Okay I must protest that you guys keep on only doing live action movies and tv series would end up you guys being boring except Steven he watches Clone Wars and Bad Batch. There’s more than just live action but you all didn’t know. Even if that’s the case I’ll give you two options, haven’t you done a video of the movie Fury yet or haven’t you reacted to Monarch Legacy of Monsters?
@@lissy2000us yes she had to phone put in for quick easy contact for fast decisions and she tipped of where Freddy was hence why Tom looks so confused and distraught about what’s happened.
Irish historian here, important point the IRA of this series is not the same as in Sons of Anarchy. The IRA was formed from the Irish Volunteers during the War of Independence in 1919. They fought until the end of the war in 1921 and after the peace treaty in 1922 they split into Pro and Anti Treaty factions. The Pro Treaty faction won and formed the Irish Defence Forces, the modern Irish military. The Anti Treaty faction lost and went underground, launching terrorist attacks for several decades, including working with the Nazis during the Second World War. During the Troubles in Northern Ireland from 1969-1998 various splinter groups of the IRA were active, and after the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 most of them disarmed. Some of the groups, known as Dissident Republicans refused peace and continued their violent campaign. The IRA of Sons of Anarchy is meant to be one of these dissident groups, where as the IRA of Peaky Blinders is the Old IRA, the rebels who won Irish independence and eventually became the Irish military.
I feel that Tommy's suprise was genuine when Aunt Polly confronted him. Tommy told them to find Freddy for a truce in the bar. In front of Grace. Then she said she had to make a phone call.
Really glad you still enjoying this series. it only gets better ! every season brings something new and never lets you down. every episode leads you to something else.
two COMPLETELY different characters. strategic thinking is the only thing that is somewhat similar in them I guess...? but even in such a case I'd say tommy is more of a tactician rather than a strategist while ragnar is pure strategist
They are exactly alike. People that don’t think so are just stupid. Both want more and more in life. Both are capable of anything violent but try to keep innocents out of it when can. Both are super smart thinking many moves ahead. Both are top respected and feared leaders. List goes on.
The great thing about this episode is how the showrunners express barbarity that exists in all men no matter what side of the law you’re on. Both men desire power and use their influence to exact the results they want. The scene with Grace and Campbell exemplifies that dichotomy so well because she’s beginning to see a different side of Thomas.
Imo Tommy had a plan to get rid of Kimber ever since “Pick it up pikey” Tommy gives him a death stare but swallows his pride and does it. He’s hard to read but that’s bc the actor is giving off a great performance.
If past is the past, she would have said no, she didn't do that anymore. It's the past. Valid test. Didn't hold her past against her but gave her a chance to prove it.
I just love your haircuts.. And of course the chemistry between you two. Besides that... Welcome to one of the most interesting shows that shows what could/might happened in the post ww1 era.. Me being a history buff find this series to be an interesting tale of what things might have been during these times. Keep in mind that this issome what different from what was going on in the USA in the same time. However your reactions are wonderful and cute, refreshing. I enjoy watching this series again with your eyes. Best regards..
lee family issue with kimber was a way for tommy to join with kimber and know him. But kimber didnt have any resoect for them nor will, cause rhey are gypsies like lees. So, once tommy got his company official, he is planning to unite with their mother's blood (lee's family) and destroy kimber. Jon's personal issue helped that. Tommy is a master strategist and improvises as things pan out😅
incase you want a little education that was a German Stielhandgranate commonly referred to as the stick grenade that particular grenade does not shrapnel when it explodes like typical grenades it kills with concussive and explosive force which depending on who you ask is not a great grenade.
I know you did a community post about only doing modern shows at one point so seeing you guys change your mind and doing Sons of Anarchy and Peaky Blinders back to back has been the best thing ever (since you guys are the best reactors on RU-vid it matters a lot)
The cop had already said he was never gonna give up on finding Freddie regardless of what he said to Thomas. So that was genuine shock when he heard Freddie was taken by the cops
I feel like Tommy purposely picked the fight with the Lees when trading for the horse in order to look legitimate to Kimber in having a common enemy and gain trust. However, as later seasons reveal how important Tommy's Gypsy roots are to him, it makes you think he always planned to make peace with them and overthrow Kimber. Family and kin are above all to Tommy. Why he couldn't have just told the Lee's from the beginning is maybe it would have been harder to control who knew what - this way, Tommy really keeps control as the only one with the master plan (even if that created other risks like the bomb in the car with Finn!). Anyway, great to see you guys enjoying it, and if you find season one instantly enjoyable, you're in for a treat, as there are so many great storylines and characters to come over the whole series. Enjoy!
