This Is Why Thomas Shelby THROWS Finn Shelby Out Of The Family! 

To me Finn was looking to belong and he chose his friend over his family. It was a stupid move and in that moment he should have known he was being tested. It's not Tommy fault Finn pulled the trigger on the wrong person.

I was really surprised to see how Duke almost immediately integrated into Shelbys, even though he could've blamed his father for abandoning him, trying to seek revenge. And how he instantly became loyal to his new family, more loyal than Finn, who was literally born there and lived his whole life near own brothers. Strange world it is

I love how Tommy's son completely mirrors his personality and demeanor / ruthlessness.

Sadly, Finn was the youngest of the siblings and was tossed into a world of crime and power that he didn't help grow from the very beginning. He always seemed quite disconnected from his siblings and the stuff they were doing. He grew up with a mentality that prioritized close relationships (such as the one with Billy) instead of standing by his family no matter what. In the end, he didn't realize the world in which he existed and paid the price for his ignorance.

they didn’t tell Finn that Billy was the reason that Polly died. I think that would have changed his actions. But he became friends with Billy for 4 years and didn’t know why he was being told by a new guy Duke to kill his friend. He should have known when Isiah was fine with it though.

Perfect ending in my eyes, the only thing that hurt me was no “Red Right Hand” 😭

Finn, you're my little brother and I love you. But don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again. Never.

Tommy really can’t be killed. This man outsmarted so many people it’s unbelievable

Now that you explain everything, I don't feel like a movie will be enough, another season is what needed.

You broke my heart Finndo. Never go against the family.

The main difference between The Shelby brothers and their baby brother Finn was that they survived the world war ,went through hell and fought harder and nastier because they all agreed they had died on the battlefield and each moment after that was borrowed time, Finn on the other hand never had that and by the time he was inducted into the gang a lot of the fighting to get the peaky blinders where they were was done by the older brothers. Finn basically lived like a trust fund kid who didn't really do the dirty work for the money the Shelby's had and was more loyal to his wants and desires that he believed he deserved to enjoy than the older brothers. Finn tried to save his friend who had betrayed the family and got his brothers nearly killed and by that action betrayed them over and over again so Tommy saw him as a loose cannon and security risk but couldn't kill his little brother so instead stripped him of everything he thought he was. Duke being brought in near the end was basically a full circle for Tommy at the beginning he was a drug addicted gypsy with PTSD with next to nothing in a rundown house running a betting racket and by bringing duke into the fold he gave the gang that same purpose and drive that drove Tommy in the beginning of basically having to prove himself to the bigger people before Tommy walked away with the same nothing he started with.

The people defended Finn need to go back look at the seasons! So many test that he failed. He didn’t even want to take the eyes of the people that “supposedly” killed Arthur at the boxing fight. Also he took that bullets AGAINST DIRECT ORDERS FROM TOMMY. He deserved what he got.. duke made more of a presence in two episodes than that little spoil shit edit: also, finn didn’t shoot the Italian he thought was a gangster from New York. He even admitted it to the family. Arthur even told him to shut up when they were voting for truce or war, he was never a real Peaky.. he was just lucky to be birthed with the last name.

Hardy and Murphy are brilliant in their scenes together. Both actors, alone, are top notch but together they're like Spencer Tracy and Tyrone Power. One gives the other extra punch.

Imagine your nephew kicking you out of the family. What a shame 💀

Finn betraying them was out of no where for me

When season 6 came out, I watched the first 5 episodes that first day…. And now many many months later on Sunday April 2nd 2033 at 1:21am I just finished the final episode. My stomach is in knots, this show was apart of my life for so long. Can’t believe it is over. Thank you Peaky Blinders

Nah.... Tommy and Arthur might have known this for 4 years. Tommy could legit just carpet searched through all the phone calls in and out of his corporation to find out the rat immediately. Similar fashion on how he found out Micky is the informant. And most of the time, the informant sold the information to the highest bidder. So Tommy been having eyes on Billy for a long time. Tommy has been very careful for the past four years and not really use Finn/Billy duo on his dealings. One example is Isiah is promoted and in charge of betting shop.

My take on what we whispered to Duke was along the lines of “I want you to be the worst” since he’ll be taking up the underground part of Toms business and he needs to be fierce. Contrary to what he needs his younger son to be “the best” for the family. The two sides of Tom were divided into his sons.

I loved every freaking moment of this show. I hope they stick to how they projected in the show in the movie. It'll be the best!!

Man I really loved this season. The writing is amazing.

i thought this would be an in depth analysis on why finn should be banished

Great job on this content!

