Tommy gets into bed with the right-wing forces of Britain and America, whose plans become clear.
This is a solid episode that lays the foundations for a big finish.
There are some decent plot revelations and it is quite character driven with a considerable focus on Tommy and Arthur. A lot of this sixth series has lingered on the mental state of both characters, particularly Tommy, with dialogue exchanges or atmospheric visuals. It is very well done, but the overarching narrative of the first five episodes now feels like a long setup to the show finale.
Again the political themes surrounding right-wing rhetoric couldn't be more apt for the current climate. I also like the character Jack Nelson's comparison of the aristocracy within British class system to the money-driven American dream, which is as relevant today as it ever was.
The music and imagery is melded together heavily as always. It does feel OTT in this episode, but I have always found this to be a matter of personal taste. This is the audio-visual identity of Peaky Blinders and was somewhat clichéd well before this show began. If you like this aspect of the production though, you will enjoy 'The Road To Hell'.
Cillian Murphy carries this episode well, as he has done frequently this final season, but he is supported well by other cast members.
It's a 7.5/10 for me but I round upwards.
