Jamies squad was down so bad they were recycling as a hustle
These man were dropping bodies having warehouse shoot outs like it was GTA. They’d be caught and locked up within daysOh yeah definitely. I mean Sully getting kidnapped and almost beaten to death, going into peckham and not knowing the details of the place but coming out unscathed and killing mad people with a bunch of youngsters. How would criminals like deshane, sully, jamie be able to travel to morocco and spain without the federal police not knowing. 3 federal cops getting merked?
I mean the show started off with that cop scene and that was like the last time you saw them doing anything all season
when them liverpool dudes were across the street and went and shot up the shop any cctv would have caught that easily
Yeaaah that’s what I mean the earlier stuff felt a little more grounded. Had some good themes/storytelling. It’s like, they still have that but with a shyt load of murder/shooting/ridiculous and unbelievable shyt added on top, when i’m not sure they really need it to tell the stories.Yeah I think I’m done with this show after this season. You would have thought it takes place in a 3rd world country and not the most surveillance city in the world with how nikkas drop bodies and and never get arrested. They trying to have ol boy with the car snitch when all they got do is look at any one of them CCTV cameras. It’s basically a American crime drama that has a London backdrop. The OG seasons actually felt like some London shyt.
Agreed the Shelley plot was dumb and pointless. I liked the Lauryn storyline because her man played the sociopathic villain so well. Him just lighting up a salon with a machine gun was dumb af. The Spain storyline also made the show feel like a bootleg narcos. The show was popular because of the gritty London dark vibe and they strayed away with it so much. They relied on shootings and murders to make up for good story telling. Sully doing a hit in broad day light with no mask and leaving witnesses . Dushane gang was able to find the girl that setup ats through camera footage but the police couldn’t? The gang had better investigation skills then London police . Sully getting beat and kidnapped went viral and the people that did it all ended up murdered and burnt to a crisp and the police were clueless about it all .Yeaaah that’s what I mean the earlier stuff felt a little more grounded.

For example the the Lauryn/Controlling scouser lad storyline was one of the better/realistic subplots most of the season then last couple episodes it just went crazy with machine gun fire
And lets be honest with ourselves, we really REALLY didn’t need that Shelley buried body subplot
Maybe I’m biased because I was born and raised in London so I love the authenticity but this was another 10/10 season. I’ll admit it was pretty predictable and I called most of the big moments but the character work and plot were damn near flawless for me.
My only complaint is waiting all that time for a new season only to be hit with only 8 episodes left me fiending for more
Side note, that scouser dude was intimidating as hell

Can we all admit now that this was by far the worst season to date, and that the whole direction of the Netflix show is so poor and weak compared to the original two seasons? They were legit amazing. I put them on the same level as the Wire. The first two seasons had such tight and focused plotlines and excellent character development. Not a single scene was pointless or wasted. All the different plotlines for the different characters tended to come together by the end of the last episode of each season, and you saw how they all connected together in the end. Plus everything was very realistic. The cops were actually a force that mattered, Dushane's empire was almost brought down over killing Kamale not once but twice by the police heat. It was really elite television.
Now the Netflix shyt is garbage in comparison. Like yeah it's still entertaining and whatnot. But damn, artistically it has fallen so far from the original Top Boy.
the original top boy was nowhere close to The Wire. they were operating on a top level of stupidity in those original 2 seasons dushane and whatever the other guys name was, two fukking idiots that nothing was going right for . it had enough to keep me watching but it has a miserable feeling to it
i haven't watched the netflix seasons but they i'm not surprised, 98% of what Netflix puts out is trash they just had enough marketing to get it popping
