** Sully is quite polarising to fans. No-one disputes how complex of a character he is, and his portrayal by Kane Robinson is commonly lauded as the best performance of the series, particularly in the Netflix seasons. However his contrasting actions can paint him in a different light to different people. Some fans feel he is a NobleDemon particularly post-CharacterDevelopment, who's somewhat justified for some of his brutal actions as they aren't senseless and are shown to haunt him, particularly in series 4. Furthermore he is shown to have a moral code, particularly in how he values loyalty and whenever he [[ReasonYouSuckSpeech calls out]] [[OpportunisticBastard Dushane]] for being vain in the pursuit of power and money. Others feel he's simply a {{Jerkass}}, who's little more than a violent thug particularly due to him murdering several innocent characters such as Shaun Campbell(Kamale's cousin) and Leon. See AlternativeCharacterInterpretation above.
** Fans are even further torn by his murder of Jamie: some see it as necessary especially because of Sully's [[RevengeBeforeReason vendetta]] and ruthless personality, others feel it was unnecessary because it deviated from his redemptive arc. A lot of fans lost love for Sully simply due to the popularity of Jamie's character.

What's possibly the saddest part of his character, is that out of anything he could have in the world, all he wants to do is to watch a live [[UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball Arsenal]] game.

Instead, it's the result of racist thugs who set the house they're staying in on fire purely out of hate, which also has the DramaticIrony of being similar to how he told Sully his Mum died.

* DracoInLeatherPants: The main characters of the series are, ultimately, objectively horrible people. They are murderous gangsters who are rarely shown having empathy for the victims of their actions. No matter how "bad" their victims are, they're very rarely much worse than Dushane and the gang. Yet, by the audience, they manage to be seen as badass [[AntiHero Anti-Heroes]] due to occasionally showing the basic human ability of caring for other people. Obviously, the characters are more complex than this. But at their core, this is what they are.
