Did the last series end with the young lad getting thrown off the tower block

Aye.

Not wanting to sound racist but the thing was too ‘black’ for me like in terms of language etc. Bit cringey.

Yes mate. Netflix have renamed the old ones as Top boy Summerhouse. The new one is called Top boy. You need to watch summerhouse first.

Is that a wind up, other way round isnt it

It was hard graft to understand what was being said in Jamaica. The London lingo was OK though.

Like a few on here I watched the first two series again to remind myself - and just finished the new (3rd) series, which was the best of the lot. Brilliant drama with some great twists and turns

 

[MackneyHackem]

One of the best series' I've ever seen.

I guessed that the two crackheads would end up being undercover coppers mind.

You're right ,it is/was .Not cringey but a bit odd Fam init .My brother (who is a racist) said "its been aimed at certain people" as if it was a keep the whiteys away conspiracy .All tv is aimed at someone to some extent .I'm canny with the London twang ,the Jamaican less so .

Just started Pine Gap on Netflix. That seems quite good.

Enjoyed Top Boy when it first came out. Heard about Drake's involvement and expected the worst for season 3. Pleasantly surprised.

A long long time ago, Asher D got embarrassed on a promotion night where he was meant to be the star:

 

[Fletch]

watched the first episode (series 1) last night , was canny, although needed to flick the subtitles on after ten mins

 

[king of the road]

Am i the only one who has to have subtitles on to watch this?

No, I do too. Don’t have to have them on but I think it improves the programme. I do it with most shows now. Started with The Wire as the slang in that was tough to follow.

The Jamaican patois is stronger than an ‘endon accent

Do subtitles rename the slang words for you?
