'Peaky Blinders': Four times when the Shelbys almost compelled us to hate them

They have murdered innocent people who didn't deserve to die and they have acted in the most selfish ways to get their business straight.

The Shelby family, who are central to the plot of BBC One's 'Peaky Blinders', have time and again proved that no one can be as heartless as them. Coming from creator Steven Knight, the members of the family have not only betrayed their friends, but have mostly betrayed each other. Yet they continue to be together. Starring Cillian Murphy as Thomas (a.k.a Tommy) Shelby, Paul Anderson as Arthur Shelby, Helen McCrory as Polly Gray (a.k.a Aunt Polly), and Joe Cole as the late John Shelby, there have been times when their actions were nearly inhumane. 

As Season 5 is just around the corner, let's look at the top four times, the Shelbys almost compelled us to hate them:
