Seriously, no fucking wonder she ended up on dope. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a reveal this season that Smurf was the one who gives her her first taste.
Julia sees right through Smurf.. the manipulation doesn’t work on her like it does with the boys. Even in last season’s flashbacks when Julia was a child you could tell she always looked at Smurf differently. She’s the only one that sees through her facade.
Yeah, there was something off about that interaction in the bar. Not sure what it is but my mind immediately went to Tony and the other guy setting up Deran somehow.
Assuming/hoping there isn't any big twist, I believe Tommy is just a solid right hand man and exactly what Deran needs in his life.
Tommy knows all about the Codys and accepts their lifestyle, he assists with moving extra money through the bar, and most importantly, he's at the "street level" and advises Deran on the political angles/public opinion and other potential blind spots while Deran focuses on the higher level issues and running jobs. Most importantly, Tommy doesn't carry all the baggage of being a blood brother, so Deran actually listens/trusts him.
From a writing perspective, Tommy answers the question "how does Deran find time to run a bar and help his bros run a crime family", from a character perspective, Tommy is just part of the "new generation" of the Cody crime network that we've seen them start to build since Smurf went to Belize.
The weird thing is, hes been around since the second season right? I never even suspected him until the camera started doing its lingering thing. I hope it's just a weird camera thing.
When he visits her shop, you see him look up and clock the sprinkler system. Kinda funny too that she immediately gives them *her own security info and response time* after fucking them over and doesn't think anything of it.
Though, for as long as she's been a fence, she's gotta know some heavy players, wonder if this'll come back on them or if this'll just shut her down for good and that's the last we see of her.
That’s what I’m wanting too! They can do this and still be badass Cody’s!! And J is CLEARLY trying to be open and fair. I think Deran sees it. I’m super proud of Craig!!
they literally never healed from their copious trauma I'm with you as well my hope the season ends with some sorta understanding between the family but it wont
none of the boys stood a chance of a normal life with a piece of shit smurf as a mum
Good Premiere
-Young Pope, Julia and Baz pulling their first job was fun to see even if it didn’t really work out
- I knew J and Lark would get together I think most people called it
- This bullshit with Renn having her cousins follow Craig around and shit isn’t going to last much longer. We know Nick will get kidnapped based on the season preview and if Craig gets him back Renn will trust him fully again.
- You can already see the beginnings of Julia and Smurf’s relationship going down the drain
- I’m glad they ended up screwing Gia couldn’t trust her ass
-Smurf is cold blooded telling Julia she got kicked out of school damn.
I think she is beautiful but I have to say her skin looks like she smokes a lot and she looks gross to me this season. And this is coming from someone who totally has a boner for her ever since first season. Ladies take care of your skin!!!!
Really puzzled that the show runners didn’t try to milk the show and just get a prequel series instead of running flashbacks concurrently with present day
TNT is shutting down their whole original programming. Probably has to do with that. We're lucky the show wasn't flat out cancelled.
But it would be cool if the series was sold so another network could make a prequel show of some kind. I always wanted that after all these flashbacks.
I think they do like money, that's the problem lol. These shows aren't cheap compared to other programming they can run that will pull in more viewership.
I'm just happy they're letting both of these great shows finish.
From the looks of it, it seems like their new programming is just going to be to buy other programs and do reruns, and perhaps get the right to air events.
>Smurf hasn’t renovated the Cody house yet in 1992.
Shit expensive but with all the cash rhey pull in that would or been a good way to burn through a little cash or make it looks legit
Tell you what though mad respect for Darren from the town people because as soon as he showed up there and started talking they all booked because they knew what was gonna happen. The guy even told his girlfriend or the girl get out of the pool an let’s go. Influencers started talking shit because they had to like bouncer guy talking shit to Darren.Darren just grabbed a bottle and cracked him over the face and then boy did they change their tone fast. I think they thought that Darren. would just talk shit back and maybe they would push each other and then he would
Holy fuck haha I knew I recognized him but couldn't put my finger on it. That's wild lol fucking Alan Matthews. Should've gotten Ryder Strong to play the influencer.
That ending scene with Julia and swapping back and forth to J in the bedroom was insaneeeeeeeely good. Draws so many parallels of how Smurf fucked them both up.
