Steven Knight's version of Great Expectations gets more Peaky Blinders with each episode. This one starts with an orgy scene where Jaggers and a drugged up Pip plan to cheat Drummle.
Joe Gargery is worried about Pip. Only to find himself rebuffed and sneered by Pip. Living in London with wealth and privilege has changed him.
The main part of the fifth episode is revealing important parts of Dickens story. The relationship between Magwitch and Estella. The reason for the enmity between Magwitch and Compeyson.
It is all done with Jaggers recounting events to Pip. I would have thought some creativity could had been used to join the various dots.
Watching the penultimate episode and it just feels like an empty experience.
