    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,525 ✭✭✭magic_murph


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,385 ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 442 ✭✭freak scence


    very enjoyable

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,808 ✭✭✭✭yourdeadwright


    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,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,348 ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,875 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson




  • Registered Users Posts: 1,525 ✭✭✭magic_murph


    Looks top class.

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



  • Registered Users Posts: 345 ✭✭orecir


    Halfway through the new season.


    Fantastic stuff as always.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,865 ✭✭✭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.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,984 ✭✭✭✭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.



  • Registered Users Posts: 345 ✭✭orecir


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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,865 ✭✭✭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.

    Jasmine Jobson who plays Jaq is brilliant in this.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,808 ✭✭✭✭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,



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,960 ✭✭✭billyhead


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

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,865 ✭✭✭Pentecost


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

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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,535 ✭✭✭dobman88


    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.



  • Registered Users Posts: 373 ✭✭markw7


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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,282 ✭✭✭gucci


    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.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,984 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    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.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,535 ✭✭✭dobman88


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

    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.



  • Registered Users Posts: 373 ✭✭markw7


    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.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,875 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    The Irish are coming......

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

    Not a fan of BK, never seen the appeal.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,875 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Teaser for final season




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,984 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    September!

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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,875 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    The final season drops September 3rd.





  • Registered Users Posts: 389 ✭✭bugsyb4


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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,282 ✭✭✭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.



  • Posts: 0 ✭✭✭ Anthony Magnificent Supper


    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!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,875 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Final season added.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,861 ✭✭✭Mysterypunter


    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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,865 ✭✭✭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.
