It is violent, with some intense scenes that can stick with you, even episodes after watching. Still, Top Boy is a distinct example of when great writing meets great acting; overlook it at your own peril.

It’s a storming series, which manages to take on serious issues – mental health, domestic abuse, homophobia, child neglect – without ever becoming po-faced or worthy. The script is full of heart and humour. If you binge-watch the eight episodes (as many fans will surely do), you’ll feel spat out, exhausted, thrilled.

Like these forceful, resourceful anti-heroes, the show always comes out on top. And it’s not about to move from that spot any time soon.

Mar 8, 2022
It's a show now unapologetically made for its loyal fanbase and they'll find much to enjoy in this latest chapter, which succeeds in building on 2019's launch to deliver the show's most blockbuster season yet, without sacrificing the heart and the grit which made the series sing when it first premiered more than a decade ago.
