TOP BOY - Underrated Netflix Drama
I am a big sucker for crime and drama television, especially when it is a true life story. It feels like a dive into reality; people's reality. I have not had the luxury of seeing my favorite TV shows for a while. Work has not given me that luxury, and it seems more and more pointless to retain my Netflix account. Still, I managed to make out time to see the whole of season one of Top Boy, and Wow. I had earlier watched a movie on it a few months ago, and even reviewed, so when I saw a series, I was much interested.
ABOUT
The show is about two friends who run a drug empire on the streets of London. They rise up to the top and then fell off bad. One of them went to jail, while the other disappeared to Jamaica with nothing. Eventually, the one in prison was released and the other came back to London from Jamaica because he was owing a drug lord. Then up again they rose, resurrecting the drug empire, but this time another young man stood in there way.
It is a series so I don't think I can give too much spoilers, lol. The show aired in local Tv some time ago, but was halted for some reason. Drake was a big fan of the show, so he bought rights for the show to continue. I have seen season one on Netflix, and I can't wait to get into the second. There is always lessons to take from these type of shows, its why I enjoy them. One of the episodes was titled "we all got family". That is a hard hitting truth, because it reminds you that whatever you get into, could also affect your family. In the show, it was typical for the "shooters" (drug sellers) to try to get back at each other, and the family of their enemy was an easy target. That really made me wonder, Is there a gain in a life of crime? It felt like an endless rollercoaster. Back and forth, never ending fight. One time, one of the lads said, "We have always gone to war, and we have always won, but what if it is our time to lose"?
STREAM OR SKIP
With all the high praises I have been giving the show, it is an easy stream. The drama, is explosive, the emotional turbulence is one to leave you glued to your screen. In a time where Netflix is full of crap, this show is a beacon of light. I know that is a lot of praise, but trust me, it checks every box for its genre. The acting, the drama, the story, everything was stellar. The show also pointed out some underlying political issues in a subtle way, brilliant. A real action packed thriller. I would rate this a nine out of ten. For sure this type of thing is subjective, but generally speaking, I do believe this was a well done TV show.

Greetings brother, good that you found a well done program and that you like it, I like the idea that Drake revived this series, what a great power artists have, now I'm watching games of thrones and everything that has to do with empires attracts my attention, I hope to see this series very soon, thank you very much for this post.
You're welcome my mate. Game of thrones is a top work.
I am also watching house of the dragons now

You're welcome @stevenson7. Looking forward to you reaching your new target 😉👍
How crazy that Drake bought the rights, but very good, because that's how this program continued. The truth sounds interesting, to see how they enter this world, all that they must go through and watch it, it leaves great messages and reflections. It was recommended to me a while back, but I didn't know what it was about, I will have to take some time, although also work, many times reduces it for me.
Greetings.
Greetings brother. It truly is a nice movie. It has been highly rated in Netflix for a while now
Very well, these movies that deal with drugs or violence, I do tell people that they are mostly what happens in real life. The family is usually an easy target for enemies except it was defined in their dealings. Like in the movie/book "The Godfather", there was an unwritten rule to never include women and children.. 🚶♀️
I think I might give it a watch but most likely when it is downloadable offline. Wait, you mentioned something about you not being able to watch your Netflix, @stevenson7, what am I here for? I can help with that, really.😁
This guy 🤣🤣🤣
I've never heard of the Godfather rules. Interesting to know that there's something like that.
Alas, I've reached max people to give passwords to 😝😝
I guess I made it seems like it is called "Godfather rules". Nah. It is just that they have that rule. By the way, it was the title of a book really. And then made into a movie.
Ehn, just commot one person and add me naw, my Lord..🙇♂️
This guy🤣🤣
My Lord, if I may...🙇♂️
