I finished today and it’s ok. It somewhat shamelessly takes elements from Top Boy and season one of Heroes and mixes it together.
The writing and dialogue (especially with the Tazer plot line) was very cliche but it’s a somewhat enjoyable watch. Ghetts was really good as the villain in this and he’s definitely got a future with acting. I could see him making a similar transition into acting like Bashy did.
As a born and raised Londoner, I’m still waiting for a time where we can have black stories based in the city and gangs aren’t part of the narrative. Especially in a show like this where it’s Sci-FI.
With that being said, if I wasn’t a taken man, I’d be taking Nadine Mills to STK and letting her order whatever she wants
