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.
