Sully didn't want Jamie killed because Dushane was taking a liking to him. Sully wanted him dead because he was literally trying kill him. Sully was the real and first killer out the group. He was the "shooter" everyone knew and was scared of him because of that. Sully knew he would kill Jamie the moment Jamie attacked the youngins on the road and Laten popped at him at the cremation.
The scene which emotionally drained me the most was when Lauren was escaping in the taxi, and Curtis and his family found her. It made me sweat in real life!
One of the most powerful scenes was when Stefan pointed the gun at Sully and said “how does it feel?” and Sully replied saying “You know what Stefan, I lost feeling a long time ago” - gave me the chills. I would love to find out Sullys back story and his childhood to make him say that
in summerhouse he talks to Jason about how his mum was a crackhead- it shows he lost the feeling because compared to jaq who tried to stop as soon as drugs affected her family, sully went straight into that lifestyle A spin off of a young sully would be fucking great
I think he still had feeling but when his friend for burned alive that really was the last straw every other freind he murderd just added to that. When he killed dushaine u could see he was broken he was basically a souless ghost
When Sully said to Dris “i never knew you wore glasses” it speaks volumes about their so called friendship and friendships in general in the show. They were supposed to be best friends and he didn’t even know something as basic as dris wearing glasses. It shows that there aren’t any genuine friendships in this type of lifestyle - just guilt, anger, power and greed.
For me Sully's character was the standout performance. Kano owned it imo. Sully was a complex character, but truly and honestly attached to his emotions. I think right up to that point with Stefan, he had emotion in everything he did. He never asked for forgivness for what he was, instead he accepted it no matter the outcome. The two best Sully scenes were when Jason died and he had to kill Dris. He was also governed by a moral code too - when Deshane planted the bag at Jamie's, Sully hated that, as using the feds to get to Jamie was against what Sully would do - Deshane didn't give two shits though. That last line 'we didn't lose, but we didn't win either' summed it up for me. As much as it was coming, I hated seeing Sully go the way he did.
Sully is absolutely amazing actor. Played his part better than any well known actor could. Jaq was pretty amazing as well. In fact, who ever worked on the casting team, take a bow......👍👍👍
"But you're my boy, I ain't gonna do you nothing, no matter how fuc*ing stupid you are" - Dushane (S1. Ep4). When Dushane chooses not to set Sully up but kills Bobby Raikes instead, who was ''Top Boy'' at the time, the dynamic between Dushane and Sully changes forever. By killing Raikes, Dushane becomes Top Boy making Sully a subordinate. At that moment, Sully knows that he was spared by his best friend in an act of loyalty but he is also aware of the power change that causes. Before Dushane leaves Sully, he tells him that from now on things will run differently. And (top) boy they did!
Sully's face lighting up when his little buddie says his "dream" is to go to a Football game. The thing is Sully seen himself in the Kid, as he had very similar circumstances to his childhood. Us kids who have grown up with an addict parent, we instantly connect because no one else understands what it was like to be malnourished and not have anyone care about you enough to do anything about it. I lived in a smack-hub for like 5 years as a kid. Seen allsorts transpire and it messed me right up. I grew up with a skewed outlook on life in general. You can't form proper relationships and in turn you will use people like you were used, but without even realising you're doing anything wrong. By the time you figure it out, you've already messed up enough for a lifetime. I can connect with the young lad, a lot. I've been in those same situations. Sully, not so much as I never turned into a Monster the way he did, although one or two things slightly different, and I'd have been there. I was only missing the early violence, due to not being around my Dad until I was 12 (he was in Jail for my whole childhood) I had no male role model, so I never picked up any of that side of it.
The scene in season 1 when Ranell goes down to Dushane with the knife, and his mum going to stop him could have been on here aswell! Really good scene especially with the music they used in the backround.
Sully killed Jamie because he was making deals behind Dushane’s back with the cartel and killed his best friend Kit (Dushane intentionally gave him the task to see if he would be loyal to him or snake his best friend). Sully always had a bad feeling about Jamie (especially after almost killing Sully) and it had nothing to do with jealousy.
