'Peaky Blinders': The two times Thomas Shelby was an absolute sweetheart

Thomas Shelby rarely smiles, but when he does something unlikely of him, it is one of the sweetest things on the show
PUBLISHED DEC 12, 2018

Thomas Shelby, the clan leader of the Peaky Blinders, is not the most polite man on earth, certainly not the kind to charm with his sweetness but one who would rather seduce you with his well-articulated, merciless statements.

That is right, Thomas Shelby is by far the worst man to go around with, but the women who have known him closely have always seen him as an organized civil man, who was compelled to endure hardships  and was never rewarded for them.

The show returns in late spring of 2019, when Thomas will encounter one of his deadliest enemies, and who will hail from Glasgow with a vendetta to bring down the Shelbys. 

In spite of his garb as the unforgiving anti-hero, Thomas Shelby has had moments when we couldn't help but feel sorry for him. A man who had to leave his family to help his comrades at war and only returned suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, Thomas heavily relies on cocaine to give him some relief from his tormenting thoughts about the collapsing tunnel and how he had to cut his way through it in order save himself from dying of breathlessness.
