I would really like a scene including Arthur and alfie solomons and mosley and Thomas talking shit to eachother for 2 hours straight
I may have missed it, but do they ever give a reason for John raising children on his own? Is it implied that she ran out on him? Or maybe died in childbirth?
Anyone think Adrien Brody as Mr. Chagretta was so fiioooonnneee. I mean I love him as an actor in general but Mr. Changretta was just giving mafia daddy lmao
I get that the Shelbys all had severe PTSD from WW1. Tommy shut down, John was reckless, but Arthur... was on another level. I think he WANTED to be a better version of himself, but he went berserk when he got mad.
Does anyone have an idea which episode this shot is taken from? Seems to be quite popular with quote pictures. Trying to find the original high quality image to have an amazing wallpaper...
Anyone know the Song used in the 46 minute? The song in the background when Michael want's to join the Shelby Brothers to the races, but Aunt Polly won't let him.
Thanks in advance,
I wondered, what did you all take from the show ?
Generally, when watching a great show like that, most people change their view on some things. Whether itâs life itself, how it should be lived, life choicesâŠ
I just wondered what yâall got from that show !
Currently watching the show for the first time (no spoilers please) and I can't stand Polly. She just seems all bark and no bite. Tries to act tough and smart when she doesn't really do anything to prove so. Quick to come out with threats and act tough which I think is more for her own insecurities and obsession with proving worth.
I quite liked how Grace at the end of S1 called her out on her being afraid of losing Tommy than Grace being the real problem. If anyone watched Suits she just seems like Donna. Who just thinks she's more important than she is.
In this episode, they discuss sending alcohol to Halifax, referring to it as a place with Prohibition. As a lifelong Canadian, and one who has taken in all I can about American Prohibition, why are they talking about Canada having this? It never happened here to my knowledge. In fact, this is legendarily where the US got their booze from.
This is an in the moment of watchingthe episode post,,,, curious if this gets corrected or post of a story line that they were in error.
Early in the first season Tommy picks a fight with the Lee boys saying something about them being gypsies as if that is something bad, something different from him. Then the Lees become a great ally mainly through the marriage of John to Esme. It kind of threw me off because as the show progresses, the gypsy heritage of the Shelbys becomes so predominate throughout, it seems unthinkable that Tommy could ever disregard his gypsy heritage. Did anyone else have that sense?
Why the hell wouldn't they give him a more humiliating death, why does he get away with a simple bullet in the head shouldnt they have done worse to him and had the opportunity to? Also he was extremely stupid and constantly made decisions that Tommy should have easily countered and gotten him killed way before he had the upper hand. It's annoying when contrivance is the only thing that keeps a villian around especially when the founding ideas before that contrivance makes them a compelling villian otherwise. Almost killing Tommy should've been the nail in the coffin solidifying father Hughes as a betrayer and liar, how stupid could he be making him apologize to the people AFTER beating him within an inch of his life, when he needs them to believe he is genuine. Also had he succumbed to his injuries the priest serious not have gotten what he wanted anyway. It makes the protest look like an actual retard trying to play a who's got a bigger dick contest and he loses but his death doesn't mean anything. Honestly he's the worst Villian in the show not because of his actions within the show but because of the lack of an impact his death has on the overall plot and because of how poorly written his character is in the end. He's just a slightly more dramatic, annoying, belligerent, less intellegent, less compelling Campbell. I don't dislike the character because "that's how you're supposed to feel about him" I dislike the character because he is lazily written and at the end of the day just basically a slightly, but not enough interesting, plot device.
I just started binge watching PB. I just got to the bit where John died. Why couldnât it be Arthur instead. I liked John. its always the characters I likeđȘđȘđȘ

I started watching Peaky to understand the devotion people have for it, and I've come out exhausted. A few takes:

These are the ones I can think of for now, it's been a rollercoaster.

Tommy realized about the doctor once he saw the newspaper clipping. But Mosley invited Tommy there so wouldnât Tommy have realized it if he went to the wedding?
