    What an episode from a brilliant series. The production values, acting, direction script and music have set a very very high standard for future television drama.
    The scenes between
    Murphy (plus his grenade) and Hardy was just pure and utter drama of the highest quality. The Cinematic framing of the shot when Murphy and Neill were in the bar after the race had started. Wonderful and atmospheric.

    I remember a very different type of series, from the early 1980's called 'The Boys from the Black Stuff' changing the landscape of British TV.
    I do believe/hope we will see 'Peaky Blinders' do the same.

    I think Murphy makes it, I find his character intriguing, some much depth to it.

    I think Polly's son is going to be good going forward, you can see Tommy knows he's an asset, he has the intelligence drive and ambition needed to rise high in the organisation. I can see him becoming Tommy's righthand man in time. Especially considering Arthur and the rest of the muscle aren't particularly suited to leadership. :P

    Well to be honest I don't trust him. Something not quite right.

    Great episode to cap off a great season!

    But did it reveal if the horse won?

    My point is Tommy found him when he was only 17,he was 18 by series end. I severely doubt the kid will betray his mother and new found family at such a young age.Even at that i doubt Sam Neil character corrupted him before Tommy ever found him.

    If anything for the next season i can see Michael becoming Tommys second in command as John will eventually leave as its being hinted twice in the current series that he isn't as cut out for the business as Tommy would be.The same could be said for Arthur but his mental state is very questionable after this season.

    fantastic ending to a excellent series. Murphy is sensational in this and i hope he gets his rewards for his brilliant portrayal of Tommy Shelby. Also
    Sad to see Sam Neil leave the show even though he was playing deplorable character. i found his character to be a fascinating bastard and he was fantastic in the role.

    I think he's very much following the Michael Corleone path: the man who wants to make the family "legit" but who will slowly realise that the nature of their rise makes such a move impossible.

    Firstly sorry for the late reply.

    You could be right, but remember the writers have 17 years of the unknown to work with.
    One or two things don't add up. He can certainly look after himself, for such a young lad, as seen at that brawl in the bar.
    Also when he was in prison. Was he beat up? Nothing shown by the director.

    Well,we will see. Bloody great TV anyway.

    If they have him shot at the end of every season and recovering then it'll be a bit much.

    He's dead this time. Polly made sure of it.

    BBC Two has ordered a third series of the Steven Knight-created crime saga Peaky Blinders, and as with Seasons 1 and 2, Netflix now is confirmed to be on board again. The streaming service will air Season 3 in the U.S. after BBC Two transmits

    are you certain??

    i've got a feeling he'll reappear ...maybe in the very final episode and get his revenge on the Shelby's once and for all

    I'm a few weeks behind but it has fantastic soundtrack, PJ Harvey had an input too along with the ever present Nick Cave.

    The scene with Sam Neils character meeting the UVF ending with the verse to The Red Right Hand was one of the best in terms of apt lyrics .

    Found it a bit on the nose myself - maybe would have been fine if a once-off, but not when it's been the main theme every episode too...

    Well it is the main theme song to the series overall. But the particular lyric that was sung at that point was placed perfectly.

    Late comer to the thread as I only finished series 2 last night, but am still buzzing after it!

    I loved the setup of so many shots:
    the symmetry of Shelby and Campbell as they were left standing at opposite ends of the empty bar. The strange beauty of Polly as she left with the red blood stain against her white dress. Thomas staring up into the sky as he prepared to meet his maker. All fantastic moments.

    The drama was intense, and everything is set up for a fantastic third series. Surely Michael is going to become a serious contender for right-hand man, but unlike others here, I think John will put up a serious fight. He has waited patiently till now, but he won't see a younger family member overtake him.

    I am really disappointed that Grace is back. She is the weakest actor in it, and while the intensity of their attraction carried her through in season one, I really feel her few scenes in the last episode were extremely weak. In short, I am rooting for the other woman!!

    Lastly, I love Cillian Murphy. He is an exceptionally good actor and I cannot wait for season three.

    Cheers, I watched the last episode, was very good, the copper is some scumbag....

    I had a problem with the fight scene with kimber though.....i mean putting a baby at risk like that....as if a man like kimber would give a damn about a baby.....also once kimber started shooting all hell would break loose, why would they just let him get a shot off and not fire back....also surely kimber would have finished tommy off instead of turning around to his men....
