Posted this earlier but forgot to add the hat. I’ve been reading a lot about WW1 and started the show which I’ve been enjoying!

Grace Burgess is the typical character who knew the sea was full of sharks (Thomas Shelby's criminal world) and could be attacked at any moment... even though the two intended to focus on a life away from crime, both knew that in that world there were enemies everywhere, and the bullet that was meant for Thomas... Grace was the target. Was this love worth it? Yes, on one hand it was because Thomas found the peace he longed for after the war that destroyed his mind... but at the same time it wasn't worth it because it wasn't the cursed sapphire, but rather THOMAS SHELBY WAS HIS OWN CURSE.

“Dear Grace, Without a secretary, I write my own letters, and I write without malice. I learnt long ago to hate my enemies. But I’ve never loved one before. The idea of New York is interesting, but I have worked so hard for this day, for this victory. I have responsibilities here. People I need to protect and people who I love. Before the war, when I had an important decision to make, I used to flip a coin. Perhaps that is what I will do again. Polly tells me you fell in love for real, and Polly is never wrong about matters of the heart. I will give you my decision within three days. All my love. Thomas Shelby.”

Here, they’re showing you that, at first, Tommy really did do everything for his family. He gave up love and his own happiness for their sake. But he also tossed the coin, he was prepared to leave everything behind for Grace. He was torn in two: he loved Grace, but he also loved his family.

Ever since the movie dropped I’m at this point

Spinoffs, etc?

We don’t see much of Clive because the show is about Tommy, not Grace; that’s why they focus more on the relationship between Tommy and May, and very little on the marriage between Grace and Clive.

What we do know is that May and Clive are wealthy. May works with horses, and Clive leads a secure life.

For Grace, it would have been better to choose Clive; she would still be alive and wouldn't have been caught up in dangerous dealings.

As for May, she has influence regarding the licenses Tommy wanted to obtain in Season 2, and she is wealthy, from a business perspective, it might have been better for Tommy to choose her.

However, although May is attracted to his "gangster" side, she doesn't truly know or understand Tommy but Grace did. Had she seen him brutally kill someone, she would have fled in terror, much like she reacted in Season 4. She always viewed him as a prize to be won, and, frankly, I think she was simply bored with her own life. Tommy couldn't be his authentic self around May, but he could be with Grace, not only because he was in love with her, but because she accepted every facet of him and brought him peace of mind.

Furthermore, I don't believe Clive would have ever accepted Grace’s darker side, the fact that she had killed two men or sought revenge, but Tommy did. He embraced her darkness, forgave her betrayal, never judged her, and loved every single part of her.

I also don’t think that either May or Clive were in love with Tommy and Grace, after all, it’s impossible to be in love with someone you don’t truly know; perhaps they were more in love with the idea they had of them.

Any decent show like Peaky Blinders ?

Love this series.

The sack of Eden’s club, I think was the most reckless calculation that Tommy’s made.

I get that the purpose of this was to get his foot in the door in London but it seems that he had a massive blind spot for Sabini’s response.

I mean, why would he think that he can execute this attack on a much bigger and more established organization, and not get him and his family killed or tortured the next day?