Nah. Sully made his mind up he was gonna kill Jamie when Zed-T's scared the youngins off the road and Laten took a pop at him at the cremation. Then his death certificate was signed when they shot at him at the gas station and at the hide out house. Jamie was just living on borrowed time
Nah yall making good points but yall missing the biggest one……remember when Dushane said Jamie was his “retirement plan” Sully wasnt tryna retire he was tryna get a roadman for life so he took his chance to take over and killing Jamie was the first step. But yea all those other things too 😂
I think dris’s execution was probably the sadest and it showed the decay of his physical and mental self and he just wasn’t the same summerhouse dris I really hope we get a spin-off with dris and jaq showing what happened in summerhouse when dushane left for Jamaica
@@doves9204 tbh dris would bro was dying he was going into a state of shutting down bro was depressed the one job he had controlling the yutes that gave him power in the og top boy ruined his physical state and mental state and he just matured and he set them up to be killed so it makes sense tbh dris’s death is the most justified because people in top boy have died for a lot less
@@doves9204 how is bullshit dris set them up either of them could’ve died that because dris couldn’t understand that he couldn’t keep up anymore and his condition had in the background. Regardless of where you are from you ain’t surviving after such a mistake in judgment
I think one of the most powerful moments is when Lauryn kills Chris. I work with FDV victims and its so accurate the portrayal of what happens, what she goes through. It's scary and accurate.
Honorable mention needs to be the scene when Sully talked to Jaq about Lauryn’s death. Sully showing a rare moment of compassion and letting Jaq know revenge isnt a path she wants to go down because he knows all about it and has become the monster he is. Very underated imo.
When the old man says that Dris got shot 20 times, it's not to show how upset Sully must have been, but rather how much people outside this life fantasize and exaggerate about these stories. You can see Sully's reaction, as he knows full well that he's never shot Dris 20 times that night
My most powerful moments -Dushane getting revenge for Donovan's death -Stephan balancing himself as how his two brothers would've wanted him to be -Dushane saving Sully in Summerhouse even know the people he worked for wanted Sully dead -Jamie standing up for Stephan back in season 4 when he was being chased -Dushane offering Jamie to join him Bonus: Dushane being able to rizz his lawyer back in Summerhouse 😂
One Moment is Tricky for Me... What I will say is... what was Powerful for me... was Jaq... and her change of Heart... Losing her Sister... Seeing how the Drug Addict was treating her Baby... and finding out her Good Friend was Taken Out... just the Roller Coaster of Emotions... the Confusion of What To Do.... her realising; "The Food Is Killing Us" ( I think this Season is being Underrated, the point is... There's No Winners... it serves as a Warning to Young People )
Nobody deserved die more than Jaq. They tried to paint her as this masculine stud bt in the end all she was an emotional weak woman who's actions literally destroyed her circle and got other people killed.
Yeah Jaq arc was something that was definitely interesting to watch unfold in this final season. Although an abrupt change of heart, it was still interesting
@@walterfrisbee9878 absolutely terrible. Made zero sense. Then to have her turn around and give it right back. Or for her to meet with Sully at the café and she say she gonna return bt he allows her return it later on that night. Like wtf bih we gonna go get it right TF.
Probably not, Jamie still wanted to get Sully as did Modie so Sully knew them lot were after him and how they actually got Jamie arrested was unrelated to all that
The scene where sully had the gun down Si's throat in the final season was brutal and hard to watch I wonder how they filmed that without hurting the actor
I think Dashanes death was sad knowing he got shot by Sully. Not just that but him not talking anymore and his soulless body right there. It looked too real.
Sully was who he was and had no problems accepting it. Dushane tried to have a foot in both worlds which caused confusion and second-guessing. Sully was feared but also liked, I can't say the same for Dushane as he was the true definition of 0-100. I would love some kind of spin-off to see either a backstory of who were the Top Boys before Dushane and Sully or a present time with life after them. I was heavily interested in Ranell's and Stefan's arc and I would love to see more.
I knew Sully was going to die in that scene. The way the camera moves to show you the side window, spotted it a mile off. Also with the few scenes before Jaq's sisters death. I guessed that too, although I didn't know which one would die, and how it would happen. You could just tell by the dialogue used previously, that it was setting up a shock-death. Once you know what to look for, it becomes way easier to predict what will happen in movies in TV. You see a heartfelt moment where people seem like everything is going to be alright? nah blud, that's what we call a "bait and switch" they do this to put you off the scent, and make the subsequent deaths, all the more powerful. After GOT, this kind of scenes became way easier to predict, as everyone is biting that style of death now, they're really easy to spot (in most cases) it does ruin film and TV for you though, as once you understand how this stuff is written, and the current troupes in screen writing, you can just see the set up's a mile off. It's like when I was a Kid, I was taught to read foreshadowing. And once you can read this, it starts t become way easier to predict what will happen. The writers use foreshadowing as a way to tell us what is going to happen next. A great example is in cheesy, soap operas like Neighbours. They will show you some seemingly random object. that's foreshadowing, because in the next scene, someone will have accident with that object. Once you can see this stuff though, there's no going back, you have been warned.
