Success in business, loss of motivation, exhaustion, burnout. Shelby not only has new adversaries in the form of the Billy Boys, but also a new battle with himself in a grimmer episode. Slightly different Peaky Blinders so far, but it's good. The writers have captured the natural evolution of the main characters well.

The episode's introduction didn't quite hit the mark for me - the concept felt pretty dumb, and the execution fell flat. But despite that rocky start, I ended up slapping on five stars because everything that followed delivered that classic Peaky Blinders vibe. Overall, I had a blast.
