very good episode last night.

I do hope they wrap the Polly isn't fully with it storyline up in the next episode, it feels so out of place especially when they had the meeting and she goes off on one.

The end meeting surprised me with how tense they made a chat be.

nice slow-burner. didn't recognise Aiden Gillen at all!

how could you not notice recognize him all he did was shave his mustache off lol.

He was immediately noticeable for me in the first shot he appeared, still as sly as ever

Luca Changretta is becoming a parody of a mafia boss - but maybe that is in the style of the series -

I was at formby beach when they were filming part of an episode a while back, I was trying to explain to my then gf what its about was she thought it was complete rubbish it is the one tv series i look forward to watching now along with vikings.

Gotta love Tom Hardy

wolfie138 · 8 Dec 2017 at 08:13

i wish they'd do a spin-off series about Solomons, he's just so entertaining.

wolfie138 · 15 Dec 2017 at 07:41

another gem from him, totally cracked up at him explaining his cost breakdown.

Ayahuasca · 15 Dec 2017 at 10:59

I can't think of any other actor who could pull off that character.

I thought I'd enjoy Brody but there's just something off about the accent at times, although I'll admit I'm unsure of what Italians from New York sounded like back in the 20's.

Yeh the meeting and cost breakdown was brilliant "Right, well, you'll have to add another tonne on to your bill for being a ****, mate. All right?"

The look on their faces & testing Luca Changretta's patience to breaking point.

Definitely one of the best dramas BBC produces.

Great acting, scripting and visuals. Has myself and the missus hooked.

A toss up between this and Taboo imo just because Tom Hardy is superb in both.

Finally caught up up and binged this season over the weekend, holy moly is it good, and to have Adrien Brody and Littlefinger in there as well is just epic. I was very sad up to the third episode as I thought Alfie wouldn't be making an appearance, but then he did and my wee heart leapt with joy as I have much man love for him in this show, he is just an amazing and memorable character. Looking forward to the finale, and I wonder how many seasons of this they will make... I hope they don't do a GOT and run it into the ground... one more strong season with a couple of extra episodes would be perfect I think.

An absolutely outstanding finale to the fourth series

jpaul · 20 Dec 2017 at 22:06

They seemed to have abandoned Nick Cave on the finale in preference to a female singer ?
and rather precocious the directing style compared to earlier episodes softened shots /slo-mo

rickjames · 20 Dec 2017 at 22:11

Red Right Hand? They've had cover versions of it for the start of each episode

jpaul · 20 Dec 2017 at 23:16

.. Yes, but during the show too ... it was beginning to sound like Joni Mitchell - but maybe he is in touch with his feminine side ?
