Can’t wait for tomorrow, been looking forward to a continuation of top boy for the last couple of years. So glad Netflix picked it up, couldn’t believe it was just left so unfinished.

Brilliant, the first series was really good.

Since these two characters met on screen, this relationship has grappled with a part of me that I did not know was there. I find It endearing when they are on screen together.

Do you have to watch the first two seasons made by channel 4 or would you be able to jump straight into the new Netflix series ?

Saw the trailer for this on netflix and it looks excellent

Personally Top Boy s1&2 is well worth the watch and i would recommend watching both before the series. If you just watched the s3 i feel you'd be missing out due to be being left scratching your head for most of it

Finished this last night. Thoroughly enjoyed the new season. Was not expecting that ending. Show keeps me on edge all the time, I love it.

Top class show and set up nicely for season 4. Don't know if there is any info on release dates etc but all three seasons so far are worth a watch but you really need to watch the first 2 seasons.

D'Agger

Delighted this came back and even happier that it continued where it left off - gripping season, excellent new characters, great storylines for the old characters. Potential controversial opinion here but I loved Driz's story in particular.

Great watch, will go back and re-watch S1 & S2 now as well, probably should've done it prior to this coming out but got too excited and dived right in

Just watching this now (not knowing there was two other seasons!) Very good with obvious nods to the Wire.

freak scence

very enjoyable

ixoy

Really enjoyed this - the quality kept up and the new cast, particularly Jamie, added a lot. Poor Ats!
It took me a while to get the lingo out of my head too, especially when somebody asked me where they could get good food...

As to that scene at the very end:

when the "junkies" were revealed to be undercover cops. I really liked that and hadn't expected it. It explained a previous scene when they were wandering around, pouring out some drink and acting soberly which had thrown me off. It also neatly sets up a fourth season.

Just finished season 3 and I thought it was great ,
Its a terrific programme ,
I thought this season Kano who plays Sully was amazing you could really feel he was man struggling with some demons,
Also Jac was a brilliant addition Jasmine Jobson done a great job with her,

ricero

I enjoyed season 1 and 2 but season 3 was just bloody fantastic stuff from start to finish. Great stuff and incredible acting all round.

Agent Coulson

Netflix season 2 drops March 18th.

Looks top class.

This has been a great series from the start many years back

orecir

Halfway through the new season.

Fantastic stuff as always.

Pentecost

Binged it over the weekend. It's great, interested to see where they go next. As someone else said above it'll take a while to hear "peas" and "food" and not think about their alternative meanings.

NIMAN

Another excellent season. Quality right to the end.

It seems to be one of those shows that not many people you ask have watched.

orecir

Could of watched an entire series of just crazy scouse Curtis.

Pentecost

Yeah that was one screwed up family dynamic. I thought they could have expanded a bit more on why Curtis's sister hated Lauren so much and why they were basically locking her up.

Scouse accent is fairly menacing!

Lucas Hood

Jasmine Jobson who plays Jaq is brilliant in this.

yourdeadwright

Really love this since the very first series summer house,

It's brilliant tv, it might be a bit of a unpopular call but i think the weakest characters are Dushane & Shelly , Shelly just doesn't make much sense to me ,

Sully & Jamie are brilliant , Curtis this season was an amazing performance , he was terrifying without ever putting hands on anyone ,

To me the stand out character is Jaq , Jobson does an amazing job i'd love to know how much is acting & how much is just her if you get me,

Jaq reminds me of Snoop from the Wire. Although you can understand better what Jaq is saying.

Yes I thought that when I first saw her in the last series too. Better looking though!

Thanks for the spoiler, wtf?

Does it not say spoilers will be posted in the title. Sorry about that.

That's not a spoiler. Season 3 happened in 2019 and had nothing like that going on. It was Dushane against Jamie after he came back from Jamaica and Sully was in prison.

Also the thread title says Spoilers, so they're to be expected if you're not up to date.

Oops, always thought that meant tag your spoliers! Apologies, I'm a dumbass 🤣

Pretty much wrapped it up for me here, Shelly is frustrating, I know S4 has showed her darker past a little, but she is frustratingly went from resisting Sully to being very accepting of his entire lifestyle including flaws very quickly. She gets a free pass though as little simz is one of the best and most important female music artist in currently making music in UK.

Curtis was also a cracking character, every second he was on screen I was literally holding my breath. My wife thought he was one of the creepiest characters appearing on tv in a long time.

I have no idea how to do the spoilers so il just say i was hoping for a different conclusion for Dushane, but will look forward to the next season when it comes out.

It's awkward trying to explain to people who haven't seen it about the seasons.

So the last season will be 5, but you often see it called 3, as only 3 will be on Netflix, with the previous 2 on C4.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118870208#Comment_118870208

I never thought about it like that. I've been watching since the C4 days. But its a fair point.

NIMAN

Tell me about it.

I was halfway thru S1 on Netflix, when I discovered I was halfway thru S3.

Had to stop and go watch S1 and S2 on C4, before resuming S3, which used to be S1 to me.

Just finished watching latest season and that was definitely a spoiler what happened to Curtis, but not a major one.

Wasn't too gone on S3 but S4 was pretty good, massive improvement imo. They should have kept Curtis around though and maybe got rid of his bitch of a sister instead.

Really enjoyed this latest season, great ending, unexpected. Took me a while to tune into the cockney lingo again.

Agent Coulson

The Irish are coming......

Barry Keoghan And Brian Gleeson join the cast for the final season as Jonny and Tadgh.

Drake will be happy

NIMAN

Not a fan of BK, never seen the appeal.

Agent Coulson

Long wait. But a great show so hopefully the final season will live up to the previous ones.

Agent Coulson

The final season drops September 3rd.

Love this show. Actually don't think I will watch that trailer for fear of spotting something 😀

gucci

Going to give last season a rewatch as I recall it was very good, and at the time I expected that it may have been the concluding season to the storyline.

Looking forward to S5 now.

Can’t wait for this…only just binged it all on Netflix.

now I have to watch it with subtitles tbh to understand a lot of it!

Agent Coulson

Final season added.

Don't need him in this, or his stupid Irish gang, he'd be dead in a week in real life, watching this now, I'll keep it to myself

Pentecost

Great season again. I'll come back with some further thoughts in a few days so as I don't spoil anything for others not at a loose end today! But it's really good stuff.
