Well they had to find something for him or else his character will go stale. Either be a successor or got greedy and betray the family. John "died" because the actor wanted out. There was nothing going on with his character at that time.

Yea they really did him dirty and turned into him into a traitor so easily, the classic boring way of cooked up with drugs and his woman kind of traitor, wanting power for himself, like you'd see in any mafia movie really, quite boring. Whereas he could have been so much more, like a steady rock as he seemed to be, a constant calm force, walking behind Tommy, and who could have been a precious asset and Tommy's only steady support, like Polly was, in the very dark and troubled time that was the last season. Such a shame, and lazy writting.

It's kinda complicated, isn't it? Grace dies and sets up the plot of season 4, then John dies at the start of season 4 because the actor wanted out. Season 4 was great, but it was the first season that felt like "Tommy vs. the Big Bad." The ensemble dynamic became pretty lopsided. Really, the Big Bads were the biggest reason to watch seasons 4 and 5. Michael's meandering downfall was just a byproduct of the show kind of running out of creative steam.

There’s literally one black family in all of Birmingham(that’s shown in the series) and they are in the Peaky Blinders. You see a well dressed black kid, it should be your que not to mess with him. How did that idiot screw it up? 😂

Honestly felt like bad writing. Like they needed a 'racism' moment. Only black guy around who everyone knows is connected and shouldn't be touched but he just randomly is like why is there a black person here.

What episode was this?

Michael was a beast early on, what a damn shame

The bartender could've said they are Peaky before the fight, and also why burn the Pub when you can beat up the MF who disrespected them in the first place, love the show but cmon bro that was some poor writing there.