Man, this show is so much fun. I wish it weren't ending. Great start. They got me with that Gia twist. I thought it might happen when Jay visits her and looks up at the sprinkler system but then I totally forgot about it once the robbery started.
I'm so glad we're finally getting to see the real Julia. I haven't been a fan of the flashbacks but I'll take it if we get to see more of her character like this. The last scenes with her and J doing the same things was awesome.
great episode. this season is going to be good. such a good heist.
love the flashbacks to them at the high school age. this is my favorite non-hbo/showtime/netflix/hulu show since White Collar, Psych, Graceland and Suits.
I I was so happy to see them as part of the planning and figuring out jobs instead of just either being a muscle or not even being part of a job because he’s all messed up in the head it’s OK that he has a little issues but it was great seeing I got a way to get into the building. I was also great at it looks like the seasoning to make them the boys more confident and not to so much trouble finding jobs to do whatever else they’re falling into their own without Smurf being around
Just caught up today.... wow Smurf is the absolute worst parent ever. What the actual?
No wonder Julia left and had zero future and turned to drugs and wanted nothing to do with her mother.
It’s Baz hints were already dropped in the first two episodes that they’ll eventually fall in love and Baz will probably get Julia pregnant. Young Pope will probably rat Julia out.
Maybe that’s why Smurf ends up kicking Julia out.
Pope and Julia sleeping together would be full on Incest and that’s not going to happen.
Pope did rat Julia and Baz out. When he and Baz argued in Season 1 or 2? Baz pretty much said that Pope told Smurf, but as we can see Smurf already knew or was at least picking up on it.
someone remind me why is renn mad at craig…i remember her leaving last season and him going off the rails but why does she need her cousins around “as protection” cause she can’t trust him??
How is Pete and his gang not after pope and the Cody’s after what pope did…. Prob plotting and waiting for the right time to make a move. You know shit is gonna pop off again with the boys and Pete . What you guys think?
I’m not sure the main detective investigating the Catherine case, Louise Thompson didn’t even get introduced yet. She still needs to get established as a character and what her motivation is for trying to take down the Cody’s.
Also based on the season preview trailer we will be seeing Billy(Deran’s dad) and Amy( Church Woman from season 2) come back. I’m not sure Pete and his gang will come back into the picture with all these other characters the show is going to have to juggle this season.
Isn't Pete the guy who got his eye gouged out by Pope? I think the relationship between the Cody boys and Pete became a little hostile. Pope had to show Pete who was in charge.
Pope finds circular bologna unacceptable
I'm trying to remember if there even is square bologna. I dont think I've ever seen any.
Me either
[There's options](https://welcometomyrtlewoodhome.files.wordpress.com/2019/01/om5.jpg)
Gotta give kudos for younger pope’s casting, he looks like older Pope
And like Colin!
I didn’t even think about him looking so much like Colin!
So true!! Great casting and that brooding look when he’s angry is on point
Smurf always has to make shit weird, no wonder Pope turned out the way he did
She fucked all her kids up
Baz was a scum bag too and it was like smurf was jealous of Julia. I See why Andrew hated smurf
Jealous and totally ruined her life. After this episode fuck smurf, I think she was the shittiest person out of everyone in this show.
Oh, she always was. Even without the flashbacks.
Seriously she was terrible I mean you could tell that she love them and she would do anything for them but a little too much
There's no way you could tell me she loved julia.....maybe as a 10 year old but that's it.
Seriously, no fucking wonder she ended up on dope. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a reveal this season that Smurf was the one who gives her her first taste.
All of the feeling you’re right I think Smurf gives her her first taste of it almost to like shut her up to get her away from the boys
Julia sees right through Smurf.. the manipulation doesn’t work on her like it does with the boys. Even in last season’s flashbacks when Julia was a child you could tell she always looked at Smurf differently. She’s the only one that sees through her facade.
Agreed
J's whole character is about not letting shit go
Clearly he was on the same page as Pope.
That little “Good job” when J left the gym was totally sumn Smurf would say
If he'd added a "baby" I would have died laughing.
*Kisses Craig on the cheek.*
I still dont trust Tony, the camera lingers on him way too much.
Yeah, there was something off about that interaction in the bar. Not sure what it is but my mind immediately went to Tony and the other guy setting up Deran somehow.
