It is violent, with some intense scenes that can stick with you, even episodes after watching. Still, Top Boy is a distinct example of when great writing meets great acting; overlook it at your own peril. Read full review

Radio Times Morgan Jeffery

It's a show now unapologetically made for its loyal fanbase and they'll find much to enjoy in this latest chapter, which succeeds in building on 2019's launch to deliver 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.

Like these forceful, resourceful anti-heroes, the show always comes out on top. And it’s not about to move from that spot any time soon. Read full review

The Telegraph Michael Hogan

Mar 18, 2022

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. The script is full of heart and humour. If you binge-watch the eight episodes (as many fans will surely do), you’ll feel spat out, exhausted, thrilled. Read full review

Top Boy remains a very good show and one of modern British TV's finest offerings. It is an absolute gem of a show and one that is gripping and intense in equal measures.

The only thing that really prevents me from giving it a higher score is that certain scenes from here look like theyTop Boy remains a very good show and one of modern British TV's finest offerings. It is an absolute gem of a show and one that is gripping and intense in equal measures.

The only thing that really prevents me from giving it a higher score is that certain scenes from here look like they are pulled straight out of the wire but less artistically written. Top Boy has always had hints of this comparison but Dushane and Sully's relationship feels exactly like Stringer and Avon's. I don't think you can get quite as many props being second to this plot, especially when the wire did it first.

This lack of 100% fresh ideas is one of Top Boy's biggest weaknesses. Thankfully, all of the other parts are more than enough to paper these cracks. There is also some innovation and I particularly like both the Summerhouse demolition and Lauryn storylines and they felt like very inspired ideas.

Overall, I would still heavily recommend Top Boy especially to a British audience, it'a definitely in the upper echelons of current TV.
