  • Sully, a character who goes through trials and tribulations, serious trauma, and a lot more tied to his life in the streets, goes deeper and deeper into the realm of evil as time goes on. In this video, we delve into his mind, and find out how this monster came to fruition.

    The job Kano did acting Sully’s character is just absolutely incredible. Sully’s character made the show for me and Kano’s acting specifically had me invested in the show and it’s characters. Well done.

      Jason was the only person he really cared about. The dynamic between Sully and Dushane is complex, on one hand they are ‘brothers in arms’ but on the other bitter rivals. But Jason was an innocent really, and seeing tough man Sully be compassionate and caring with him was a beautiful thing.
      Jason’s death was so sad not just the obvs but the destruction of Sully’s last shred of love for the world 😢 🙏

    Man, you can have a hundred bodies and still be someone’s first. Sully was a genuinely terrifying individual because every time you saw him, it could be your last day alive. However, seeing how he became what he was through the show honestly made me sympathetic towards him.

      Thing is with people like sully in the real world is you can be a bad man and have everyone scared of you cos you don't show no respect to anyone, even though he's the killer that's what causes people to lie to him cos they're scared of what he'll do, that creates resentment, he made too many enemies which in my eyes was his downfall, two examples of this is Leons death and Kierans death. Kieran didn't want to say jaq cos at first he didn't know if she robbed the money, plus cos he knew and didn't tell right away he was scared of sullys actions leading him to lie more and when found out is killed because of it

    Sully’s decision making in the early seasons showed that he wasn’t fit to be a kingpin. Dushane was the natural leader. He had to clean up Sully’s mess multiple times and Sully would’ve been dead in the first season if it wasn’t for him. He was too hot headed. Sully was thinking like a street level dealer and Dushane was trying to be the plug. I love Sully’s character, but he was a soldier/enforcer. If he embraced that role and let Dushane be the head, their crew would’ve been unstoppable.

      Yes and no. They kind of need each other to balance themselves out. Dushane is a natural leader but isn’t as heartless and grounded as Sully. They couldn’t do it with out each other and they kind of knew it.
      If you listened Sully wanted things to be equal but Dushane shuts him down, this builds hate and in the end it Dushane chose himself as he normally does.

    I think Sully killing Jamie was because he couldn't let go of what he had done in the past but also I think Jamie reminded him of Dushane and the idea of Jamie taking over would sit Sully in the number 2 spot again just under a younger Dushane. Sully knew he couldn't retire from the life. He wasn't in it for the money like Dushane was, he was in it because it was a way to survive. It was just a part of who he is now, too much had happened, there was no way he could live a peaceful retirement, he would be hunted and killed. He needed the power to stay alive and there was no-way he was going to work under Jamie.

      Nah! I think he was always a cunt. His being kidnapped had nothing to do with it. Season one he wanted to injure an innocent, Kamali’s cousin……just because he was Kamali’s cousin. Dushane had to stop that by presenting a better idea, where a “civilian” doesn’t get unnecessarily hurt.Why he seems worse in the last 2 seasons is because he doesn’t listen to Dushane anymore, I mean…not even a little bit. Most of his behaviour comes from his resentment of being second to Dushane, his obsession with being respected, being at the top since he’s always been in Dushane’s shadow. Even in the final season both Jaq and Kieron went behind his back and informed Dushane whenever there was a problem because they didn’t have faith in him to solve those problems.

      @@doves9204 lol I agree but I also think the final season didn’t help things, it was rushed and the Irish gangster angle was completely undeveloped and rushed too. If given more time, character development etc (like do NOT kill them off after TWO episodes) maybe it could’ve had some impact. Shelley was a ‘good’ person which I found tiresome tbh, I wanted to see her darker side or ANY different side. She seemed like the sort of people who makes you feel inadequate and immoral lol 😂

    Growing up I was often in the presence of guys like Sully (most of who are dead or in jail) guys easily capable of 💥 if they felt wronged, but at the same time could be your best friend and come across as salt of the earth guys. (There’s a reason you root for sully and dushane) truly terrifying tbh. I always kept my mouth shut around those guys. I’m not scared of no man, but a man with nothing to lose is something else.

    Sully is one the best written characters I’ve seen in a long long time in a Netflix show or most shows nowadays.
    Sully FULLY sticks with the code and watching his character development clash with Dashane was a very very good touch even till the end. People laugh at the meme “ I would have given you the money” but the truth is he would have cos he sly wants approval because he could have took him out at anytime?
    PLUS Sully normally kill’s people in the head but he shot Dushane in the stomach and didn’t finish him off, he could bare to watch him bleed out but he knew he had to stick to the code even if it was his friend.
