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.

Sarah Hughes Independent (UK) Tightly written, entertaining and explosive: here's hoping for more of the same. May 15, 2019 Full Review Tom Birchenough The Arts Desk 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 May 15, 2019 Full Review Keith Watson metro.co.uk 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. May 15, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Regal R 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Danielle C Rewatched this season in preparation for the new one coming out next week. Forgotten how incredible this season was! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The whole series is amazing watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review ma'ark t Top Boy Season two is very short which works well. It builds the characters up really quickly. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
