Anybody else think that the season 6 and the movie all just ruin everyhting tommy worked hard for
I understand the context behind how the original writer passed away, but Tommy spent his entire life building his family from the ground up and working unbelievably hard. Then Lizzie leaves him, Polly dies, Michael turns against him, and somehow Arthur gets killed while Ada dies too. Then some completely new son is introduced to take over, Linda leaves Arthur and then comes back, Tommy goes to see Esme, and Esme’s character — who originally had a strong moral high ground — gets dragged through the dirt by turning her into a gold-craving gypsy. On top of all that, Tommy’s daughter dies.
It’s just a lot that happens, and it feels like it goes against what the original show was meant to be about. Even if Tommy died from tuberculoma, having his family there to mourn him and showing that his sacrifice actually meant something with a '10 years later' update on the family would’ve been a much better ending, in my opinion even though it is cliche...
What do you think?
