'Peaky Blinders' Season 5: Thomas Shelby used these women to get ahead, but hopefully now things will be different
When it comes to playing a character as complex and convoluted as Thomas Shelby, even actor Cillian Murphy states that it leaves him exhausted. Especially, after the death of his wife, Grace (Annabelle Willis), Thomas seems to have changed drastically when it comes to his attitude towards women, and in his attempt to achieve success he has committed some damnable acts. Thomas maintains a strong connection with Lizzie (Natasha O'Keeffe), a romantic inclination towards May (Charlotte Riley), and a sort of agreement over the partnership with Jessie Eden (Charlie Murphy). However, these are the women that Thomas uses to step on and get ahead and he doesn't mind doing away with them when he no longer needs them.
Fans, however, seem to have a problem with the way Thomas has been treating the women, who have all loved him relentlessly. As Season 5 is just around the corner let us hope that Thomas changes his outlook towards women so that he doesn't exploit them the way he has some of the most dynamic female characters on the show.
