![]() ![]() While claiming to be fighting for justice, Campbell is nothing more than a sadist, who abuses his authority to bully the weak. After Tommy assassinates the target, Campbell attempts to have Tommy executed once he had outlived his usefulness. When Tommy deviates from Campbell's plan he has Tommy's brother and cousin thrown in jail and beaten up only releasing them if Tommy's aunt Polly has sex with him he later rapes Polly when she tries to back out. Upon being promoted to Major, Campbell orchestrates an plan to have Tommy assassinate Henry Russell, and later burns a man alive under a pile of searing charcoal when he interferes. He later incites a gang war between the Peaky Blinders and a rival gang in hopes that Tommy dies, uncaring if innocents die, and attempts to kill Grace himself. ![]() Despite recovering the guns he becomes enraged when he learns that his mole, Grace actually fell in love with Tommy he takes his rage out at a prostitute by brutally raping her. Campbell later tortures and kills a suspect under his custody. When he learns that Arthur's brother Thomas "Tommy" Michael Shelby is the leader, he makes his presence known to him by demanding the location of the stolen guns with the threat of death to him and family, including Tommy's pregnant sister. Seasons 1 & 2: Inspector Chester Campbell originally assigned to recover the stolen guns from the Peaky Blinders, first comes into contact with the gang when he has his men terrorize a community under its protection before beating up gang member Arthur Shelby.What's especially annoying is that Grace is the only character Tommy does this with, despite the fact he has lost his mother, his childhood sweetheart, two of his best friends and his younger brother, with John especially being a far more important character and one Tommy has known and loved for far longer, but he never dreams about any of them - we still don't even know what his mother looked like and Greta is only seen in a photograph. Utilizing a talented actress in an interesting way, or contrived Madonna stereotype, you be the judge. She's now become his idea of an angel of death, tempting him with how "easy and soft" death could be for him. Season five continues the schism, with Tommy unhappily married to Lizzie, but seeing Grace in his dreams and later, hallucinating her at times of suicidal ideation.Whether you think this is heartwrenching drama or a further shoehorning-in of an unnecessary character depends on how much you like Grace. Season three has reached a fever pitch, where Grace has not only gotten married to Tommy, but has been shot in a botched assassination attempt. Non-fans of the character were displeased at her having virtually nothing to contribute and being the catalyst for Tommy acting erratically and breaking up with interesting new character May Carleton (whom Grace fans call "annoying" and "terrible", following Annabelle Wallis's own hatred for May's character "coming between" Grace and Tommy, nevermind the fact Grace left Birmingham and got married in New York voluntarily). ![]() In season two, Grace fans were happy to see her back after running off to New York, and celebrated her hookup with Tommy and pregnancy. In season one, the fandom was divided over if she was a competent spy or not, and whether her falling in love with Tommy was romantic or contrived, especially given that Tommy inexplicably forgives a woman who sold him out to the cops, which Polly calls her out on. He has his mooks do his fighting for him and is dispatched by a single Boom, Headshot! from Tommy with no fanfare.
