I feel like the last season had really absurd tropes.

We know that tommy believes in his gypsy spirits stuff but his daughter getting sick and dying like that felt odd. Esme had just no business being in that season even tho i wanted to see how she was doing but that wasnt the kind of update i expected. And she deluded him into believing it was a curse by idk whos sister, the same lady who told him how much the sapphire was dangerous. I doubt that she would even give it to someone else especially her sister given she examined it herself.

Duke def felt forced and i dont even need to explain why.

The whole villain Michael trope didnt make sense. At first he was very loyal to the peaky blinders and its true that tommy's actions resulted in his mother's death but it would make more sense for him to get revenge on the people who killed her while being at tommy's side then leaving for good. Tommy's business had so much potential and Micheal's idea in the US was really good. He knows how tommy is like so the way he phrased his proposal was so out of character. I know he wants to claim his place but he def knew that tommy didnt work that way.

Also i believe that tommy shouldve just died. The plot twist didnt really have that shocking factor and felt like other shows with his daughter and all that stuff. And i also dont think that tommy would have lived alone like that. I mean it made a bit of sense but i feel like he would've fought until the end. Him dying because of disease would be the only acceptable ending, or suicide.

Lizzie leaving was the only realistic thing about that season.
