Top Boy Series 3 Discussion Thread | (Netflix)

[WavyHair ChippedTeeth]

As someone who grew up near in the hood in London (more like Kendrick, was cool with the roadmen on my estate but wasn’t involved) I tip my hat off to everyone involved in creating this season Season 1 & 2 were great but this was a step up to all time GOAT level.

The topics were so real and relatable it was hard for me to watch at times (gentrification, mental illness & ptsd in the hood, young brother having a stroke, immigration, absent parents, dudes involved in the road life out of necessity due to their situation) I saw all of these things growing up in the hood so it was very accurately done. I was never involved with the road life cause my parents sheltered me but I hope this show brings light in the UK as to why dudes are involved in the street life. The media here likes to demonise us but this might wake people up and realise most the these dudes were born into a situation that pretty much forced them to get involved.

One last thing, the acting especially from Kano was exceptional. This season put Power to shame and it’ll be hard for to watch the rest of the season. I know Drake is the coli ‘s number 1 enemy but props to him for helping bring this show back.

Well said bro, love that.

May I ask where you grew up?

How long was Sully locked for and for what? I don’t think the show explained that

I think we’re just supposed to assume Kamales Murder from season 1 caught up with him since they were linking it to the gang in the first 2 seasons, either that or general street shyt

 

[Duke_Droese]

I remember the threads here (or on ) for the first season were mainly full of s @ how many times they said "insert name stole the food"

how times change lol

What are you talking about

England and scotland are two different xountries so of course they need their own flag

But both the scotish flag and english flag are amalgamated into the british flag

Scotland is a british country, this isnt debatable its a fact, its as much british as wales or england

Scotland still has their respective flag that they use in their own country, they have their own parliament for christ's sake. They didnt adopt the "union jack" till 1606. I'm unsure of why you are arguing about something you clearly have no idea about outside of the surface off handed knowledge. Just because it's called the united Kingdom doesn't mean shyt bruh, half of Ireland is considered Europe, northern Ireland is still England hence the Brexit backstop debate. Once again I say all that to give you further proof that they are not the same. Wales equally wants to pull out of the union, they teach Gaillic in schools and have their own culture separate to the English it's only for politics. Just like Puerto Rico is America.

Yes they have their own flag, same way england has its own flag but both are countries in britain, both have british passports. Not sure what u cant understand. Nothern ireland is NOT england, it is united kingdom

My only error above is saying Northern Ireland is a part of England instead of saying united Kingdom. I'm not sure why you are confusing Scottish people and English people; regardless of Union they are different. The only one that is most similar to England is Wales and even they want to withdraw from the union. Your arguement is based around how they are officially considered rather than how they culturally are.

Dont nikkas ever get bored of all these black shows/movies that only focus on poverty, drug dealing, crime in general and the hood.

How do you define British without describing their individual cultures?

 

[Kuwka_Atcha_Ratcha]

How do you define British without describing their individual cultures?

How do you define british? Lmao by any of the countries within britain

Breh... Where are you from?

Yeah Old Kent Road back in the day was no joke.

Head on a permanent swivel!

London. When you are describing parts of a culture you cannot do so without referring to the parts that are specific to a subculture and how the contribute to a whole. British culture is either English, Scottish, Irish or Welsh what they have most in common is that they're white. But their cultures are different. That's like saying all african cultures are the same and group them under African when it's clear that they are different and from different countries. This is stupid. Scotland was its own country separate from Britain till the 1707. Google is your friend bro.

We were arguing about the Scottish accent not being the same as a British accent. Which it is not and that's a fact.
