A Definitive Ranking of The Characters of Peaky Blinders

scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com

So, I started Peaky Blinders and my friends know that once I start a new Netflix show I can't just watch it and move on. No, even though I would love to be one of those people who can just move on, I become borderline obsessed and force all of my friends to watch it. With all of that being said, I want to encourage all of you to watch Peaky on Netflix and I'm hoping the following ranking of characters will persuade you to become just as obsessed as me.

1. Thomas (Tommy) Shelby

Alright, so picking Tommy as my number one is based solely on the fact that he's a #snack. However, he gets his family in a lot of trouble and that's kind of a part foul.

2. Polly Shelby

Polly earns the number two spot because we LOVE an HBIC.

3. Jon Shelby

This Shelby brother earns the number three spot because he's also a #snack. I mean come on!! Look at that walk!!

4. Michael Grey

I'm not saying that smoking is a good habit BUT I MEAN LOOK AT HIM. This is a Mr. Grey I can really get on board with lol.

5. Alfie Solomons

Even though Tom Hardy's character is arguably one of the funniest in the show, he earns the number five spot because he's kind of the worst.

6. Grace Shelby

As much as I LOVE seeing Thomas and Grace together I'm not really sure how I feel about her. Also, every time she sings I low key get second hand embarrassment???

Giphy

7. Arthur Shelby

The only think I really like about Arthur is the way he says "by order of the Peaky F*cking Blinders". I mean I get he's wrestling with some demons but he really needs to get his life together.

8. Inspector Campbell

Giphy

The only thing worse than his character on the show is his terrible Irish accent. #sorrynotsorry.

If you ever have a weekend to spare (I know you will) consider watching Peaky! There are only 24 episodes and I guarantee you won't be able to stop once you've started and once you watch it I encourage you to make your own list! But if you rank anyone above Inspector Campbell, I'm sorry, we just can't be friends.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

817

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
