The Gentlemen

Season 1

Reveal Season 1 story spoilers

Tommy insists on a degrading performance from Freddy as part of the debt settlement. The confrontation ends when Freddy shoots him while wearing a cockerel costume. Eddie and Susie then have to conceal the killing and persuade Gospel John that Jethro is responsible. John’s eventual demand for revenge continues to threaten the family in the finale.[1][2][3]

Season 2

Reveal Season 2 story spoilers

Tommy is killed by Freddy in Season 1. This profile does not establish new Season 2 actions or survival.[2]

Personality

Reveal story spoilers

Tommy uses humiliation as well as money to exert control. The official guide identifies a vindictive streak, and his insistence on making Freddy perform gives that description a specific dramatic basis. His colourful clothes do not make him less dangerous.[1][2][3]

Physical Appearance

Tommy favours vibrantly coloured tracksuits. The official guide deliberately sets that bright, casual clothing against his vindictive conduct: the wardrobe is a recognizable part of his screen presentation, not evidence of a harmless temperament.[1]
