Top Boy - Summerhouse - Recensies

This brilliant crime drama always leaves you guessing.

...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.

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’.

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

...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.

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

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