October 17, 2013 Why it’s #1: The season finale brings every thread to a breathtaking climax. Tommy’s plan to sell the guns to the IRA collides with Inspector Campbell’s obsession with capturing him. The final confrontation in the betting den is Shakespearean in its tension. Grace’s betrayal (or loyalty?) is revealed, and the shooting of Campbell creates a moral ambiguity that defines the rest of the series. The last shot of Tommy, alone, whiskey in hand, with a red right hand—iconic.
