By Order Of The Peaky Fucking Blinders (GENERAL CHAT; SPOILERS S1-5)

[VanyaHargreeves]

So I've watched this in one big gulp like an extended binge

Tiny bit obsessed.

So many thoughts

Linda Shelby, absolute PITA, so you married the most unhinged member of a criminal gang and thought you could change him with Jesus, this is not everyone else's fault

Still don't understand why Tommy let them all be arrested at the end of Season 3

Why does no-one care that Esme took all John's kids including presumably the ones that aren't hers?

Why bring back Grace just to fuck her off?

Why have Mosely as an antagonist, he died in France 50 years later so Tommy can't best him?

Why not kill off Finn, rather than the likeable John considering he's useless and a bit wet?

Is Michael's wife the Judas?

Is Tom Hardy the worst actor alive?

Will Aiden Gillen ever locate an accent he can sustain?

Please come join me!

Hopeful bump

I might be a tiny little bit obsessed with peaky blinders.

I thought Tommy had little choice with the family being arrested as father Hughes and his people were in charge of the police, judges, juries and the jails but there were people in Goverment higher than them so he blackmailed the king knowing he'd get his family out of prison as well as getting his OBE

They probably thought that Esme taking the kids and living with the Lee family was okay as they'd be looked after by her and her family and they would be safe. She said to John's body she was taking them away from the peaky blinders life which she didn't like.

Was Micheal's wife Gina the one near the end with her back to us who was having sex with Mosley?

Alfie Solomons is brilliant, i love him but not as much as i love Aunt Polly. She is epic. I might have looked at some of her coats, found similar fabric and made copies to wear i love them so much.

now the long wait till the next series.

The thing about John's children though is the wider importance of being a Shelby and if male a Peaky Blinder

Mosely and Gina definitely had some kind of connection, interesting if she turns out to be a plant. Mosely was imprisoned for the duration of WW2 as was his 2nd wife, her sister informed on them, they were done for treason and no respectable school would admit their sons when the time came so they lived in Europe. It will annoy me if they make Tommy the one to see Mosely imprisoned as not accurate.

Thanks for replying I was thinking nobody would and I was gutted

maybe while the children are small the peakys might think they are safer out of the way and when they get older Finn could go find them and explain who they are bit like Micheal finding out who he was.

I'm not 100% sure Gina is pregnant. Polly knew when both Lizzie and Ada were pregnant and she gave Gina a bit of a look when they were all in the meeting. Polly knows something isn't right.

I can't decide how they are going to get rid of Mosley as he wasn't detained until May 1940 and the writer has already said the final series will end before then.

I liked that Barney got broken out of the asylum before he was shot, he might not have had long on the outside but at least he wasn't locked up in a windowless room for years.

Finn is nothing though, that character really hasn't developed...killing him off would 've had the right emotional impact for the brothers yet not affected show dynamics

Lizzie resigning herself to more whore than wife was quite disappointing as well

I do think Saint Grace would've long left him by this point and that might be more interesting than dealing with a beatified ghost.
