Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

EssenceStory Well Deserved Praise

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

sholacole-43023 From the trailer on channel four to the actual Top Boy series showings - Top Boy is a brilliant drama series showing the London Street life. The shows had been nominated and won many TV entertainment awards and is one of those gripping dramas that if you have it on box set you want to keep watching. I got through the two series of Top Boy in eight hours. The acting was great by both the actors and those acting who are grime artists such as scorcher, Asher d and Kano. Top Boy should have come back for another series as its story line is excellent which not only shows the perspective of adults in London's gangs but also the children's perspective in organised crime.Top Boy is a cleverly, well written drama with good soundtracks and a good London drama

Joe Day Like The Wire, this shows purports to show us the real-life down and dirty live of London - again. How many depressing films must we see about the endless housing projects of London, Ireland, Scotland? Story after story on how Brits lie around on welfare while the kids run amuck; parents - any adult - is corruptible towards children too. Nary a decent role model in sight. And of course, these are predominately black people or some other "minority" who were are told (even though some obviously have decent families) that they are society's outcasts in need of a father figure which they get where - the gang!!!Spike Lee and countless others have told the story - the "new" and continuing "Boys n the Hood." It is all very sleazy. And the boys wear their trousers saggy but every effort is made to portray them as heterosexual. Even setting them up with hookers. What a laugh.The players make stupid mistake after stupid mistake in judgment. I caught this on NetFlix and made it to Season 2. The shark-jumping episode with DuShane and his lawyer made me shut off the set. It made absolutely no sense whatsoever. I do not even care what happened next. Just overall, a very depressing show.

mariesanti316 This series is everything you can possibly want, compelling, gripping, absorbing. If you enjoyed The Wire or The Shield, this is the show for you. I accidentally ran across it on Netflix and was captured instantly. I watched it back to back and then watched all 4 episodes again. Excellent. Its about time there is something different and unique to watch. Looking forward to Season 2. This is a solid piece of work. The theme is more than just hoodlums, drugs and violence, it received just a strong audience response because the acting is so precise you feel compassion and understanding. You begin to root for the bad guy and want the drug deal to be executed, and the villain becomes somehow good. This fantastic show reaches beyond just entertainment, it reaches your heart. A must see.

Andy Drama set in London about two friends and their gang trying to get rich the only way they know how; selling drugs. The cast is a mix of actors and grime artists such as Kano and Scorcher all of whom are from gang London so they know how the character should be therefore giving their characters true realism. The shows gives an inside look into London gang lifestyle on the estates of London and how kids become 'shotters' for the more notorious people on the estates. Each episode of Top Boy has a gripping storyline which keeps you wanting more; one millions viewers for a urban C4 show cannot be wrong. Not only is the acting good, but the soundtrack is phenomenal, showcasing a lot of London grime artists.
