this is my favorite series, I've watched it many times, as a fan of Sons and seeing that you watch Peaky Blinders, I recommend warrior and Yellowstone, these four series are the great combination, and in addition to Yellowstone, there are two more mini-series 1883 and 1923, I strongly recommend them even more than the others, and the continuation of the Maya should also be looked at the sons
A note on Alfie's intro. When he offered Tommy a sample of the rum, he wasn't doing that out of hospitality but as a test of character. While the analogy of "breads" doesn't exactly carry over with alcohol, back then white bread was considered a priviledge for the upper class as it required more ingredients to make and was then more expensive. Brown bread was cheaper and seen as "dirtier," only for the poor. Much like Tommy, Alfie holds no respect for anyone who assumes authority through priviledge and not trial (Campbell and his lack of military service for Tommy, Sabini and his racism towards Jews and upbringing as an Italian for Alfie). Therefore when Tommy chose the "brown bread" over the "white bread," that signifies his identity with the poorer working class than with the upper class, despite the fact that the Shelbys are going up in the world. That granted him an audience with Solomons.
Additionally, Tommy's nosebleed holds significant meaning for Alfie. It's referred to as a stigmata. In certain faiths (and I could be corrected if I'm wrong, I'm not a theologist), the stigmata is a sign that someone has been touched by God and their mortal forms can't handle that divinity so the result is a minor injury with no apparent cause such as a nosebleed. Alfie being firmly and devoutly Jewish, Alfie was a hundred percent about to kill Tommy until he saw the nosebleed and took it a sign divine sign that killing Tommy was the incorrect choice.
@@loisrogers9042 I've only seen him in Peaky Blinders, but perhaps you've watched "Animal Kingdom", he's done 75 episodes of that show, according to imdb.
As a veteran (UK) I didn’t get this series at first - yeah I know. But the more it progressed, the more I got it and felt it. This portrayal of ptsd by the ensemble cast, both men and women, is a true piece of art in the spirit of the Greek tragedies from millennia ago. So glad you are watching this, for yourselves and us. Thank you both
Even more so, that in an odd historical reference, in WW1 Italy was on the Allies side, though I doubt they fought with British/Commonwealth/Empire and/or French and latterly American forces on the Western Front. They of course take liberties for story and pace they get the big things right.
Love watching this through your eyes. I’m from cork city about 6 miles from where Cillian used to live I’m in my 40s as well and l I love to see what he has done for our tiny country, 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Tom Hardy has a motorcycle gang movie coming out this June 21st, called "The Bikeriders." It also stars Austin Butler, Norman Reedus, Michael Shannon and Jodi Comer.
The place with the stained glass windows and tiles, where Sabini lost his shit, is Hathersage road Victorian baths in Manchester. I used to use the steam rooms and deluge showers there. It crops up a few times in this show. The swimming pool is used during a horse auction.
About Polly's children, didn't they mention in season 1 that her kids were taken by corrupt authorities back when the Romani were 'weak' and getting walked on? I think the story Henry/Michael's adopted mother got were the lies in the records.
The scene with Tommy and Arthur next to the fire is one of my favorite of the entire series. They both have different forms of PTSD. Tommy would have dreams and panic about the tunnels. Arthur responds to his PTSD with rage, which is probably what he did to survive WWI. Arthur to me is just as interesting as Tommy.
It was so fascinating how her son saw her for first time, as a drunken woman, what was going through his head. Then he picked up the keys which showed that he thought he have to do this and now care for her
I just watched episode 1 yesterday this is great I get another one and I don't gotta wait a few days, you two must really love it. Also Happy Birthday Nikki may it be bright and happy :) if you end up reading this, love ya guys keep uploading the fantabulous videos :)
Tommy, Ghost and Franklin Saint are my favorite TV criminals of all time. All 3 of them spent a ton of time sacrificing, protecting and loving people who often times were angry at them for doing what they thought was best. Every decision wasn't necessarily the best, but their intentions were often good when it came to family.