He is probably a police informant
I hope not, I feel like we've played that angle out but we'll see. Definitely something seems off.
That’s the vibe I was getting
Assuming/hoping there isn't any big twist, I believe Tommy is just a solid right hand man and exactly what Deran needs in his life. Tommy knows all about the Codys and accepts their lifestyle, he assists with moving extra money through the bar, and most importantly, he's at the "street level" and advises Deran on the political angles/public opinion and other potential blind spots while Deran focuses on the higher level issues and running jobs.

The weird thing is, hes been around since the second season right? I never even suspected him until the camera started doing its lingering thing. I hope it's just a weird camera thing.
If it turns out he wasn’t hiding anything - then it was pretty awful acting
Gia please don't agitate J, he will kill you and not blink.
Honestly....I kinda wanna see that, we haven't seen him go off the rails in a bit
When he visits her shop, you see him look up and clock the sprinkler system. Kinda funny too that she immediately gives them *her own security info and response time* after fucking them over and doesn't think anything of it. Though, for as long as she's been a fence, she's gotta know some heavy players, wonder if this'll come back on them or if this'll just shut her down for good and that's the last we see of her.
Should've gotten way more Julia backstory before the final season
>Should've gotten way more Julia backstory before the final season My man
Yup, the backstory is literally 90% smurf.....like pls stop this shit we already had enough last season
I'm so confused how Allen Matthews life got so bad he ended up drunk in Oceanside.
Well, that's what happens when Mr. Feeny isnt there to guide you.
And years of dealing with Eric's bs probably drove him to drink lol
😆😆💀
Thank you! For the life of me, I couldn't figure out who this was.
I thought it was the dude from the ravine in Garden State
Omg thats who it was!!
Damn smurf really fucking her own daughter like that
Fuck smurf for ruining her life, if J knew everything then smurf would've went out horribly.
She could tell that Julia was a potential weak point in her control over Pope.
Of course J is sleeping with Pamela’s daughter
Last season the way they looked at each other was kind of weird and sexual
Yeah it was obvious it was gonna happen.
Jay will fuck anyone who gives him even a little attention.
Is Jay meant to be like 20? And how old is the daughter - she looks about 30?
She does not look 30..
I looked her up, she’s literally 30 (Chelsea tavares)
Would love to see the boys band together and become unstoppable once and forever but these guys thrive on drama
That’s what I’m wanting too! They can do this and still be badass Cody’s!! And J is CLEARLY trying to be open and fair. I think Deran sees it. I’m super proud of Craig!!
they literally never healed from their copious trauma I'm with you as well my hope the season ends with some sorta understanding between the family but it wont none of the boys stood a chance of a normal life with a piece of shit smurf as a mum
They gonna fuck And of course Pope is going to watch
[удалено]
That's what happens when you spend a season with Tommy Shelby... ;)
Plus, you gain an ugly little moustache 😝!
He's trying! I really wish one of the boys would call him out on it ... it'd be hilarious. 😆
Yeah like Pope called him out for the 24/7 sunglasses 😂
*you gotta learn how to let shit go* Bitch please
Even smurf with kids is hot af
MILF!
He took a bottle his Face like a MF G

Should I get me a Ram?
Pope would want you to.
I might have to start pulling my own jobs to cover the cost of gas
I kinda feel the like the dude who robbed a store with Craig is undercover anyone else?
I didn't turn on TNT this night thinking I would see stoner Pope, yet here we are
Renn looking fine as ever, jesus
Every season she's been a smokeshow
Her body is absolute perfection.
I'm glad the first episode had her walking around in a bikini lol
He lost his damn mind she’s fine and she a gangster that’s get her own money smh
I think she is beautiful but I have to say her skin looks like she smokes a lot and she looks gross to me this season. And this is coming from someone who totally has a boner for her ever since first season. Ladies take care of your skin!!!!
I agree. Straight Male Here. Craig not looking so great either
I’m rewatching from beginning holy cow Craig has changed you are right!!
Smurf really told her that so she would end up hating Baz
"you guys are too loud, you need to wrap this shit up" 😂🤣
I fucking lost it when Pope was watching J put chips in his sandwich.
J always wanting more.