Love your reactions to Peaky Blinders. For a while now I’ve noticed some complaints and hate in the comments because you’re not reacting the ”right” way or don’t have the ”right” opinion on some characters, and I just don’t understand lol. Reaction channels are here to give their own, genuine reactions on things. Those opinions may not be shared by all viewers and that’s okay, but damn, what would be the fun in reaction channels if everyone just parroted the same thing lol.
100% I prefer that reactors have opinions I disagree and agree with both. If we agree or disagree on literally everything, that's no fun. Balanced is more interesting as more perspectives are shared.
Hey Nikki and Steven I've been watching this channel for quite some time and i recently started watching a good show called American Horror story and i think that you guys would like it.
Many of the Cathedral shots are Coventry Cathedral. That was burned to the ground by a Blitz in WW2. Coventry was a medieval Anglo Saxon town where Lady Godiva was from. Our bombing of Germany in WW2 was not just strategic but vengence for the complete destruction of Coventry and the massive loss of life .
The endless dissing of Tommy is getting really irritating. It seems y'all don't understand his character at all. Tommy is a union leader and would-be socialist revolutionary. He wants to fight for the betterment of the working class in his hometown. He is a passionate political leader fighting for his cause (which I happen to think is a just cause). It's his entire life! But yall want him to abandon all that to go hideaway somewhere because... because what, that would be more convenient for some other people? Yall are treating this guy like the purpose of his life is to be a sidenote in someone else's atory, as opposed to a whole person with his own aspirations and dreams. Wtf.
@@konn6264its mad I’ve seen all of that stuff it truly was basically every house,so many young people lost too! my great grandad somehow managed to make it back but his big brother didn’t sadly,which is actually insane considering my great grandad was at Passchendaele and saw some absolute crazy shit.
I have to say that the editing on your channel is the best I've seen om a reaction channel. You make each episode tell a cohesive story instead of just a bunch of random clips. Well done. I bet you got a pleasant surprise watching the next episode :)
cillian murphy as tom shelby is right there w gandolfini and cranston as tony soprano and walter white for me. the three best acting performances ive ever seen in television. he is incredible
fun fact: Cillian Murphy had smoked over 3000 cigarettes over the course of filming just by the end of season 2. His current count would amount to around 6000 cigarettes on set. However, he has informed reporters that he smokes herbal cigarettes (they don't contain tobacco or nicotine, and hence aren't addictive)
@@hex__x0xno, Cillian Murphy asked the prop company how many cigarettes they used a season and they said 3000 and that's used not smoked, it's from an interview in 2019, he only smokes like 200 on screen in 5 seasons so 3000 just for him would be insanity. Consider how many background characters have cigarettes and that all of those characters usually have a cigarette holder with multiple in.
Tommys line about “on my mothers side we are kin” is referring to the Irish-Romani gypsy heritage that the Shelbys have, a lot of Romani families would have been related somewhere down the line through marriage or blood, so it’s likely that the Shelbys and Lees both being Romani have some sort of connection, known or assumed. The families Romani roots get mentioned quite a lot throughout the show, such as Billy Kimber’s “Pick it up, pikey” Comment during his introduction, pikey being a slur word towards people of traveller backgrounds.
God, I hate Grace. Traitors belong in the ninth circle of Hell. She is one of my least favorite characters in anything I've ever watched. I hate how stupid Tommy is when it comes to her.
Remember when they met Kimber at the Garrison. After he left, Arthur said "You picked a fight with the Lees on purpose." Everything about Kimber and the Lees was planned, except the wedding. Even that he used that as an excuse to make the peace so they could take down Billy.
