Ah a fellow Hackney boy.
Peaky Blinders has been shit this season though - far worse than current season of Top Boy which is the weakest of the 4.
The ending of season 4 ruined what was a decent but not brilliant season.
Think the show is terrible l, personally. I mean, for a young-ish black guy from Hackney myself, it’s always been a show that I feel obligated to watch ‘for the culture’ so to speak, loads of the locations in it are around my area, people are familiar etc. But as a TV snob with what I consider a very high quality TV diet, it’s not an objectively good show to me. Littered with terrible acting and dialogue in the main. If I took away the familiar connection and just compared it objectively to a show like say, Peaky Blinders - another British crime/gang drama - it is a billion miles away.
That’s my take anyway.
I've only seen 3 seasons and I really enjoyed all. I think there are only 3 so far so you should be good to carry on to completion without a quality decline.Ok I'm midway through Season 1. Great stuff so far. When does the show start to get shit?

I'm not a huge fan of either really, both are very much style over substance I think.Think the show is terrible l, personally.

Yeah I don’t think there’s much in it. Both are quite fun on the surface but lack any real depth.I'm not a huge fan of either really, both are very much style over substance I think.
Just finished it now....
Can anybody remind me why Sully had been with Jamie, leading to that ending?
I should have looked this up a few episodes ago but I can't remember exactly what happened now.
Jamie and Sully/Dushane were at war in the first season. Sully also correctly suspected Jamie was gonna take the Spanish contact for himself, so didn't trust him. The killing seemed out of place by that point though, straight after Dushane had told Sully his plans, so possibly more to it that we find out next season. I suspect the whole point of it was the cliffhanger of why.
I agree with you.Just finished this season. Overall really enjoyed it but did think it was a notch down on previous seasons and the various storylines became a bit messy/silly at times.
On Sully’s motives for killing Jamie, as well as the history I also think the cafe/balcony seems implied he wanted Jamie to say no to killing Kit out of loyalty to his friend rather than the business. Kit and Jamie were brothers like Dushane and Sully used to be, so Jamie ultimately turning on Kit and Dushane seemingly only caring about the money seemed to spark fresh resentment in Sully and re-open their rift
I agree with you.
I think it was telling that before sully walked away from the balcony the camera switched inside and out of earshot for a few seconds. I think Sully may have killed Jamie with the agreement of Dushane
Bit rudeVee, on the other hand was annoying and pretty pointless
The Scouse actor was amazing. Phenomenal acting, and my buttcheeks clenched up every time he spoke. He carried a sense of dread and terror with him, and the tension was palpable in every scene he was in.

Even more impressive is that the actor isn’t actually scouse.The Scouse actor was amazing. Phenomenal acting, and my buttcheeks clenched up every time he spoke. He carried a sense of dread and terror with him, and the tension was palpable in every scene he was in.

Wow - my mind is blown.Even more impressive is that the actor isn’t actually scouse.
Really? That automatically makes it one of the most impressive accents delivered by an actor if that’s the case. Wow.Even more impressive is that the actor isn’t actually scouse.
I had to have a quick Google at the start to make sure it wasn’t Bellew.Ya he was excellent. Reminded me of tony Bellew

Ah ok, I hadn’t suspected that and instead saw it as Sully stepping away from Dushane again. I think part of Sully was hoping Jamie would refuse to kill Kit, and that’s why when Dushane said he’d done and “proved he was loyal” Sully replied with “yeah, to you” (as well as Sully knowing Jamie isn’t loyal to him anyway ). I think Sully saw Jamie/Kit’s friendship as similar to his own with Dushane, so Jamie doing what was best for him at the expense of his friend, and Dushane not really caring about Jamie’s past with Sully, set him off again was how I read it. After Dushane’s retirement fund comment I’d be surprised if he’d then decided he wanted Jamie killed
