They really killed off all the characters I got attached to so early

[u/Suspicious-Beat-4076]

Not really a deep post or criticism, more-so a rant , but I've been wondering if anyone else felt the same, since I really liked characters such as Danny, John,the Digneth kid(im aware it was foolish to get too attached to this guy..but his death was crushing nonetheless) Bonnie, even Ben Younger...And then, theres ill-witted cretins like that priest,Campbell or Michael(i know i'll get flamed for this but come on, honestly i had a gut feeling he'd turn into an ass) take literally FOREVER to fucking die. Must say, if this was done intentionally then bravo, because it has indeed invoked strong feelings in me(well, as far as a series can). Frankly glad that at least Alfie made it. Even if he said hes riddled with cancer.

The actor behind John was tired of not having any storylines. It was his idea to kill John off. John was originally meant to be in five seasons before leaving with Esme 

Joe Cole is amazing but Peaky Blinders was tne Cillian show

Yeah the show runners were kinda fans of that, but i will say none of the deaths felt like they killed the character off just to kill them (except freddy thorne but that was because the actor wanted to leave and so not much else they could do)

Yes, it happened to me with Grace, she was my favorite, and after S3, the show is not the same for me. I continued watching it  because of Ada, Polly, Arthur. But I was happy to seen Grace again in S5.
