; have a charismatic, compelling woman run the company.

When the gang from Birmingham is plagued by a testosterone fuelled lad culture which reeks of toxic masculinity, seeing a matriarchal figure challenge the lower member's sense of power - & doing so without violence but with a natural authority (emasculating them with feminine wit)... Suddenly shifts the dynamic within the Shelby corporation until it's hardly recognisable - & it's fascinating to see how Ada's perspective (lensed through the eyes of womanhood) results in an entirely new, progressive style of effective leadership.

This is precisely the kind of direction I'd always hoped Steven Knight would take Aunt Polly's character in (& it's so sad to see how Helen McCrory never had a chance to rule like this, as she would've devoured the role, given the opportunity) but it's better late than never, I suppose. Shame it's taken THIS LONG to make such a dramatic alteration (revivifying the established style the group usually tends to stick to, subverting gender stereotypes rather than reinforcing them) but I'm glad it's done so before the end, even if it is sadly temporary - since Thomas' sister is only presiding as CEO in his stead. I really enjoyed watching her in charge.

The conclustion of the episode is about how the peaky blinders going weak or as i think they are now, first when the shelby sister take charge of things and it is good and nice move and the way she talks and present the company good but not good at all in running the gangster first when she removes the black star she was very soft with choosing the right punishment and what make it worse was how arthur took the action of it and being more soft.

So far this season has felt like filler. I appreciate substantial rewrites took place but there seems to be more effort on cinematography than story. It looks great but it's uninspiring stuff.

I just hope there's more of Stephen Graham and that wasn't it.