Personally I did not think Finn's 'betrayal' warranted him being ostracised from the Shelby family. Bearing in mind how Polly revealed the plan to have father Hughes killed during her confession, which resulted in Tommy almost getting killed, and Arthur being under Linda's thumb for much throughout the series, are instances not too far removed from Finn's behaviour.

I hope Tommy won't choose to leave family. After all they went through together, it would be so unfair toward them to let them think he is dead. Especially Arthur, I feel like he will take it the worst. I hope Tommy will come back to the family and take revenge on his enemies.

Tommy grabed his jewelry before confronting the doctor, his watch chain is visible in the scene. Enjoyed the video!

The lad who played Finn's acting skills just never developed. He was punching way above his weight amongst that cast, and the older he got, the more obvious it became. Small wonder then, that the plot of the final season seriously sidelined his character.

It pissed me off how Tommy's son Duke kicked Finn out of the family after only been in the family 2 minutes.

Really bummed out this shows over!

Kinda unfair to Finn . Everyone in the family was against him . Finn wanted to be a part of the dark part more than once and Tommy and Arthur always kept him away from it , an exemple being when he went with Abarama Gold and Isah in the start of season 5 and they didnt want him dealing with that sides of the business . Then he is ordered to kill a friend of 4 years without knowing details .

I somehow feel they wanted people to think Finn is outside the family, for later purposes. But that only works if they don't know that he is responsible for the deaths of Polly, Abrahama and the sharp shooter.

I think a lot of the last 2 seasons were a bit forced. Tommy never wanted that life for Finn early on so it doesn't feel right that he was disowned for not wanting to kill his friend. Especially when Tommy showed mercy to the doctor at the end..like somewhat similar. I also think the Michael vs Tommy beef was forced too. I really thought that when the bomb exploded Tommy was going to walk in the bar sit next him and let it be revealed that Michael had known what Gina was doing and set up everything, and it was his plan to give Tommy America. He was too smart and loyal early on. He was in jail almost the whole last season and then for as smart as he was his plan was to tell the guy he threatened to come unguarded and trust him? If they had just done that and saved Michael in a way that finally proved his intelligence and undoubted loyalty, they wouldn't have needed to bring in a random missing kid, and it could have been Michael Vs Finn in the movie

The dude who played jack Nelson was hilarious

If finn wasn't blinded by his friends he would of seen that set up coming at the end of season 5

it was sad seeing finn from a little kid to how he ended

i am SO happy this video exists bc i had no clue why this happened

I know this is pretty late however I think the reason finn was kicked out is the same reason tommy said that duke will handle the dark side and charlie will be the light. I think finn was unable to be part of the dark side (shady) business of the family and tommy wanted him to become a normal citizen (be part of the light side). Also, I think it doesn't matter if finn knew that billy was the informant, if he was ordered to do something, he should have just obeyed. Just follow the orders of the peaky blinders and family should always come first in this type of situation (being a shelby himself)

Peaky blinders had the guy from sleaford mods Jason in it .I missed that one , I hope the film focuses on the war years .

Finally a worthy successor... Duke Shelby

This was for sure top 3 best series of all time! Me personally think it's number 2 behind breaking bad! Then sopranos

Thanks for the clarification because I was really upset about finn being canceled 😒

We need another season!

I figured Tommy found out about billy half way through the season when he was asking strange questions over his pay grade....tommy and Charlie looked at him and at each other like wtf

Season felt a little rushed. However, Billy is the only Irish man with a group of Brits. I think it was pretty obvious who would've tipped off the IRA of all people about what was happening.

Ty for the spoiler from the reccomended bruh. Aint watching this show now

I want a side show about Alfie i think that would be cool

Just watched all the season last night 😅insane show

Like wise man once said, "don't ever take side with anyone against family".

Im glad tommy and arthur are in the upcoming film i didnt really understand the ending felt it was lacking closure

Finn never had the same mentality as his brothers. I think it mainly stems from the age gap. He didn’t experience the same horrors they all experienced together in France and for most of his life he’s lived in a world where he didn’t have to work for or worry about anything because the rest of the family had already got everything set up by the time he would’ve actually been capable of contributing something to the process. He’s basically lived off daddy’s money all his life but in this case it was his brothers and like most older brothers they enjoy regularly knocking him down a few pegs and slagging him off 😄 Billy on the other hand treats Finn like the boss while also like he’s his friend.

I love Alfie, but I kind of don't want him to be in the movie unless he's still in Boston.

