Season 1, Episode 4
7/10
Season 1 Review

Warning: Spoilers
A rush is the only thing I can really say this is, 4 episodes for any series really isn't enough to do it justice and Top Boy suffers the same, characters aren't really fully developed and it's hard to empathise other side with any, the kids are used as and when they're needed to drive on the supposed journey of Dushane and Sulli who themselves aren't particularly detailed characters. Dushane is the jewel in the crown so to speak and leads the way in terms of depth but others leave a lot to be desired quite frankly. As for action everything seems grounded and believable and has the beauty in depicting the theme of division between the city of London and it's lesser known boroughs and the rift between life for these individuals but as relevant as that might be it was a little bit of a slog due to it being difficult to empathise with. On the whole a solid show and I'm gladly going to watch through the entire thing but so far there's little that's impressed me
