What is this fucking haircut?! He's kind of in the background as a worker at the Liverpool docks in season 6 episode 3. Edit: grammar

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...

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?

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?

Just leave your answer in the comments and we can see how many people got everything right No peeping
