Plots(1)
December 1925. Tommy Shelby OBE (Cillian Murphy) has acquired unprecedented legitimacy. The former gangster is also a man alone, estranged from his family and focused only on business. But when he receives a mysterious letter on Christmas Eve, Tommy realises that the Shelbys are in danger of annihilation. As the enemy closes in, Tommy flees his country house and returns to the only safe place he knows: Small Heath, Birmingham, the slum where he grew up. Facing a more determined and sophisticated threat than ever before, the Shelby family must find a way to put differences aside, work together, take up arms and fight for survival... (BBC)

A fractious family, one excellent scene in the kitchen and of course Adrien Brody as Luca Changretta arriving on the scene in a perfectly flamboyant, typically Italian posh style. And with a good accent. It is clear from the start that this will be a more than capable adversary.

Now, this is how you kick off a season! Unlike the dreadful start of the third season, this one hit all the right notes. Industrial magnate Tommy Shelby was in top form, and even the subdued Arthur kept me thoroughly entertained. Adding Luca Changretta and his Italian comrades into the mix was a great touch. Overall, a satisfying start.
