Finn was the only brother that didn’t fight in France, and it’s that that what made him different. In earlier series Tommy and Arthur spoke about that but neither of them seemed to realise the difference that would make to a boy growing up in that family. Then again Finn grew up after the family was becoming really powerful, so there was never the pressure to develop or die. So you’re right most of Finn’s problems are down to Tommy’s mismanagement (I never understood why he was allowed to grow up uneducated), though not all his fault as nobody else did anything either. But in the end Finn’s lack of backbone in carving out a place for himself in the organisation and willingness to live the easy life that did for him, in that sort of environment you have to earn your place and missing that point was what ultimately cost him.

The biggest problem I saw was that Finn wasn't cut from the same cloth as Tommy, Arthur, and John. All of Finn's older brothers fought in France. Not only did they all possess a soldier's discipline in following orders but they also had the instinct to kill and to keep a tight lip; all things Finn could never develop from the gangster lifestyle alone. Like the sons of mob bosses, he rode the coattails of success until he was handed a position in the inner circle due to john's death.

The brothers were never going to fully respect him because he wasn’t in the war like they were.

Polly insisted that Finn was kept out of the business until he was older. He wasn't hardened by the war unlike his 3 brothers, or a cold businessman like Michael so he always had a soft core to him. Even Duke was more like Tommy than Finn. Keeping him at the bookies, especially with the other guy close to him was a major risk to the family. Finn was the kid of the family who should have stuck to Ada. Finn wasn't a traitor, he was the most careless member of the crew who easily let out information to strangers. He wasn't just built for the mob life.

By the time he returned he was the most hardened of all his brothers and ready to end the conflict once and for all.

He is the most foolish Corleone, easily swayed by praise and the glory of others. While we're on the analogy, Tommy is a mix of Sonny,Tom and Michael with a drop of Vito.

A few more points would be when Arthur Shelby Sr dies, Tommy makes it clear that Finn was too young to remember him while he was an active member, the leader of the blinders, before the war. Finn has no knowledge of the pre-war business, was too young to go to war so never learned military discipline and rank, was never forced into getting used to seeing men die - "I got used to seeing men die. Never got used to seeing horses die" ~ Tommy. The three brothers are numb to it all. The most vital difference, to paraphrase Polly - "We Shelby's, we live somewhere between life and death, just waiting to move on." The brothers and Polly all had several near death experiences and see the remaining of their lives as nothing more than extra. Finn has no concept of it. He's just a normal kid trying to fit in with hardened military trained gangsters and was ultimately driven to the wrong decision by jealousy of Duke, quickly becoming John's replacement instead of him, and his own stupidity and ignorance.

He really didnt want it. So, now hes out. Makes sense to me

Not exactly, because awkwardly he did all the work asked of him several times. He slipped up once - and it was a big mistake, obviously, but Tommy, Arthur, John, even Polly - they all slipped up and admittedly have done MUCH worse mistakes in their times. Tommy screwed up with the russians and got the entire family arrested, Polly to go cuckoo, Arthur to kill innocents civilians and he was only bailed up via political convictions. Arthur literally screwed the family out of ton of money thrusting Arthur Sr. PLus, with the substance abuse later on he nearly started a war picking fights with people he shouldn't be fucking with. John was so enraged with the idea of a peaky whore fucking an italian that he nearly caused a war with the italians, got Grace killed, and caused himself to get executed and the entire Italian plot to kill the Shelby family was his fault. Plus, it's because of this situation that Michael got the opportunity to betray the family with the US mafia. Polly told the cleric guy that Tommy was planning to kill him, causing Tommy to get literally brain damaged and disabled for months. Finn choosing to randomly shoot Isaiah and one of his childhood friends to protect a booker who kept abusing drugs and made scraps money while the family made tens of thousands felt barely sensical. It would've made more sense Isaiah to lie and trick Finn to get kicked out of the family, using Tommy's trust of him against Finns. Instead it's played out straight. I dunno.

Tommy, Arthur and John fought a war that scarred them for life, they always wanted the family to "get clean". Away from being Gangsters to respectable businessmen. They let Finn grow up in accordance to that. He never was part of the Gangster Business. Then they just threw him in and expected him to swim

Finn exposed himself when he called Tommy by his name which he never did before, showing his lack of respect for him

What if finn finally learned his lessons, and before the world war 2 begin, he created his own gang and start to spread his influence as to be feared and Ruthless gangster like when tommy is getting started?

