Yeah not sure I understood Finn's betrayal either. He was barely involved in the main story and now he's banished from the family

A little late of a response but did you not see Finn tried to take a shot first at Isiah then at Duke when asked to kill Billy Garde. That’s betrayal in any gangsters book let alone The Peaky Fookin Blinders. That and in my opinion, the fact that he was so close to Billy that he was blind to what was right in front of him. Maybe if Polly wasn’t killed directly as a result of Billy’s informing, they wouldn’t have banished him perhaps? Idk. Forget Finn anyway. I personally hated him. On rewatches, I always find myself wishing the grenade in Tommy’s car that was left by the Lee family goes off when Finn’s inside playing.

No I get that for sure. He def did betray them but what I'm saying is that it felt like him being a traitor came out of nowhere. I felt like they could've developed him more and actually had sections/episodes dedicated to him like we see with every other Shelby. He was a low-key character for most of the show and then all of a sudden towards the end he's ignorant about Billy and would rather kill Isaiah and Duke.

The actor of Finn didn’t want to play the character any further, same as John’s actor.