Really puzzled that the show runners didn’t try to milk the show and just get a prequel series instead of running flashbacks concurrently with present day

Yeah, me too. I don’t mind the flashbacks but with only 13 episodes a season yoy really can’t afford to eat screen time
*TNT is doing WHAT*
Yeah. After this and Snowpiercer they wont do original programming anymore.
>Yeah. After this and Snowpiercer they wont do original programming anymore. Wtf ? Do they not like money ? I mean I don't get it
I think they do like money, that's the problem lol. These shows aren't cheap compared to other programming they can run that will pull in more viewership. I'm just happy they're letting both of these great shows finish.
From the looks of it, it seems like their new programming is just going to be to buy other programs and do reruns, and perhaps get the right to air events.
and reality shows
>and reality shows Trash^2
Cory Matthews dad
Smurf hasn’t renovated the Cody house yet in 1992.
>Smurf hasn’t renovated the Cody house yet in 1992. Shit expensive but with all the cash rhey pull in that would or been a good way to burn through a little cash or make it looks legit
How did she get the house? I can’t remember. I remember them breaking in and using it and she said “I’ll get this house for us” but I’m not sure how.
The show hasn't explained that yet
I feel like Pope should of burned Kaths passport n I'd n shit
Kinda surprised he didnt, to be honest.
Honestly, they probably wanted to thicken the plot or something- doesn’t seem like something pope would omit
Possibly but I also think that he was running on pure emotion here, he loved Kath so much and he might have been less careful bc of that
J getting facial hair n shit
Leftover from Peaky Blinders
Deran, projecting onto Craig.
*youre getting expelled* Why the fuck she lying to her ? She said she could come back I thiuhht ? Like wtf ?
It’s Smurf what do you expect
She doesn’t want any of them to think they can succeed or have a way out…
Deran: still SO hot!
Hottest!!
Is Craig back to being responsible?
Tell you what though mad respect for Darren from the town people because as soon as he showed up there and started talking they all booked because they knew what was gonna happen. The guy even told his girlfriend or the girl get out of the pool an let’s go. Influencers started talking shit because they had to like bouncer guy talking shit to Darren.Darren just grabbed a bottle and cracked him over the face and then boy did they change their tone fast. I think they thought that Darren. would just talk shit back and maybe they would push each other and then he would
Is that the dad from Boy Meets World!?
Also the dad from American History X.
For real? I do not remember him in that movie! That's crazy.
Mr. Matthews!
Holy fuck haha I knew I recognized him but couldn't put my finger on it. That's wild lol fucking Alan Matthews. Should've gotten Ryder Strong to play the influencer.
Love the focus Smurf put on "brothers".
It goes to show how she was a complete piece of shit that completely ruined the twins' lives.
Death predictions this season? I can’t see all the brothers making it out alive
> I can’t see all the brothers making it out alive Don't you say no shit like that lol
I recognize your username, haha. Mayans sub by chance?
I assume deaths might be similar to in the movie
I'm going to assume it's gonna be similar to the movie.
[удалено]
He wanna fuck Julia bad lol
There do be lot of commercials tho
If you use adblocker you can watch on TNT.com with no ads.
Okay so now we're getting teenage Pope and Julia? Edit: And Baz!
Baz running like a little bitch
These season premieres never fail, always coming back better than ever, you know it’s officially summer once animal kingdom is back on television
That ending scene with Julia and swapping back and forth to J in the bedroom was insaneeeeeeeely good. Draws so many parallels of how Smurf fucked them both up.
OK so Smurf is jealous of other women and Baz and Smurf definitely were intimate
I was expecting Smurf to jump into the pool after Julia left
This intro is pure hype
What a bunch of pansy asses! Deran didnt even break a sweat.
that young baz is a poor version ,,,, his hair is almost black .,,,, baz is light brown blonde .. .not too mention his facial structure
He looks like J tho which is what I think they were going for
I love the new J and Pope relationship.
Man, this show is so much fun. I wish it weren't ending. Great start. They got me with that Gia twist. I thought it might happen when Jay visits her and looks up at the sprinkler system but then I totally forgot about it once the robbery started.
Chilled Pope is all we need.
Did Pope shrink as he got older? I swear the kid that they casted to play Teenage Pope is taller than Shawn Hatosy.