Perfect reactions from you both... Very thoughtful and I love the way you both take turns to listen to each other and speak equally.... Brilliant series and Cillian Murphy is gorgeous.....😍🇬🇧👏
I'm having a ball watching the two of you watching one of the best tv shows around for a long, long time. So glad I found your channel. Episode 3 here we come. Nikki, I love that you have seen "Legend." Tom Hardy was just stunning in it.
Sabini looks familiar because the actor, Noah Taylor, was in Game of Thrones. He played Locke, the guy who cut Jaime’s hand off in season 3. Happy Birthday Nikki!
00:12:33 Alfie grabs the gun from the other drawer to literally prove to Tommy/the audience why delayed or incorrect intelligence is useless and he is a lunatic but not quite, which is why he's scariest of all to me. he serves himself, believes only he exists and respects only the rules of "the wicked world"
Noah taylor who played by Sabini was on Game of thrones. He played Locke who had Jamie's hand cut off, had brieene of tatty fight a bear and infiltrated the watch to kill jon but was killed during the raid against the mutineers at Crasters keep
Another Series that Finn Cole (Michael Gray) is in that's super good is called Animal Kingdom. It's an American spin off show of the Australian Movie "Animal Kingdom". You guys seem to like crime shows so that's a great suggestion.
The one thing throughout the show is the sought of loyalty between ww1 veterans like the room with churchill everyone aside from the inspector was at the somme or verdun
I'm so happy that your finely reacting to peaky blinders.. I've been asking since games of thrones times.. I love season 3 and 4. Cant wait for you to react to it.. P.S HURRY UP LOL
I'm adopted and as someone who is adopted, the situation with Henry/Michael is very complicated. I feel deeply for Polly, but I also feel deeply for his adoptive parents and don't believe showing up on their doorstep and shaking up their lives just like that was the right thing to do.
Honestly, Alfie Solomons...one of the greatest tv characters ever written, Alfie and Tommy, Tom and Cillian...casting at its best, you are going to love how this develops! Some of the things he comes out with, cracks me up 😂
Oh yeah, maybe not so fun fact but the word "gypsy" is basically the same as the n word in europe these days, while it isn't even seen as a negative word at all in the us. Roma would be the politically correct term. another not so fun fact, until just a few years ago the swedish police had a registry of "gypsies" that they got caught with. another one is that it's generally not really frowned upon the be racist against them, it's super common unfortunately.
Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy play together in Inception (2010), The Dark Knight rises (2012) and Dunkirk (2017), but when i've watched this show i hoped that Hardy will stay till the very end.

THE KRAYS, IS A MUCH BETTER MOVIE THAN LEGEND IN MY OPINION.. JUST A FYI
You guys need to watch animal kingdom it's a great series
this is my favorite series, I've watched it many times, as a fan of Sons and seeing that you watch Peaky Blinders, I recommend warrior and Yellowstone, these four series are the great combination, and in addition to Yellowstone, there are two more mini-series 1883 and 1923, I strongly recommend them even more than the others, and the continuation of the Maya should also be looked at the sons
Are you guys gonna react to Fallout? Ya know... pretty popular rn, good views
Fun fact for you guys...Mr Sabini is the thug who cut Jaimie Lannisters hand off in GOT
Alfie Solomons is one of the greatest Television character creations of all time.
glazing like crazy. don't forget to clean the tip and zip it when u done
@@accountnew7030Yes daddy.
Absolutely Tom Hardy brilliant actor
SHALOM! Arthur! SHALOM!
If you haven't seen it check out Taboo (2017) for another incredible turn from Tom!
Love how frequent you’re uploading your Peaky Blinders reactions. It’s such a binge worthy show
leave a like BY ORDER OF THE PEAKY BLINDERS
100%
They are dropping the ball and missing out on the shogun frenzy
They're at season 4 now i think, these are uploaded late
Ngl I'd like for them to upload at least once on the weekend, i like to watch these while i eat pizza 😅
Alfie Solomon finally appeared, one of the best characters in the entire series!
