Top Boy is a well written, well acted British crime drama that is a must watch for any fan of this kind of genre. People calls shows underrated all the time but this is definitely underrated. It's one of those shows where once you start watching it you can't stop. The cast does such an excellent job sucking you into their world. The acting and writing is just so good that they really make you care about their characters and what happens to them. Each character has depth and this show shows that each of their actions have huge consequences. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that the seasons are so incredibly short. I really can't recommend this show enough!
I've largely avoided this series because I thought it would be bad story bad acting with posh drama school teens as gangsters n hood rats. I was wrong ... It's a great story very well crafted n filmed. The acting is very good too. So I came late to the party... But at least I'm here now.
Oh my god Netflix have gone and done it. They have made a great series even better. I think this new revival is even better than the original made by channel 4. Hopefully they commission another series.
I highly recommend Top Boy for any fan of gritty, intense dramas! I didn't watch it until recently because of everything I heard about it and I'm so glad I finally gave it a chance and that Netflix made the incredible choice of bringing it back because it's as good as ever!
A very raw gritty look into the darker side of London's ghettos & the reality of everyday life done flawlessly in this 3 part series from composition to the cast it's a masterclass and definatley Top of its game.. a solid 10/10

- TriviaWhen the third season of Top Boy was released on Netflix in 2019, it was released as "Season 1" to attract viewers, and the first two seasons from 2011 and 2013 were retroactively retitled "Top Boy: Summerhouse" to differentiate between the two.
- Crazy creditsIn the first two seasons, the show's intro consists of a camera pan, showing a variety of buildings in London. Starting with season three, only the show's name is shown.
