    God damn.. what a tense and thrilling opener!

    This episode was insanely good for a season opener.. especially when you look at the previous opener! The season 3 finale and this opener.. amazing 2 hours!

    This episode sees the aftermath of the events of season 3, as the familly is devided and still trying to move on from what happened qnd what they went through!

    This felt like a true return to what make this show a treat to watch! I am glad we got rid of the politics and went back to the old fashioned threat from other crime families!

    The episode has a constant tension slowly building until it all just explodes in the last 10min!

    Cillian Murphy was INSANELY good! His scenes near the end gave me chills! He was intemedating and scary!

    Season 4 is off to a really good start and proves the show is still going strong!

    Not a Bad start for Season 4 !

    Pretty Solid episode, entertaining from A to Z, and thats rare enough in Peaky blinders to notice.

    But still so unrealistic on how women act in this show. Never a woman in 1930' Era would have talk like this to a man, i understand it is fan service to please femalr viewers but it make the show unrealistic from that period ! In the 30' Women got no power no leadership and couldnt talk to a man with such arrogance, and you got to respect that when you made a show from the 30'.

    Still I give an 8/10.

    As usual but...

    Love it as usual but it's meant to be Christmas Day in Birmingham yet the episode was obviously filmed in the middle of summer. That's a fail. That's amateur hour stuff. I expect better.

    Seriously?! Where is Cillian Murphy's BAFTA?

    I had watched every episode of this show and thought "wow, Cillian Murphy is brilliant in this show" and then I saw this episode and thought how hasn't he won an award for his performances. This is one of his best episodes of the show

    Amazing TV

    Just started watching this series and have been hooked. It was a slow start for me at season 1 but god this was such a great episode. I mean everything was perfect from start to finish. I even said to myself, wow what an amazing episode. Havent seen such great tv in a long time and this was before i saw the shocking ending to this episode. I have a feeling this show will just get better and better because of the circumstances of the Shelby family. I usually put a review for the whole series after i finish watching it all. This episode pushed it from a 9 to a 10 easily. Just hade to write this before i start episode 2 of season 4.