Totally agree
One of the best characters in any series
A note on Alfie's intro. When he offered Tommy a sample of the rum, he wasn't doing that out of hospitality but as a test of character.
While the analogy of "breads" doesn't exactly carry over with alcohol, back then white bread was considered a priviledge for the upper class as it required more ingredients to make and was then more expensive. Brown bread was cheaper and seen as "dirtier," only for the poor.

Therefore when Tommy chose the "brown bread" over the "white bread," that signifies his identity with the poorer working class than with the upper class, despite the fact that the Shelbys are going up in the world. That granted him an audience with Solomons.
I didn’t put this much thought into it, but I assumed this was was the case. Tommy’s from working class and proud of it.
Thanks. Never realised that.
Additionally, Tommy's nosebleed holds significant meaning for Alfie.
It's referred to as a stigmata. In certain faiths (and I could be corrected if I'm wrong, I'm not a theologist), the stigmata is a sign that someone has been touched by God and their mortal forms can't handle that divinity so the result is a minor injury with no apparent cause such as a nosebleed. Alfie being firmly and devoutly Jewish, Alfie was a hundred percent about to kill Tommy until he saw the nosebleed and took it a sign divine sign that killing Tommy was the incorrect choice.
Alfie might be the only character that people like more than Tommy. Lol. Tom Hardy is such a great actor.
Both great actors, both great characters.
well, not all are the same.. i still love tommy a lot. ;)
No one can top Tommy ❤❤❤
Sabini's actor played Locke in Game of Thrones, the guy who cut off Jaime Lannister's hand.
Happy Birthday Nikki!
Noah Taylor, an Australian actor. He was also in Edge of Tomorrow.
Also Hitler in Preacher lol
Fun fact: Polly's son Michael, is played by Finn Cole, the brother of Joe Cole, who plays Johnny.
He looks so familiar! What else has he played in since?
@@loisrogers9042 I've only seen him in Peaky Blinders, but perhaps you've watched "Animal Kingdom", he's done 75 episodes of that show, according to imdb.
@@loisrogers9042 I know he played the young version of Dom’s brother in the 9th fast and furious not sure what else he was in
@@loisrogers9042 Finn Cole starred in the series Animal Kingdom and had a role in F9
Animal kingdom! That's where he is from ! It was bugging me that he looked familiar but wasn't sure from what ! Lol thank you 😊
So happy you finally met Alfie. The scenes with Hardy and Cillian are all masterclasses in acting.
Take a shot every time he says “going trough it”
Good T-shirt, Steven!

Thank you both
"kinda seems like a dangerous person" Alfie is pretty much the only character Tommy Shelby is even remotely afraid of
He is not afraid, he has respect. He admires what Alfie has achieved.
@@ReiSoberano. If you don't think Tommy is afraid of Alfie and what he's capable of then you weren't paying much attention to the show.
Even more so, that in an odd historical reference, in WW1 Italy was on the Allies side, though I doubt they fought with British/Commonwealth/Empire and/or French and latterly American forces on the Western Front.
They of course take liberties for story and pace they get the big things right.
@@The_Stranger1986 you dont achieve what these men achieve and have fear of other men. Tommy wasn't afraid of anyone.
@@nsmith3128 Sure thing buddy 👍 whatever you say
When scarecrow and bane do business
ba-dum-tss
Eames and Fischer
Love watching this through your eyes. I’m from cork city about 6 miles from where Cillian used to live I’m in my 40s as well and l I love to see what he has done for our tiny country, 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Cork City is so beautiful! My favorite place in Ireland.
Tom Hardy has a motorcycle gang movie coming out this June 21st, called "The Bikeriders." It also stars Austin Butler, Norman Reedus, Michael Shannon and Jodi Comer.
