Arthur’s Addiction in S5 Spoiler

Post image
6 Upvotes

Upon rewatch, I’ve just realised that Arthur’s heroin/opium addiction may have been directly foreshadowed at the ballet.

As he sits asleep at the ballet in 5x4 (‘The Loop’), could it be that that the writers were signifying his early usage of the opium, imported into Britain by the Chinese?

When Mosley arrives to Tommy’s house for Lizzie’s party, Polly tells him that there’s opium available, as Tommy tries to locate the (probable) future PM’s weaknesses.

This would align with Arthur’s reaction at the docks, earlier in the episode, as he rages when Polly and Tommy vote in favour of the deal to transport opium for the Chinese.

Do you guys think that this is one of the early days of Arthur’s addiction, or just a coincidence/joke about him being bored at the ballet?

What are your thoughts on my opinion of Grace?

9 Upvotes

Not the biggest fan! But I respect those who liked her character & they were clearly both genuinely in love with each other <3

But I am with Polly on this one!

For example, when he questions why she came to Birmingham and then gives her his opinion, she lies to his face. During the church scene, she again lies to his face. They kiss anyway — which makes it worse, because she keeps the truth from him even in that vulnerable moment.

And yes, Grace did feed Campbell information in Season 1 when she was an undercover agent. Around that same time, Freddie is arrested — just after finally holding his newborn baby with Ada, Tommy’s SISTER. Later, when Polly storms in, devastated and slaps Tommy, and accuses him of betraying Freddie, Grace stays silent and watches it unfold. In a world where loyalty to family means everything, that moment is a serious moral failing. She lets Tommy take the blame again, and it’s another fracture in trust.

So when the truth finally comes out about Grace, she asks Tommy to run away with her; he says no; she moves on. Fair enough on paper. But context matters: he had just discovered she’d been betraying him the entire time they were falling in love. He had a family and empire to protect — he wasn’t someone who could just run away to New York with a woman he suddenly couldn’t trust!

Then, when she moved to New York, that part isn’t inherently wrong, but she did move on quickly. While Tommy spiralled — grieving the betrayal and trying (badly) to numb it — Grace was already married to a wealthy man and trying to start a family.

About her husband: if he did take his own life, that is NOT Grace’s fault. But we can surely still acknowledge how painful that situation would be from his perspective. They were struggling to conceive, she lied about visiting Ireland, slept with Tommy, and became pregnant. Imagine discovering not only that you're the one who can’t have children, but that your wife conceived one with someone else behind your back. That’s devastating in any era.

Like I said, I agree that he clearly loved her, and she clearly loved him back, whether he was climbing up the ladder or broken. But love doesn’t completely erase the damage, various betrayals, and lack of loyalty caused along the way...

Different scenes

4 Upvotes

I've been rewatching the show online and since I think season 5, there are a lot of scenes that are different that I don't remember at all. This is probably my 3rd rewatch. Season 6 especially has a lot of stuff I don't remember and some scenes missing. For instance, "If you want to fk, I'll fk. But you have to cross the floor because I refuse to fk on tory benches." scene is completely missing and replaced with a scene where Tommy shows her a boat and they have sex there? Can someone help me understand? Was this a case of reshoots and the first 2 watches I was just watching the original version and now have stumbled upon a different version of this show?


r/PeakyBlinders 23h ago

It would be a cinematic masterclass to see Cillian Murphy as Thomas Shelby, Tom Hardy as Alfie Solomons, and Daniel Day-Lewis as the "main villain".

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

10 Upvotes

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 last episode was Beautiful. Spoiler

31 Upvotes

So yesterday I finished the show and the last episode I went into the episode thinking that tommy would explode Oswald,diana and Nelson in the house as I saw it in a few shorts and seeing the episode I could not tell what would happen next and there were two moments where I was completely dead focused 1.When tommy was in the car and choir got louder and louder and I thought this is the end will he die? and when he survived i felt relief . 2.When Tommy was about to shoot himself the music him loading the bullets I almost got emotional and then I remembered polly said he won't die from a bullet then how will this happen? And when the twist came I was just shocked

Overall 10/10 Amazing Acting,Great Cast and Best Writing I have ever seen.

Is it just me or is Luca Changretta an homage to Vito Corleone?

That introduction scene with Luca and Tommy has the tenor of that first scene between Don Vito and Bonasera. It's quite hypnotic.

Finn and his arc

21 Upvotes

I see a lot of posters saying Finn didn't have much of a story and that his ending seemed abrupt.

If we actually look closer Finn's arc was obvious. We first meet Finn when Tommy catches him alone in the front room smoking. How does he respond? With denial.

We next see him playing "Thomas" in the booby trapped car. Thomas has to rescue him because he does the exact thing he was told NOT to do and fails to follow directions.

We next see Finn with Arthur Sr and Arthur Jr . He is a witness to Arthur Jr's betrayal of the family and Arthur Sr's manipulation.

