I thought it was good! Just not too keen on the storyline they are setting up where Tommy seduces Gina. It’s been done again and again with Tommy and women and at this point I’m finding it boring and redundant.
Is it me or has Ada’s accent changed? Sounded like she was struggling to find it at times.

I said to my boyfriend earlier that Tommy has yet to meet a woman (excluding family/in laws) that he hasn’t slept with.

Not sure who the woman he was in bed with was. I’m fuming at him though, poor Lizzie 😞

Think she was a prostitue because she picked up money he had on the table. It’s true though, every woman seems to fall for his ‘charms’ and it’s getting boring.
Wonder why the IRA saved Mosley. Can’t work out what the end game is because apparently there is going to be a film so that implies loose ends won’t be tied up here? And Mosley didn’t die until the 80s and wasn’t assassinated so unless they want to change history I can’t see them killing him off.
 
I hate that Polly got killed off, especially off screen.

I know they didn’t have much choice, but I wish she had gone to Australia and found peace there. It wouldn’t have been very ‘Polly’ to do, though. Plus killing her off is further fuelling the Tommy v Michael war.

It was a beautiful tribute to Helen McCrory, though. Not an ounce of that scene was acting.

She died during the pandemic during restrictions, so I don’t think any of the cast would have been there to say goodbye, so this was their memorial to her.

I cried, I won’t deny it 🥲

Same you knew not much acting went into that scene! It was very moving 💔

His marriage to Lizzie has always been one of convenience. It’s sad for her but I think she knows it and I’m sure she’s well aware he’s still seeing prostitutes.

I never liked Grace so her still popping up every two minutes annoys me 🙄

I’m the same! I was relieved when she got killed off, now she’s there every five minutes trying to get Tommy to off himself. Weird ghost witch.

I thought by now they’d of calmed down with it. She’s been dead longer than they knew each other at this point. It’s being dragged out unnecessarily imo

I think I’m annoyed how Grace died, that they just killed her off to enhance Tommy’s storyline which is an old trope and an easy way out. I think the way women are written in this show has been quite hit and miss. It’s become a show I love and hate ahaha!

This is exactly how I feel about it too. There were elements of last nights episode that were brilliant but overall I wasn’t blown away. I’ve oddly gone between thinking it was too focused on Tommy rather than the family and also feeling that the scenes without Tommy were meh. Polly’s presence is missed, there wasn’t enough Arthur and Ada and Lizzie on their own are just not cutting it for me.

I find Ada so badly written. She used to be a young principled girl who ran off with the local commie and they had to change that when the actor playing Freddie left. So they moved her down to London were she was still part of the movement etc but the last series she was all materialistic? I think they could have done a really good job at cultivating her a bit more but they just seem to focus on the blokes in the series. Plus I’m not sure what the point was making her have a mixed race baby because in that era it would have been mighty hard no matter how wealthy you were but I can just see her daughter being forgotten about?

I hope they don’t just have Arthur off his head for all this series. I really want him to have a happy ending but I can see them killing him off with an OD in the penultimate episode.

Sophie Rundle is such a brilliant actress too, it’s such a waste. Ada has had pretty much nothing to since series 1 other than the occasional eye roll at Tommy. The mixed raced child out of wedlock storyline felt like it was shoehorned in to show us all how wonderfully right on Tommy is rather than actually being about Ada or the baby.

I get what you mean about Arthur, the character is at his best when he is more than just a mad dog. The problem is that mad dog is what a lot of the fan base want to see and Knight will want to keep them happy. I’m expecting to hear “fook Linda” a lot in the coming episodes.

Exactly - another storyline that was done to make a man look good. Not to improve the material for the actress!
I thought Linda and Arthur worked well as a couple from a storyline point of view. I don’t get the hate for Linda online though, some people in the Peaky Blinders fandom are so embarrassing.
One positive is that the costumes are fabulous! Really loved what Ada was wearing.

It was a prostitute (she dressed and picked up money as she left). In series 5, Lizzie enquired about divorcing Tommy but decided to stay as she "chose this life." They basically had make up sex, Tommy made Lizzie promise that she "belonged" to him which she did, and then she said he couldn't see other women in their house or a day either side of being with the children. He definitely got the better end of the deal. I think he's always had love for Lizzie but has never been in love with her.

Ah yes, I forgot that conversation 🙈

I always wanted him to end up with Mae. She seems level headed, but fun enough to keep him entertained. They’d have made an excellent couple imo