That’s a stacked cast..
Only heard of Norman reedus and he's very much a Us level tv actor
Yes! Alfies character has arrived! Love him! Also paulie and Ada became two of my favs on this show.
Not going to lie, took my awhile to figure out who Paulie is,
You meant ** Polly
The place with the stained glass windows and tiles, where Sabini lost his shit, is Hathersage road Victorian baths in Manchester.
I used to use the steam rooms and deluge showers there.
It crops up a few times in this show.
The swimming pool is used during a horse auction.
I love the Campbell & Churchill scene. It kills Campbell that Tommy is more respected by those men than he'll ever be!
About Polly's children, didn't they mention in season 1 that her kids were taken by corrupt authorities back when the Romani were 'weak' and getting walked on? I think the story Henry/Michael's adopted mother got were the lies in the records.
Love both Alfie and Michael, with Tommy and Polly all 4 of my favourite characters are now on screen!
Tbh I really do understand Tommy's reasoning not to tell Polly where her son is but I also understand her rage at not knowing. it's sad really.
trust me when I say when Alfie Solomons speaks you have to listen👍🏾 he might sound crazy rn but he’s one of be best characters in the show
You guys are Italians? Can’t wait for season 4. 😂
😂
Can't wait for Adrien Brody's Italian accent you mean :)
Right!!! I was like ooooo this is gonna be good!
The scene with Tommy and Arthur next to the fire is one of my favorite of the entire series. They both have different forms of PTSD. Tommy would have dreams and panic about the tunnels. Arthur responds to his PTSD with rage, which is probably what he did to survive WWI. Arthur to me is just as interesting as Tommy.
It was so fascinating how her son saw her for first time, as a drunken woman, what was going through his head. Then he picked up the keys which showed that he thought he have to do this and now care for her
He brought her a house in my hometown on the edge of Birmingham. I was like oh i know that place
Thank you for uploading more than one episode a week its fun to watch along and not have to wait a week for next epsiode!
I hope ya'll enjoy Alfie's character. He's always fun
"Mr Sabini is making us Italians look kind of cuckoo" ... if it helps, the Sabinis weren't actually Italian, they were Maltese
I get so happy every time you guys upload a video!!
Happy Birthday Nikki!
Almost 3k views in 30 min says a lot. We been waiting on yall to dive into this one 🤙🏼
They started watching and I couldn’t wait for their uploads and started rewatching myself again. I’m almost finished for maybe the 4th time. lol.
@@susanconstable2113Yeah I'm on my 4th watch too lol

I just watched episode 1 yesterday this is great I get another one and I don't gotta wait a few days, you two must really love it. Also Happy Birthday Nikki may it be bright and happy :) if you end up reading this, love ya guys keep uploading the fantabulous videos :)
Tommy and Alfie as a duo is fkn legendary! this show is severely underrated, keep it going!
Absolutely loving these reactions guys
Alfie another one of the best characters, one of the few who can check Tommy the way Aunt Paulie does.
*aunt Polly* really easy to spell
It’s wild that Winston Churchill is in this show, and the actor playing him does a pretty good job!
Alfie Solomon!!!!! Quality character
Tommy, Ghost and Franklin Saint are my favorite TV criminals of all time. All 3 of them spent a ton of time sacrificing, protecting and loving people who often times were angry at them for doing what they thought was best. Every decision wasn't necessarily the best, but their intentions were often good when it came to family.
Glad yall started the peaky blinders such a good show cant wait to keep seeing both of your reactions!
Alfie is basically Bane but Jewish Gangster in early 20th century lmao
THIS IS IT! These two have the most epic scenes ever!
Perfect reactions from you both... Very thoughtful and I love the way you both take turns to listen to each other and speak equally....
Brilliant series and Cillian Murphy is gorgeous.....😍🇬🇧👏
Introducing my favourite character
Michael, eh?
