Mine personally would be probably do you love me by nick cave.

Can someone explain to me what Tommy means by "junks come even to close"? And why does Tommy behave so differently? He acts like a bully in this scene. It's weird to see him like that.

Who is the the biggste victim in the Show and why ?

For the record. Tommy isn't a saint. He's very far from a saint. But I've been thinking about lately how Tommy isn't as bad as most of the other TV or Movie gangster protagonists.

For what ever reason on Social Media, Tommy often gets idolized and people post weird pictures with quotes from him (or quotes not from him). Especially, the hustle culture/sigma culture people. Often as a counter, the Peaky Blinders fan base mentions who they are missing the point by idolizing him. Which is correct. Tommy shouldn't be idolized.

But thinking deep about it, Tommy doesn't seem anywhere near as bad as Tony Soprano, Walter White, Avon Barksdale, Tony Montana, Michael Corleone, Jimmy Tommy & Henry, Michael & Trevor from GTA, etc.

He's bad, but I don't feel like in 6 seasons of the show Tommy was ever a Sociopath or a Narcissist. Especially like Tony Soprano, Walter White and Avon Barksdale, who all are narcsissits and Tony has Sociopathic traits.

I don't get that with Tommy. I feel like Tommy as a he said himself, he is a rare example of what a working class person can be. Due to his status as an Irish Traveller and being from the wrong side of the tracks in Birmingham and his conscription into WWI. He had to do what he could to survive and thrive. To build a better life for himself and the Shelbys.

And I do think Tommy as an MP does in fact have the working classes best interests at heart and I do think he does really want to destroy fascism. I also do think he loved Grace but was just too caught up in work to always show it properly (as for Lizzie, I'm not sure). I also think he really cares for Polly and his Brothers, even if they didn't always see eye to eye on everything.

Tommy's done a ton of bad things over the course of six seasons but I don't think he is evil or a narcissist.

am I the only one that can't stand Polly after season 1?? every time she comes up, I tend to zone out because all she does is nag and complain. I can't be the only one that thinks this, right??

Don’t get me wrong, I truly believe that the season three finale is the best episode in the series but there is one thing that bothers me.

Why do the peaky blinders blow up the train of the plan was to rob the Russians and kill the priest and take Charlie back. When they kill father Hughes and take the boy back, the Russians lose all leverage against Tommy other than arresting his family which happens anyway. Hope my question makes sense.

Edit: thanks to those who have replied, while Tommy did call the abort too late after Charlie was safe why was it part of the plan in the first place? And if the killing of the priest was unsuccessful they would’ve killed Charlie anyway so I just don’t understand why blowing up the train was needed in the plan.

I love the soundtrack of this show, and I have been scouring the web trying to find the name of the song that plays right as Tommy starts smoking opium before bed in S1E1. Please help!

Let’s go, boissss

One of them that I remember is the one in the hotel lobby/restaurant in season 3 where Thomas is going to meet Mr Romanov and the Matrie’D has to explain for payment in advance due to the Romanovs being debtors. Thomas simply cuts the crap and puts down a wad of cash and states he will be coming to the establishment more, for which the Matrie'D recognizes game.

The only nitpick about this exchange is I don't think they give the menu card right at the entrance?

After Tommy's Mum dies and Father isn't there Charlie would've been his father figure and the man who raises him, but he doesn't get as much respect as Tommy gives to Polly. He is really rude and has an ego when talking to his Uncle. I'm not saying he doesn't when speaking to Polly but still. Polly also has a way higher position than Charlie and i feel its unfair that he's just the guy who has no say. Charlie also is almost never in family meetings.

I started watching this show about 3 years ago and i took a year long break after watching the second episode of Season 5.

My main takeaways:

-Tommy had basically accomplished everything by season 5 so it felt bland the first couple episodes

-Michael turning into a untrustworthy person really made my blood boil

-The Mr Moseley plot felt really unnecessary and it was the reason for so many of the main character deaths which was real depressing. Mr.Moselys plot seemed like it was just full of blackmailing and politicial crap

-Bonnies death also felt unnecessary and so sad because Bonnie was just a boxer and he didn't really contribute to the Shelby family besides that one fight so it made no sense, all it did was make Mr Gold pissed off.

-How did alfie survive? (i didn't pay attention for like 2 minutes for one scene but i dont remember them mentioning it)

-Finn really disappointed me

-We need a backstory how Micheal joined the mafia LOL

-JOHNNY DOGS IS THE MOST LOYAL CHARACTER IN THE SHOW!!!!! MVP!

-Im so glad that Tommy didn't pull the trigger at the end... but remembering Arthurs letter, i hope Arthur didn't take his own life thinking Tommy was already dead after a month.

-Finally, WE NEED ANOTHER SEASON or maybe they could extend season 6 for a couple episodes. It was such a open ending. Will he go back and actually change for the good of the family, or will he go off the grid like Alfie. They could use a last season to branch off into a spin off series for his children all grown up or they could move to America.

when watching the series i noticed that Arthur Jr. was very attached to his family and loved them very much, but why then wasn't he interested in his son Billy? i thought he would constantly take care of him, but in fact he simply gave Linda full upbringing

When you look at their downfalls and failures, what does it boil down to?
