They live in the Summerhouse Estate, which has been devastated by crime and is ignored by the corrupt police force, and navigate their way to the top of the hierarchy — until it becomes painfully clear that only one of them can rule over this cruel world.
This British series, which just wrapped its final season, counts none other than Drake among its fans — and its executive producers. The kinetic and violent Top Boy focuses on a pair of friends (played by Ashley Walters and Kane Robinson) who make their money dealing drugs in London. They live in the Summerhouse Estate, which has been devastated by crime and is ignored by the corrupt police force, and navigate their way to the top of the hierarchy — until it becomes painfully clear that only one of them can rule over this cruel world. Between the series and its predecessor, Top Boy Summerhouse, the supporting cast includes a who’s who of British and Irish actors — Barry Keoghan, Letitia Wright, and Benedict Wong. Both shows cleverly drill home the point that sitting on a bloody throne has incredible consequences.
