Top Boy - Reviews

...the show's most blockbuster season yet, without sacrificing the heart and the grit which made the series sing when it first premiered more than a decade ago.

This brilliant crime drama always leaves you guessing.

It’s a storming series, which manages to take on serious issues – mental health, domestic abuse, homophobia, child neglect – without ever becoming po-faced or worthy.

...[en] fremragende tv-fortælling, der med sine mange plotspor og fordømmelsesfrie karakterstudier dufter lidt af David Simons ’The Wire’.

...a fittingly brilliant – and bloody – goodbye.

...still the best crime show you’ve never seen.

There's no exposition dump of the sort that weighs down a lot of new ensemble-driven dramas. And the setting feels unique.

...delivers six tense, kinetic and moving episodes where our complex anti-heroes find themselves pushed to the brink.

...Top Boy and its captivating characters will be sorely missed.

...a brilliant return to the mean streets of Hackney.
