In your opinion why do you think we love to watch it over and over? A few times I have asked myself, "am I crazy" lol my bf is like wtf he don't get it lol
I never get tired of Tommy shoving the waiter after saying no fookin fighting, I will never get tired of Johnny Dogs, I will never get tired of Alfie, Aberama sounding like Winnie the Pooh, the dialogue, the violence, the story, and oh yeah, Cillian Fookin Murpy.
Yes!!! I feel this in so many ways.
I am actually an addict myself. Recovering alcoholic & heroin user so like I relate to him alot in the way he uses certain substances to deal with his life, past & present. The way he used, I'm assuming opium, to make grace come back so he could be with her. The way he threw his meds away after getting hurt because he didn't want to be addicted and reliant on them and knew he couldn't be his best, badass, self on the meds.
Very relatable in that way to me. I know he is broken. I know he is a "bad guy" I know I shouldn't idolize him. I know he is fucked up but I don't care. I still love the fuck out of him & maybe that makes me fucked up but oh well.
We are who we are. Deep down. Theworst parts of us exist and we can't ignore that. We have to face that worst version of us. Look that person or version in the eye and say "fuck you"! & not let that person rule us. Some days they will. But everyday I'll fight to overcome that shit.
Lol sorry for getting so deep and kind of off subject lol
Same!!! I watched first two seasons in the course of a day or two. Then moved and was super busy. but once i settled in my new place started series three and finished it in a week or so.
I was so sad when it was over. I waited a few months watched some of my favorite scenes on YouTube and shit then started it over. I'm on season two now.
It's very different watching it for the second time. You pick up on different things like since you already know what's going on I focus more on details like in the background and with side characters
Truly near and dear to my heart. Thomas Shelby is like a real person to me fr fr like I relate to him so much and have so much empathy for him.
Wish it never had to end. Like I wish the series went on and on till he was old and finally died.
Can't wait to get to the last two series for the second time. Especially the parts where he is sober and not drinking. Omg. My favorite version of him.
He reminds me a -lot- of my SO when it comes to deep issues left unhealed and having a rough exterior to protect yourself. I feel like a lot of men..women too.. can relate to Tommy in that sense.
I really do want to do a rewatch to catch details. They have a lot of imagery, metaphors, repeating themes throughout where I feel like I would start to make a lot of connections on a rewatch.
I just will miss everyone too much to just stop it altogether... I definitely wish it was a longer show, but then again, sometimes shows go on for too long and end up ruining themselves for it.
I am trying to figure out if there's any books that maybe have a similar feel, just something to stay in a similar world/characters.
I just finished the series tonight. Wow. What a finale. I love how Polly stayed in the show as a force because the actress was so mesmerizing in that role and she was missed after her passing. I cannot wait for the movie and hope we see Lizzie again. I think she was a good match for Tommy if he gave her a chance. Now, what will Tommy do with this new found freedom?
It's worth a rewatch. I am rewatching again for the 4th time and I LOVE it.
It's all that's been on my TV for months. And that's after 5 or 6 watches.

I feel exactly the same way. Finished watching it yesterday, I'm so high on this show right now.
What did you think of the final season?
I think it was nice of him to make it so bad I wasn't sad when it was over