Finn was the baby boy til literally last season when he got shot and was killing people becoming a REAL Shelby. This seemed a little outa nowhere. If he was slowly not doing things that the family needed I’d believe it more but he seemed fully Shelby committed, this was clearly a forced direction to turn Finn into some type of Shelby villain since they ran out of villains.

Thanks, this video made me understand why Finn was exiled. But still the way they did it felt flat. I would've preferred Tommy personally sending Finn off, which would have felt much more impactful than this new guy JUST BOSSING AROUND

Toretto is proud

This guy’s voice is like 📈📉📈📉📈📉📈📉

Still doesn’t sit right with me, at the very least they should’ve given this story arc a little bit more time to develop. For example, Finn gets cast out of the family, and we see no reaction from Tommy, no mention of it from Tommy, nothing. His own brother, and they didn’t even care to show a scene with Tommy’s reaction. The reason I emphasize ‘brother’, is because brotherhood is one of the constant themes of the whole show.

not defending Finn hes a little prat, but in the eyes of tommy it might be a way to keep at least one of the 4 brothers alive, johns gone,Tommy and Arthur are dead men walking, so it would make sense to kick finn "the baby" of the family

this last season had way too much fantasy and was too focused on cinematography and music shots. Took much away of the realism and there was not that much dialogue

Tommy Shelby has the best haircut that matches his expressions

I hate the fact that they wasted a brilliant character like Michael Grey. Such a let down.

What was off about this whole scene was that it was Duke who did it. It still doesn't play out right. Seems at the very least either Tommy or Arthur would have done it.

Now I need to know if Mosley and Diana had somehow infected Ruby. Her TB came out of nowhere.

One thing i dont like was the way the duke was introduce, like theres no point, and also he was a truly peaky blinder since day 2 and has all power like nosense

Imagine never watching this series and then watching this video lol

I still don’t know what was the porpouse of Finn on the series

Finn wasn’t in the war and he was the baby. They knew he was not cut out for the gang and should have let him do something else. I realized at the end that I think tommy writes down the meeting notes word for word from every meeting and Is able to go back and study what people said

i didnt think tommy was sick, not because i could foresee the doctor ploy, but he didnt have more seizures like the doctor mentioned as the final episodes went on so i thought something was off. and i hope lizzie gets a happy ending tbh.

I think it started when michael asked finn to be part of the new generation.

Tommy's mother gave him a white horse when he was a child. The white horse is a symbol of beginning s.

Season four did not end with a cover of bob dylans “Ballard of a thin man” it was “a hard rains gonnna fall”

Yuhhh

“The only thing that can kill Thomas Shelby, is Thomas Shelby himself” That’s so cold. Duke is definitely his son, Charlie will probably come back as a cop to fight against his father, ada is likely a huge part of her political party in the movie. Mosley was a loser in real life so I don’t expect much of him In the movie. This is all just comments. But a question isn’t the movie supposed to be based during world war 2? We might end up with all the younger gen peakys just coming back from the war and Birmingham bombed halfway to hell

I feel like there was way too much missing in the show. They should have gone for more episodes. Shit like this stuff with Finn just come out of nowhere. Also why is Duke suddenly so loyal? Why does Finn hold his friend over his family? There was so much missing in the show

Finn will be the antagonist in the film

Hey, brazilian fan here, in the portuguese dub tommy whispers "i want you to be my eyes and my mind here, please take care of your brother"

Duke is such a great addition to the show

Right at the end of this video you bring up a point I hadn't considered, when Arthur, Charlie and Curly find the wagon, Tommy will be dead even to the family. So many possibilities.

I think they chose this so they can have someone for Duke to battle in the movie I don't think the story informed it sadly it was not that organic

Peaky Blinders during WWII? Yes please.

Man we need a Season 7

They actually didn't tell Finn that Billy was a traitor, they just told him to shoot him

