Top Boy

Top Boy is a gripping British television crime drama created by Ronan Bennett, set in the fictional Summerhouse estate in Hackney, London. The story revolves around two drug dealers, Dushane (played by Ashley Walters) and Sully (played by Kane Robinson), as they navigate the intricacies of the city’s drug trade and gang violence.

The series was divided into five seasons, totaling 32 episodes, with the first two seasons airing on Channel 4. Despite plans for a third season, Channel 4 pulled the plug on the series in 2014. However, in 2017, the series was revived after Canadian rapper Drake expressed interest. Netflix took over the revival of the series, with Walters, Robinson and the original cast returning.

The third and fourth seasons premiered on Netflix in 2019 and 2022 respectively, while the first two Channel 4 series were later added to Netflix under the name Top Boy: Summerhouse. Top Boy has received critical acclaim, being praised for its engaging script, outstanding performances, cinematography, realistic portrayals, and powerful soundtrack.

Top Boy received multiple awards and nominations at the British Academy of Television Arts Awards, where it was compared to more established crime dramas such as The Wire, Snow White and Power, and was widely praised for Best Original Music, Best Director – Fiction and Best Casting in a Screenplay. The fifth and final season of the series was renewed in March 2022 by Netflix, and will air in September 2023.