In a series full of strong characters. Alfie is at the top of the pile
I was watch your reactions while I work and I looked up and saw your hoodie! I’m Samoan and that hoodie is 🔥🔥
Im so happy you are in Season 2 already! 😊🤘
I'm having a ball watching the two of you watching one of the best tv shows around for a long, long time. So glad I found your channel. Episode 3 here we come. Nikki, I love that you have seen "Legend." Tom Hardy was just stunning in it.
this Episode was such emotional 😢 i am sitting here in tears! 😭
Happy birthday Nikki! Wishing you both well!
I’ve been watching for 3 days now 🙋🏽♂️
Sabini looks familiar because the actor, Noah Taylor, was in Game of Thrones. He played Locke, the guy who cut Jaime’s hand off in season 3.

Happy Birthday, Nikki!

Happy early birthday Nikki!
I’m so happy you guys stared watching this show 2 weeks after I found out you guys didn’t watch it xD
Alfie is one of the best characters
Do a shot of whiskey every time Steven says "I mean" in the post-episode wrap - by order of the Peaky Blinders!
The 2 boys that play John Shelby and Michael Gray are Brothers in real life
Explains why they look pretty alike.
Solomons!!! Finally😊
Happy Birthday Nikki🎉
I completely forgot Polly's son was so early in the series
So excited for the Alphie arc. Watching Hardy and Murphy together---amazing.
A very Happy Birthday to you Nikki!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIKKI!!!
Omggg Nikki’s hoodie!!! I’m from American Samoa lol but I’m tuning in from Auckland, New Zealand. Love your channel 👏🏽👏🏽🤍🤍
This is a show hoodie that was sent to me. It's from "Better Call Saul" highly recommend it, it's a great show
Im loving this leaky blinders reaction. Honestly my favourite show ever, it’s amazing. I’m glad you guys are watching it too
Yay....youve finally met Alfie...he's a whole other level of crazy
Love the channel and the American Samoa sweater!🇦🇸🇦🇸
Happy birthday Nikki
Early lunch here because I have to see this reaction right away
Customers can wait
Yeah! Alfie is here! Such an amazing character!
Awesome reaction. I love this show. Can’t wait to see the next

I'm adopted and as someone who is adopted, the situation with Henry/Michael is very complicated. I feel deeply for Polly, but I also feel deeply for his adoptive parents and don't believe showing up on their doorstep and shaking up their lives just like that was the right thing to do.
Fun fact: The actor who played Sabini is the actor who cut jaimie Lannisters hand in GOT
Pollys son Michael also is in a show I love and have recommended before called Animal Kingdom
I have seen not a single comment talking about this also being Michael’s first episode 😂
Excellent vid. Great show.
Honestly, Alfie Solomons...one of the greatest tv characters ever written, Alfie and Tommy, Tom and Cillian...casting at its best, you are going to love how this develops! Some of the things he comes out with, cracks me up 😂
You have now met Alfie Solomons. Let the most epic business relationship in a series begin.
yank vs english tv the diference is mega
Alfie has now entered the scene!
Sabini actor is locke from GOT
the american samoa sweatshirt reminded me of better call saul immediately
Everybody here talking about how Alfie is such a good character but i just want to say Curly needs some love as well, he's awesome.
The goats are back!
Oh yeah, maybe not so fun fact but the word "gypsy" is basically the same as the n word in europe these days, while it isn't even seen as a negative word at all in the us. Roma would be the politically correct term.

Happy Birthday Nikki. Have a great day.
Happy birthday nikki 🎉❤
Loved your reaction as always. You should watch society of the snow. It's a great movie and I would love to hear what you have to say about that one
Finn Cole and Joe Cole are brothers in real life
RIP Helen McCrory one of the great actors of our time
Nikki - jus wanted to wish you a very Happy Birthday for tomorrow. Hope you have a great day 😄🎂🥳
