It is the night of the big fight - Bonnie Gold versus Goliath. But as the bell rings and the crowd goes wild, dangers lurk in the shadows for Tommy Shelby and his family. When Changretta plays his final ace, he sets in motion a series of events that will change the Peaky Blinders forever. (BBC)
Reviews (2)
The boxing match was worthy both as a backdrop to the heated finale and in itself. The backstage scenes were of course suitably suspenseful, with all the main characters interacting properly, but the final twist was very simplistic and, while charismatic, felt more for effect than as a sophisticated and elaborate plot progression. Still an excellent episode, but I wouldn't say it’s a good series finale.

I was pretty torn about this episode. The atmosphere, pace, and action were all on point, and devious Alfie Solomons delighted me once again. However, the resolution of the Italian issue felt incredibly unconvincing, and the plot twist was painfully predictable, coming off as rather awkward. But MP Thomas Shelby, O.B.E., certainly gave me a good laugh.