That thumbnail looks like Finn with a facial

The issue with Finn essentially plays the role of the spoiled son. He gets all the perks of being in the family. So he gets the fame, fortune etc, but he lacks leadership skills and judgment because unlike his brothers he didnt fight for anything. Finn never went through the struggles the rest of them had too. so when he feels like he's finally a boss he becomes reckless. He runs his mouth too much, trusts practically anyone and uses all the luxury of the business. So it makes sense they kicked him out. The only problem is that they let a bitter openly trusting finn who knows all their secrets out into the world. This means tommys enemys will use him to take down the shelbys while he's gone.

Makes you wonder if finn would have beeb different jf john had lived, Since he was closer to John and John had a softer heart

Finn could have been a fire antagonist

Finn's track record of mistakes started in 1x1 with that cigarette

"Don't ever take sides against the family"

They failed Finn completely and then blamed him for their failure. If they didn't want him in the business they could've sent him off for a proper education-- That never happened. Instead he was the younger brother always trying to be involved and told to sit down... til I was time to stand up on command. Arthur and John gave Michael a better run down against Polly's wishes. Finn never got that. He never got anything. He was just... there.

Main leit-motiv of the entire program is the sort of hate for Finn since he didn’t have to fight in WWI

They were being good big brothers keeping him at arms length with the family business but just like any other younger brother would he wanted to fit in with his older brothers . In early seasons you can see Arthur and Tommy both “Sit down Finn” both literally and figuratively to keep him away . Tommy making him cut the guys eyes probably was a culture shock to him and since he hadn’t had the same amount of time/opportunity to learn the art of war and family secrecy he was doomed . Him being a made man shielded him from the chance somebody would manipulate him to get to the family . Poor guy probably didn’t know Billy was the reason Aberama Pol and the other soldier died , but he also made a bad judgement call trying to save the traitor who got his aunt killed . He got your aunt killed man . Can’t blame Tommy for him making that last bad decision when he had all the information .

3:00 he said "They took your brother" because they indeed have taken John's life.

People are saying that the show did Finn dirty, or they didn't know what to do with him is stupid. Finn precisely played the role he was meant to have. Michael played the role of the lad who had ambition to be the next Tommy Shelby. Finn played the role of the lad who merely enjoyed the privilege of being a Shelby. Lastly, it's not that he wasn't "raised right" by his brothers, when it fits the clear narrative of how bad of a father they are. It'd make 0 sense if they'd raise Finn right, while being absent fathers to their own children.

"First true friend Finn had" well he's a true shit of a friend considering he got Finn's family killed. That never made any sense. Even out of self preservation Finn would have emptied the gun and killed him given the circumstances.

what happened to Finn was bad writing

Why exile and not just take him out?

Finn is better off. He's just a normal boy who didn't go through hell.

Truth be told, the last two seasons were dreadful.

Finn was useless

What was good? The fighting?... ok. Sure, the choreography wasn't that bad, but far from good. What was the saving plot point? Weak and unexplained Thrawn with zero backstory, nor reason to fear him as "blue data" does nothing. The 30 minute runtime of a penultimate episode of the season? Open plot points that lack any logic, especially that hilariously inept court scene.... there is no evidence of the testimonial experiences... Especially of the space whales... despite a starship, that had a very close encounter with everything spoken of, that's docked right there... with hundreds, maybe even thousands of eyewitnesses, nevermind the entire officer corp, fully capable of affirming the entire experience.... but that takes highschool writing to acknowledge... So... There's no evidence at all, of the "unbelievably fictitious claims".... Right. Excellent storytelling. Since when does the Star Wars universe NOT have star maps? Voice and/or video recording? How is civilizations in a galaxy capable of faster than light travel....NOT REALIZE that there's other galaxies? Why did Thrawn go back to precisely where his sworn enemies left him, instead of going to the Empire Remnants location? Why then did he send a handful of troopers to "delay" when completely eradication from atmospheric bombardment was one button away? It's so stupid. All of it. Drinking "memberberry" Kool aid is just self-chosen ignorance.

Finn is the youngest brother of every family that the parents over cared for and the siblings bullied. It’s sad.

What I never liked about the last season is that Duke basically comes out of nowhere. And at first he is just a swift pickpocket with a big mouth and a troubled relationship with his new familiy, but suddenly he is this super committed Peaky Blinder and a cold blooded killer.
