[C.R.A.Z.Y]

Top Boy (2011 & 2013)

A thriving but underground drugs business is being run by Dushane ('Ashley Walters') and his friend Sully (Kane Robinson) to become the richest men on the block. To live rich Dushane and Sully go into partnership with top don Bobby Raikes ('Geoff Bell (I)'). Rivalry with Kamale (Scorcher) and his gang results in their loan from Raikes being stolen, and they swear revenge.

Just finished binge watching the first 2 seasons of this and must say it was rather good.
Whilst the acting at times was a little questionable the overall feel of this gritty East London gangster drama was pretty special, so good that Drake got involved and pushed for the canned 3rd season to be produced!! I can't wait, highly recommended.

Just watched the first episode of Topboy (2019) (Topboy Season 3)
Very impressed, hopefully the rest of the season is as good.

Highly recommend this series for anyone who hasn't seen it yet
