letaiser T @RT88401244 Jul 26 Sadly the Season ends with the shortest Season yet with only 6 episodes (not including summerhouse) and the story behind season 5 isn't that great, there is just to much going on in some scenes and there are some characters that just get thrown away from the story, so the season didn't made a good first impression so far, until we got to the last 3 episodes. Especially the last two episodes were absolutely thrilling, heartbreaking and especially shocking, so with that I think that top boy ended on a good note, overall a very shocking and fair ending for an extremely good show.

It does not glorify the lifestyle in any way. It does show the desperate levels those on the margins will go to to be Top Boy See more Ma'ark T @RT57514104 01/18/2024 Top Boy goes out with a bang. One of the best crime series. It was believable escapism. Ashley Walters and Kano have been superb throughout. See more Philip @RT07632301 10/28/2023 Still a reasonably enjoyable show, but not quite up the the thrills of prior seasons. The swings from protagonists to overtly narcissistic sociopaths were jilted. Likewise some swings in the opposite direction seemed forced and occured over a short period of time. I would expect drug dealers are comfortable with the concept of death via misadventure and would generally blame user error for drug related deaths, not themselves. The theme of "police bad" was also ramped up this season which was somewhat cringeworthy See more David H @DavidHHH 10/06/2023 Yes. A very fitting final season to a brilliant show. When you start to think it's getting just too bleak and gritty, it redeems itself with a perceptive dose of humanity. But you didn't really expect any happy-ever-afters did you? Of couse not. See more Chad G @RT72575742 10/02/2023 This has to be the best set of series I've ever seen. Having lived close to that kind of lifestyle, I found myself on a rollercoaster of emotions. It's gripping, high speed pace carries the observer through a multitude of current, social issues. Sexual orientation, drugs, grief, love, poverty and teenage life. Plus much more. It's as close to real life as it gets. Season 5 is just as good as the other four seasons. A close up slice of suburban black culture in London. This is what makes it one hundred percent, original and untouchable. The soundtrack also showcases some of the best, British, up and coming artists. Writer Ronan Bennett has certainly done his homework. Someone had to write this story and apparently, Mr Bennett has hit the target. As an aspiring creative writer myself, it has been inspirational. I hope Top Boy continues alongside the ever changing street life of our amazing city, London. Cheers Ronan, all the best 🙏🏽 See more Read all reviews
