This drama takes viewers into the housing estates of East London. There is tension between the drug gangs that operate almost openly and those who strive to live honest lives against the odds in the crime-riddled area. That tension is explored through the interlocking stories of 20-something drug dealer Dushane, who is determined to become the area's Top Boy, and good-natured but vulnerable teenager Ra'Nell, who is forced to grow up quickly following his mother's breakdown and enforced absence. The program combines elements of a tense gangster thriller with subtle social realism, some tenderness, innocence and humor.

Tightly written, entertaining and explosive: here's hoping for more of the same. Go to Full Review

From the opening...to an immaculate score from Brian Eno, mixing London grime sounds with his own sense of the alienated indifference of the streets, this has been television drama at its outstanding best Go to Full Review

But the end to what had been another bleakly absorbing run of Top Boy (C4) left me reeling. Did that really happen? I had to hit reverse and watch it again. Go to Full Review

letaiser Jul 13 Great Season, not as good as the first one but still some impulsive action, my problem with this season though is that there is a to big unexplained gab between this season and the first one, especially with the new characters and most of them aren't that good written but apart from that this is a pretty good season and so far top bay absolutely delivers a great watch time. See more Regal R 09/24/2023 35/100 - got worse, unbelievable story got even less believable. characters change frequently to fit a poorly written story. you can tell its all forced to keep the show going. lack of originality. should be renamed "people crying about the consequences of their actions". went from a bad gangster show to a worse drama. See more 12/18/2019 The whole series is amazing watch. See more ma'ark t 11/23/2019 Top Boy Season two is very short which works well. It builds the characters up really quickly. See more 09/26/2019 Season 2 picks up right where season 1 left off and it is just as great. This is a show that doesn't get the attention it deserves. See more Read all reviews