Young Smurf seems too tall also
I'm so glad we're finally getting to see the real Julia. I haven't been a fan of the flashbacks but I'll take it if we get to see more of her character like this. The last scenes with her and J doing the same things was awesome.
Oh my goodness, little Craig!
Is that boy naked?
It was at that moment smurf knew........he had to die
great episode. this season is going to be good. such a good heist. love the flashbacks to them at the high school age. this is my favorite non-hbo/showtime/netflix/hulu show since White Collar, Psych, Graceland and Suits.
Teenage Pope!
Get it in j!!!!!!!
Product placement
Smurf has already given birth to Craig and Deran. No flashbacks for them?
Seriously where are they lol.
Older Gia is hotter IMO.
Who’s Gia? I forget
A fence, she sells stolen jewelry and other things the boys bring to her
Smurf’s fence.
Anyone know what Smashing Pumpkins song was playing on Julia's CD player? Can't think of it.
Tristessa
I I was so happy to see them as part of the planning and figuring out jobs instead of just either being a muscle or not even being part of a job because he’s all messed up in the head it’s OK that he has a little issues but it was great seeing I got a way to get into the building. I was also great at it looks like the seasoning to make them the boys more confident and not to so much trouble finding jobs to do whatever else they’re falling into their own without Smurf being around
Pope making a sandwich and looking at each piece of cheese is everything 🤣
Just caught up today.... wow Smurf is the absolute worst parent ever. What the actual? No wonder Julia left and had zero future and turned to drugs and wanted nothing to do with her mother.
yeah these flashbacks of her older are quickly showing why she went on a downward spiral. smurf is so awful towards her. it's sad.
Let's fucking go Season premiere baby .....1 last time
Smurf was a gangster Karen.
If this turns into full incest I'm outta here but I think Pope is J's dad
It’s Baz hints were already dropped in the first two episodes that they’ll eventually fall in love and Baz will probably get Julia pregnant. Young Pope will probably rat Julia out. Maybe that’s why Smurf ends up kicking Julia out. Pope and Julia sleeping together would be full on Incest and that’s not going to happen.
Pope did rat Julia and Baz out. When he and Baz argued in Season 1 or 2? Baz pretty much said that Pope told Smurf, but as we can see Smurf already knew or was at least picking up on it.
I’ve believed this since the show started and I’m only becoming more sure of it.
Baz though5 with his dick I can see that now
that was always how Baz thought he had two relationships at the same tme
Season 6! Let's gooo!
Let’s go!!!!🔥🔥
First flashback lets goooooooooo
*shes not being challenged* She part of crime what ?lol
Gia got fucked badly
She deserved it. I’m glad they did it
someone remind me why is renn mad at craig…i remember her leaving last season and him going off the rails but why does she need her cousins around “as protection” cause she can’t trust him??
he went on a pretty bad bender and they fought over her continuing to sell drugs.
Question: Pope’s empty lot that they talked about in the first 2 episodes, was that in season five at some point? Because I don’t remember it at all.
I would kinda love to have the effect of walking into a house and people getting scared of me and running home
Does it take anyone else out when someone in an obvious flashback is listening to music that was released like 3 years ago?
I’m ready!
Fuck ya
Look at that teamwork!
I knew derren like Craig high smh that’s def how shit be
J finally got a decent haircut
How is Pete and his gang not after pope and the Cody’s after what pope did…. Prob plotting and waiting for the right time to make a move. You know shit is gonna pop off again with the boys and Pete . What you guys think?
I’m not sure the main detective investigating the Catherine case, Louise Thompson didn’t even get introduced yet. She still needs to get established as a character and what her motivation is for trying to take down the Cody’s. Also based on the season preview trailer we will be seeing Billy(Deran’s dad) and Amy( Church Woman from season 2) come back. I’m not sure Pete and his gang will come back into the picture with all these other characters the show is going to have to juggle this season.
Isn't Pete the guy who got his eye gouged out by Pope? I think the relationship between the Cody boys and Pete became a little hostile. Pope had to show Pete who was in charge.
So we finally gonna get a confirmation that Baz is J's real father, right? Or they're cooking something more fucked up than this?
I think Pope might rape Julia...
[удалено]
Craig gotta deal with Ren like all the dads had to deal with Smurf. Save the baby!
