Top Boy

The gritty drama starring Ashley Walters is returning for another season.

When watching Top Boy on Netflix, it is essential to remember that the first two series of the show are actually listed as Top Boy: Summerhouse, series one and two. Netflix is the perfect platform for this show, there aren't many networks who would be brave enough to keep it this real." "It explores how these characters came to make the choices they make, and gives the audience a behind-the-scenes look as to what is happening on our streets today.

When we last saw our drug lords of East London, Jamie (Micheal Ward) had been framed for possession of a firearm and was facing 10-15 years behind bars. A ...

He cares for her and in her death is moved to instigate a change in the Summerhouse deal to ensure all existing residents are offered a home after the redevelopment. It's not an easy decision for Jamie to make but when his brothers refuse to go on the run with him he feels he has no choice. Ats' body turns up in the trash and both Dushane and a forgiving Jamie are looking for answers. Curtis eventually finds her and after giving Jaq's "I'm disappointed in you" speech, Dushane agrees to help on the understanding that he won't keep it secret from Sully. The police are also on a mission to uncover his dirty dealings and have arrested Rueben (Theo Ogundipe). Their threats of a lengthy jail sentence almost persuade him to talk but Dushane reminds him of the cost to his family for snitching and he quickly shuts up. Living in exile was meant to be her punishment, but it seems that was only the beginning. Great for the family, not so great for Dushane, who now has to make nice with law enforcement Juan El Bueno. The same Juan who has a nasty habit of intercepting his drug shipments in Morocco. He makes light work of getting the drugs back from Pebble's ex but trying to return them is not so smooth. Sully, on the other hand, is desperate to live the quiet life. With the Jamie matter put to bed as far as he is concerned, Dushane moves on to more pressing matters. So who does he send to grease palms and get the drugs moving? He gets the tip off that investing in Summerhouse estates' redevelopment is the ideal way to scrub all that dirty money clean again.

The latest season of Netflix's London-set crime drama sets up a potentially explosive fifth outing.

This seems certain to be explored more if Top Boy returns – and we can't imagine Sully's actions will have done wonders for Dushane's stress levels... Is studious Aaron, who always resisted being dragged into Jamie's criminal style, now doomed to follow in his brother's footsteps? Kadeem Ramsay won't be returning as Kit either, with Jamie having executed his treacherous no. Will Stef want revenge?