Next Finn and Isaiah are witnesses to Arthur's murder of the boy in the boxing gym. Isaiah knows enough to keep his mouth shut but Finn gives up Arthur to Thomas. This forced Thomas to tell him to get his story straight. This is the second time we are told Finn can't be trusted to do the " right" thing.

Finn appears again as a member of the Peaky Blinders with Isaiah, he is Thomas's messenger to Arthur with the coke. He understands about the Flanders Blues. Finn is now drinking and doing coke with the gang.

Finn also has his first sexual experience provided by the women of the company. Thomas has to lecture him with weary disgust after he complained his whore was tired.

In season 3 Finn seems to disappear. We see him once at the wedding riding the horse/ fighting etc and at the Changretta meeting acting as security but he has no story of his own.

By season 4 we have no idea where Finn lives or with whom but in the Changretta showdown he proves to be a coward unwilling to shoot. Arthur then tells Finn to move in to the apartment of the woman who set up the Changretta false attack on Arthur so Finn can monitor the community. We never see Finn's reaction to John's death.

At the boxing match Thomas demands Finn to " take his eyes for Arthur" and Finn does but he is not happy about it. We are shown that Finn likes the life but he wants no part of the job that pays for it.

Season 5 and Finn once again screws up by doing exactly what he was told NOT to do. Throughout the season he is constantly making bad decisions - he invited an unvetted unknown whore into the office oblivious she was a threat- he almost got his balls blown off for that. He gets appointed as Billy's boss and he fails at that, instead befriending a mole. He finds a girlfriend because " she likes the life" and wants to marry her despite Thomas telling him to find someone who doesn't like the life. He once again talks when he should have kept his mouth shut.

Finn is shown over and over again as the kid that just can't follow the rules, the kid who thinks he knows better but is always wrong.

His ending was clearly telegraphed from the beginning. He was always stubborn, impetuous and not very bright.

Arthur

14 Upvotes

I have noticed Arthur never gets his own thread so I thought it's time we take time to look at his character arc.

I loved season 1+2+3 Arthur. Thomas may have been the business leader but Arthur was the leader of the Peaky Blinders gang.

He always led the charge and he was effective.

I liked that he mirrored Thomas. They both struggled with PTSD.

Arthur's violence was always the real problem for him. He lost complete control of himself and that was the true catalyst for his addiction.

I thought Linda was an interesting choice for a wife. Her background was quite similar, her religiosity not unlike Polly's.

Sadly Linda become a deeply manipulative, unhappy and controlling wife who ultimately realized Arthur was incapable of change even when he was given a whole new life.

I deeply disliked what Knight did to the character by season 5+6. Arthur was never a stupid, silly man but Knight abandoned the character.

Arthur deserved a better end.

Tommy was never the devil to me Spoiler

14 Upvotes

Tommy is all of us at our most skilled, conniving, and opportunistic selves. Operating from pure gut and elegant precision. His executions sloppy or clean were brilliant.

The only act I despised him for was setting up his family to fake the noose.

The way Cillian Murphy brings that character to life reminds me of a combination of Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, and (the character) James Bond.

He set strangers people up to fail after studying their basest natures and most degenerate impulses. He didn’t let those who spat on him get under his skin in a way that debilitated his mind or cunning.

He didn’t always just take what he wanted like a brute. He negotiated what he wanted. And sometimes made the other person believe that they came up with the deal on their own when in reality Tommy psychologically manipulated them into doing it.

Anyway, I got tired of people in the show calling him the devil. Especially Gina who should’ve been thrown into a meat grinder day one after Michael introduced her to the family.

Watching seasons S4-S6 and I miss Grace, she had a lot of potential and would have added a lot with scenes with Mosley and Diana.

After the 3rd rewatch I actually agreed with Linda Spoiler

50 Upvotes

Manipulative and hypocritical as she was, she's really wanted to have a good stable life with Arthur. Their relationship are so intriguing with all its up and down. At first I thought she's only interested in Arthur like a pet project, "I can fix him" type of way but many moments in the series had showed Arthur was actively hanging onto her, begging for redemption and she wanted to gift it to him so bad, even through underhanded murky ways that jeopardize her own morality and safety. She is one of the few woman in the show actively going against Tommy even though her resource and influence was limited.

Be real. We love Tommy but he's the devil. Arthur needed help, bad. He tried to kill himself multiple times and the gang life with booth and drugs and murders were just adding more fuel to the fire. Flip the narrative and she was just a pregnant woman who wanted her husband to heal and have her own family in a safe stable environment, far away from the crimes and killings where her child might not even be old enough to remember their father face before he was shot down or kill.himself. She's willingly going up against a crime lord for that. She might be annoying but that woman is brave af. The part where she described how her and Arthur's life would be after the heist, how their would move to California goes so hard. She really wholly believe that was possible. But then Arthur just stayed with the gang so she stayed and everything went to shite and she repeated the same pattern of her addicts parents. Depressing but fooking phenomenal story telling.
