Top Boy

[Fletch]

found first couple episodes a bit slow but now halfway through the 3rd series and is much better

 

[Dave Herbal]

I didn’t watch it as it looked like it was about some black people being gangster

 

[MackneyHackem]

Halfway through the new series , preferred the original ones myself , seems to have gone a bit softer

Aye you need to watch them in order mate , you may need to stick the subtitles on

If you don't understand the slang words subtitles won't help.

Interesting. If it was about honourable white gangsters like the Krays would you have watched it?

Watch Gomorrah then if you only like white gangsters.

The Krays is a world away. I just find that whole black London gang culture repulsive (and yes I know there are also whites in them) and have no wish to watch something glamorising it.

Might do.

Not much glamourising in Top boy. It is grim as fuck.

Still, I bet there’s plenty people watched it and thought yeah I fancy some of that.

Same with any gangster stuff, the Sopranos, Good fellas, The Godfather etc. It's an interesting subject matter. If it wasn't there wouldn't be so many films and TV series based around it.

I've no idea what the characters being black has to do with anything though.

Nah that's different though mate. There's something about those characters that makes them alright. Can't quite put my finger on it like.

Ok, if it was about wiggas I would have said the same.

So white characters acting black, is that what you’re saying?

Any idea where that is shown - would like to watch?

 

[Ricci's Special Kebabs]

Sky Atlantic/Now TV - If you can put up with subtitles it's bloody brilliant.

Broadcast on skyatlantic but don't know if it is available on demand. I've bought the blu rays because I don't have sky.