With this new film I see finn being what Micheal was to Tommy but to Duke

In Finn's denfense....So i never really gave finn a second thought but this scene and what they did to his character really pissed me off. Everyone is so quick to say they hate him and he betrayed them but he actually didnt mean too he had no idea billy was an informant.. No one told him which was stupid.. Then he told to kill his best friend by some random bastard of Tommy's he's only known a few weeks who didn't even want to be a shelby in the first place and was trying to leave because he couldnt handle how billy killed that ref🥴so quickly ppl forget that. Plus they were being shady about the whole thing duke and isaiah were making ME think they were gonna kill finn just because. So i can only imagine what finn thought. But lets be honest here if it had been arthur or tommy directly giving the order and they told him that he killed polly ( you know the woman who help raise him) lets not pretend he wouldnt have shot billy right between the eyes... Come in now Plus everyone saying finn isnt a real shelby are dumb!😅 like he literally is blood he's a shelby.. Whether you like him or not. Also if were gonna say finn is a weak link which yeah he is no doubt there.. But whose fault is that? Whose fault is it that he's not a trained killer or in touch with his gypsy roots? Oh right his family's!!! So soon ppl forget he was an actual child when this all started.. He was cared for by polly, his sister and his brothers..they were responsible for teaching him everything and they just didn't. Like finn said " im the brother you never got around to" he was correct they didnt. They even went as far as to ban him from participating in any blinders sport, they coddled and spoiled him..then they get mad when they suddenly ask him to participate in sport? Nah thats foul asf.. You cant coddle and shelter him and then when it suits you be like "dance monkey" and expect good results. Tommy even fueled his arrogance and lack of hard work by handing him positions of power without starting from the bottom like they did. Show perfectly in his line " finn your a general" he gave him power with no muscle or experience to back it up.. His family didn't teach him the ropes properly and that's NOT finns fault! Besides lets not act like kicking Finn out of the family was reasonable because lets look at the past here.. Who was one of the first ppl to betray Thomas? Oh right the woman who would go on to be his first WIFE!! Also let us not forget his second wife Lizzie was responsible for that whole changretta war which got both his brother and his first wife killed... Yet he ended up knocking her up and marrying her. And Michael.. He literally told tommy yo his face he was going to take everything from him yet he didnt kick him out of the family..just didn't trust him like really! And everyone is thinking kicking finn out is reasonable? His betrayal was completely unitentional unlike Michael who was still considered family till the end..🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

i hope john will be in the movie just to see him back.

I feel like tommy wanted Charles to grow up good and duke to take over but that’s just me

I still feel bad somehow for Finn because he just tought he had a sincere friendship with Billy, but he was soooo stupid to aim and even try to shoot Isiah and Duke I just wondered why they didn't literally tell him Billy was a traitor and see then how he could react even if he could doubt it for like 5 seconds But I guess not being naïve (giving information to Billy about Mosley assassination in S5) and not being doubting ANY second is important to stay in the family, even tho you're blood since the beginning. But i personnally disagree when you guys says that he "failed" other tests like killing people just like his brothers does. Don't forget that what's make Arthur and Tommy cold blood killers is that they don't really feel anything because of the War, which Finn didn't lived through. It's a matter of personnality and not of loyaulty, that's why Finn doesn't embrace the gangster life like Isiah did. The best thing would've been to leave Finn far away from criminal business like they did with Ada, but the difference is she firmly said she didn't want to be part of it While Finn felt like he was supposed to be there or he would be a shame because he's supposed to be a grown Man, so he timidly stayed there.

Tbh I don’t blame Finn, the way I see it is that he never really fit in. And he had no idea Billy was the informant, so he just panicked. Dumb of him to trust Billy over his family, but he had no malice.

Im surprised someone had to make a full ass video explaining it tbh. I thought it was pretty obvious why. Didnt know people needed an explanation .

John, Arthur and Tommy both fought together in the war. Fin was too young and thus never lived the same as them

I just realised none of the original main family member are left at the table…. Kinda sad

Finn was out because he messed up to many things; he couldn't follow orders, be wouldn't perform "a kindness" when asked, he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Lastly, he cost them Polly, Mr. Gold, and nearly Arthur's own life in place the impossible "kindness" Tommy has in store for Mosley.

fins face looks when he got shunned looked like that average enjoyer meme🤣🤣

The only problem with Tommy faking his own death and assuming another identity is that the doctor knows he's still alive.

The real reason was that the actor who played fin wanted to move on from acting , other wise Finn would still be in the family

I strongly feel that Finn will be a villain in the movie.

Do you think the bullet with Tommy's name on it isbthe same one he got from the Lees? It was in the first or second episode of the first season.

I really feel like Finn did it accidentally, this was really weird, wish tommy would have at least addressed it in the end, he still his brother

Isn't the timeline mentioned messed up? The IRA and that group was in season 6, tommy and co were betrayed in season 5. Doesn't make sense :)

Honestly if not because of Polly death, Arthur and Tom would probably still forgive Finn. But because he leaked the information the lead to Polly's death, even Arthur can't protect him. At the very end they still give him a final chance by Tom reminding him of his name, and Arthur decided to only kick him out if he still refuse to kill Billy. Polly's death is the turning point for so many character, especially Michael and Finn.

Finn didn't know Duke's intention. No one explained anything to him. He was looking after his friend

Tbf they did exclude him from a lot of the family business, and that contributed into making him weak
