I wanna hear what are your most controversial takes on the show overall?

I genuinely thing arthur is the best character in peaky blinders, i love all the PTSD and feeling he has

Am I the only one who loves the complexity of Arthur’s character? Don’t get me wrong Tommy is great but Arthur is my favourite brother of all

When Sabini attacks tommy at his garage, his intention was to kill tommy but at the last minute campbell and the police saved him.

Do you guys think tommy put two and two together about the Irish business he was doing involved campbell meaning he knew campbell wouldn't let him die? Or did he just get lucky?

Let us hear your theories

Hint : Whiskey

first of all, i just dont like her and second, her scenes r so boring.

I won’t lie— I was a bit peeved that Barry muscled his way onto the Peaky blinders cast. He always seems to play bad boy/villain roles but he comes off as try hard/ unconvincing/ lethargic to me. He’s nowhere near as charming as cillian and I feel like another rising star could have been cast in wtvr role he’s been cast in— especially if it’s Duke. I liked the previous actor that played Duke and wanted to see him grow in the role. What do you all think?

What's the meaning of "Eleventh hour, armistice, piece at last"

Okay so we know Tommy is calculative, manipulative, emotionally stunted, and a plethora of negative things, HOWEVER, what are his genuinely human traits?

What are traits that are actually good and redeemable that Tommy has by the finality of season 6 and overall in his character arch?

We all know Helen McCrory was Narcissa Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, and I was thinking about getting a replica of her wand made and that got me thinking.

If Polly had a wand, would it be the same as Narcissa's or something else entirely? Adding to that what would the Shelby family have for wands based off of their personalities in the show? I would love to know your thoughts for them.

Tommy

Arthur

John

Polly

Ada

Finn

And for the heck of it, throw Freddie, Grace, Campbell, Uncle Charlie, and some of the other cast on.

hey lads, so i am a Thomas shelby sigma.

Don’t get me wrong: I feel like Lizzie is a very good character. But i don’t really like that character though: she seems like she wants to “own” Tommy throughout almost every season, and she wants to ‘boss’ him. Marrying Thomas, she should know he never would let go of Grace and that he doesn’t ‘let people in sometimes’. Feel like she’s some sort of person who thinks she has all to say, but actually doesn’t really have the power to do that

I’m currently watching season 6 and everything it’s so different, the framing, the dialogues, the topics and scenes. I glad I stuck around for this.

which character is the big/main villain in the whole series? and caused a lot of damage?

Personally I think he hated either the priest or Mosley the most.

Can’t wait to see what else is in store for him in the movie! (I still foolishly hope partial redemption is in the cards 🫣)

Here’s the scenario:

A demigod time traveller brings Thomas to 2024 and he’s given 1 year to familiarise himself with and assimilate into the modern age. He is still in politics, his crime enterprise is neutered to just where he can operate without police detectability, and he still retains 100% of his legitimate business. How well would he do in this day and age? Would he be able to survive and/or thrive? Would he find some new moral aptitude or perhaps stay this morally bankrupt gangster? Share your thoughts?

I don't really know why, but I always felt like Michael was weird. Even his initial interraction with Polly was so weird, I mean what was even that. Not only that, but the scene where Polly brings him into her new home with the 'maid' was probably the weirdest scene of the season(and that is saying something).

The show is definitely one of my favorite shows, but I have to say that Michael was never a character that I enjoyed. When Luca tricked the Peaky Blinders and went to Michael instead of trying to kill Arthur, I was actually very happy about it. I thought that even though I don't like the guy(Michael), it would be a very good addition to Luca's repertoire as an antagonist(meaning that he still held some meaning to the main group).

Also we could've skipped the whole 'Michael turned to the other side' thing, which I found really lame. I believe it was a good decision to turn Michael into a 'traitor', but earlier death would've trumped that.

I also believe that most people would think that Michael being a traitor wasn't a good idea, but that is because the idea of someone so close to the Peaky Blinders betraying them is just intolerable, but personally I never considered Michael as one of the main Blinders. He seemed like the silent friend that goes with the flow and tries to act cool around the group just to seem like he is a part of it.

P.S. I don't remember a scene where Michael actually displayed some kind of authority as a Peaky Blinder, like members of the gang showing any respect for him.

Just finished the show, 10/10 absolutely. But I'm a bit confused on s5 when they introduce Mosley. What did he have over Tommy that Tommy was basically under moselys thumb right from start. He seemed like a threat from the beginning and I'm not sure why Tommy would take his arrogant shit. Did I miss a plot point?

I understand Tommy was trying to undermine the fascist cause by playing along but didn't he come up with that plan way later?

Edit: thanks for the replies!
