Season 3 explained?

Can someone please explain Season 3 to me like a short, logical story? I've watched it many times, but somehow, I still don't understand it.

Visiting Hayden Stagg | Peaky Blinders

I don't see this scene mentioned often but I find it incredibly powerful. The look on Hayden's face when Tommy asks him if he feels it, wow. Junk doesn't even come close.

First episode season 3

There was a post about people loving the final episodes, but I'm just obsessed with the first episode of the third season. Any one can relate?

“Three of us dug ourselves out..”

Just curious but would that three mean him, Danny Whizzbang and Barney Thomason, or him Arthur and John? Were all the brothers in the same regiment? They had to be right?

Photo of Thomas Shelby from particular scene

Hi Folks

I am looking for a high quality picture of Thomas Shelby from a particular scene, I tried surfing web but unable to find it.

In Season 6 episode 4 'Sapphire' after ruby dies Thomas had invited Uncle Jack, Oswald Mosley, Diana and Laura McKee. After Jack ask McKee to sing rebel IRA song and while she is singing it, Diana looks at the corner of the room where you can see Thomas Shelby standing in the darkness, that particular scene was bloody amazing! The cinematography where you can only see the eyes of Thomas Shelby is just lovely.

Can someone send me that picture of Thomas Shelby where you can only see his eyes?

horses names throughout entire series ?

is anyone able to find / has access to a full comprehensive list of ALL the horses seen / featured throughout the entirety of the filmed series and is able to share it or point me in the right direction of where to find it myself?

something like a character/ cast list , but for the horses?

like, maybe just including the horses "screen name" for the show and their legal name and age as well?

i dunno if horses get imdb pages too :"( if it includes other known films/works also, that would be great!

obviously i've attempted finding this myself, yet having trouble getting much other than "monoghans boy" and "graces secret" showing up in results aha so thought why not ask here

thanks everyone!!!

Should I watch?

I wanna know if this show is worth watching since I just finished the netflix show Warrior and loved it till the end. Peaky Blinders looks like it has same elements as Warrior aside the kungfu stuff but should I watch it if I enjoyed Warrior.

Plot lines that bug you

I won't list them all, but one for me, Tommy pisses off Sabini and is mugged half an episode later in his own neighbourhood, and battered half to death down an alleyway (teeth out).

Later, Tommy robs him of all his pitches at the races, and Sabini walks out sulking hardly ever heard of again. Back to The Garrison for drinks, hooray!

Why did Jeremiah allow his son to be in the peaky blinders?

as far as i remember jeremiah swore that after the war he would not take up arms and would preach, but at the same time he allows his son isaiah to join a gang at an early age, where there is violence and lawlessness

Bugged by Grace's hair

I view it as a big historical error. Women didn't wear their hair down and loose like that except in bed, if then. It would have been up. Outside, would have been in a hat. Every time I see it, I get a little headache.

Peaky Blinders Grace and Thomas… why did they fall in love?

I don't understand why Thomas and Grace fell in love. There wasn't any REAL meaningful conversation or interactions but when she saved him from the cops SHE put on him. I just felt like they could of explored more into them and the love. I don't dislike or like Grace because the show really doesn't give me anything to go on, mind you I'm in Season 2 EP 5 maybe they're going to show more of Grace and her personality. But they made her dull and lifeless. Like with May we got a little background on her Grace we got a touch it didn't dive into it even a little bit. No back story or nothing. I felt like they should have at least dived deeper into her history even a little bit and gave us more meaningful conversations between the two. It was like he was just lusting after her. It didn't show any commonalities. Or at least that's what I was seeing. I feel if you're going to make a strong character like Grace make her just that STRONG, not with just words and the way she talks but build her up. Now I felt like May was good for Tommy, because of the build up and the commonalities they shared. I like Grace for Tommy because the love makes sense, a copper falling for the person they're supposed to take down. I also feel after Grace left they shouldn't of brought her back, it was weird to bring her back, imo. Maybe I'm missing something, maybe it's the time period. I get Tommy is a direct man with few words and the words he does say mean a whole hell of a lot like Grace. I've been seeing also she was killed !!! Like why bring her back to kill her?!?! The show is frustrating to say the least but good in its own right!

Subtle gems in this scene

https://youtube.com/shorts/A-bqzl4zMdE?si=xE-UJfFj-MDjW-Q_

I love how much Alfie detests the Russian aristocrats in this scene. The way he calls the Russian duke “little man,” is so satisfying. And the way Tommy just watches and listens to Alfie give the duke a nose-to-nose dressing down, Tommy casually darting his eyes from one man to the other. Gold! But the best little golden nugget? Watch how Tommy cocks his head slightly and looks back at the duke after Alfie says they hunted his mum through the snow, “whiv dogs.” Tommy: “What you say to that, you filthy, ill-mannered, debt-ridden Russian?”

So many of these little gems in this show.

Who was your FAVORITE enemy for Tommy's?

Who was your favorite in terms of plot and the fight they gave Tommy. Mine is definitely The Changrettas, the plot of everything was amazing, with the plot twist as well. Alfie does have a special place in my heart though, with their friendly rivalry. They clearly respect each other and it seems as though Tommy liked having him around, even with all the trouble he causes.

Do u think they should have focus more on the build up of Tommy?

I feel like season 3 onwards he there he runs the country and it isn’t the same I feel like they should have spent the entire show slowly building him up fleshing out more where he is at the time and that also maybe more eps fleshing everything out a bit more also not skipping time so fast the 1920s was interesting and I feel like we didn’t see enough of it if that’s makes sense or maybe it just rambling

Inspector Campbell was a worthy adversary to Tommy Shelby and the Peaky Blinders.

I wish he could’ve stayed around longer. He came in with a mission and determination that seemed like it was unshakable. He truly did challenge Tommy imo and it was always a great scene when both of them were present. Had he not been so obsessed with the downfall of the Peaky Blinders and if his love for Grace (which was fucking weird, might I add) hadn’t blinded him with revenge he possibly could’ve seen more success in cleaning up Birmingham.

Funny detail

When Michael came up with the proposal for the entire reorganization of Shelby Company Limited, he said that Thomas could continue under the name Mr. Jones. Now later when Thomas betrays Michael, he does this as a concerned citizen under the name Mr. Jones.

maybe obvious, but I thought it was a funny and ironic detail
