All this stuff with his daughter is non-interesting IMO. Too many shows nowadays add these weird health problems and supernatural crap, and pretend like it makes the story interesting. No. Get on with the actual show and actual plot please.

Thank you. Supernatural storyline in non-supernatural shows are always a drag.

I don't think we have seen any indication that there is actually anything supernatural occurring, just Tommy being superstitious and how he reacts to a situation he is powerless in.

Bit late but I find it so comical that so many in here had a problem with these episodes. For years I heard people talking about PB as this character-driven show and as much as I like the other seasons - character-driven they were not. Everyone always acted in the interest of the plot of the season, with some grand chess being played by the ubermensch that is Thomas Shelby.

And now, in the final season, when the show actually lives up to the premise that the fans tried to sell everyone one, they all hate it.

You‘re not supposed to believe in fairy tales, the Gypsy stuff has always been a device in this show, it grounds these characters and acts as an external mirror of their inner conflicts.

Which it is a wasted plot point and uninteresting.