Shelley defending Amma at immigration, the entire summerhouse standing up for Kieran should’ve made this list too, and most especially the last scene between Stef and Sully should’ve made this list.
I think you should add the scene where Lauryn killed Curtis. Although it didn't involve any of the main characters, that scene had more power than all the rest IMHO.
sully's reason for shooting at dushane was far more complex than being the top boy. I believe sully never wanted to be in dushane's position, but dushane never had principle, thats how sully took over. dushane was selfish and thought he was the only one runnin tings, sully is why he got that far. dushane never thought of it as a partnership.
What is with you dudes with this Sully jock ridin. If you go back to Summerhouse, Sully was an idiot who constantly made bad decisions. Dushane took out Bobby Raikes, who in fact wanted Sully dead. After that Dushane separated from Sully and was moving on his own. Dushane had food and Sully was trying to raise money to buy food. Sully, like an imbecile kidnapped his own cousin and landed himself in hot water. Dushane got him out of that also. So what are you saying fam?
@@jamelcarpenter327 You are right about Jamie. First of all Sully saw that Jamie planned on making his moves when they were in Spain because the bull put him out there on front street. After this… Jamie killed his childhood friend, which shows how much of a savage Jamie is. Dushane liked him because he admired his intelligence and thus, was blinded by it.
In my opinion I feel like dushaine defitnly big brotherd him alot on purpose but he still showed he respected him more then anyone else even when he messed up and needed help dushaine was always there. Sullys problem he was always to emotional and vielont and at the end being emitonal took all his emotions. I'd definitely say sully is the reason for there relationship detrating
Every main character that died on the show was killed by sully. Dris,Jamie,Dushane,the Irish, Juan from Morroco, if I'm forgetting any name them for me please and thank you
I always felt like that Sully killed Jamie because he was afraid he was going to do the same thing to him and Dushane, if you remember from summerhouse Dushane didn’t sell Sully out because he was his boy even tho they were bickering at that time and Kit was Jamie’s boy but he killed him as if it was nothing to be trusted to become top boy and that made it clear to Sully even tho he wasn’t really trusting him even before
For me… I never really liked Dushane, I thought he was absolutely heartless & one of the scenes that solidified it to me is when Sully just escaped and watched Jason burn to death in a fire & he’s clearly traumatised and trying to express himself to Dushane talking abut being able to smell the smoke in his skin and in his sleep and all Dushane cares about is money & chucking him a stack calling him crazy: he didn’t even support Sully at the funeral. Sully was the only one there … They say Sully is a psychopath and a killer but I believe he was highly emotional & that’s why he was the way he was. He was reactive & couldn’t control his emotions but so conflicted about his actions at times and it weighed heavy on him. He put the code before everything and that’s what made him a killer, disrespect was unacceptable no matter how much he loved or believed in the person, like you see with Dris, Kieran and what would have eventually been Jaqs. Another scene in the season before last, Jaqs was under so much pressure, she had killed people the day before, Dushane was relying on her for everything everyday, her sister was begging to come home, she was petrified of sully finding out about her sister… there’s a scene where Jaqs is stood in a club waiting for a girl to stop rapping so they could kidnap her and ask about what had happened the little boy Attica (Stefans best friend) and she was just ZONED out and soulless… she was so empty. I thought how they showed the pressure of being in these gangs and what happens to you as a person was shown perfectly through Jaqs in that scene … after shooting someone to death the work carries on
Can't believe this ended up being a decade-long, epic. The last season was a bit rough, but still, I never thought it would make it past season 1, on channel 4. It was one of them things where it just seemed like a 1-off. We've had lots of similar projects over the years, in the UK. None of them ever really made it this far. Granted the "Kidulthood" series was very popular as well, but they were movies. and similarly, fell off towards the ned there. The first 2 films are certified UK-Hood, classics.
Plot of the story ,Sully was the neighbourhood boogey man ,he was feared and respected not loved and for Dushane was the total opposite ,he was trying to be the neighbourhood hero ,he was respected and loved but not feared
@@livefromBremenMusicSMBruv, if you think the development project was the only time he was trying to sell out his community, you clearly didn’t glean the same moral from this story as the rest of the grown-ups
@@ZhangK71 elaborate pls… remember what sully said at the end ? Where we are from ,if we are not monsters we are Food … That’s why I feel Dushane was a good Monster and sully was the opposite… but sully is still my favourite character ever in the series bruv !
@@doves9204 I get u bruv , but it’s all about survival … according to the series ,it was rough at where they are from (summer house )either u b a Monster or u are food !!! It’s simple as that
@@MagimonOfficial When i thought sully shot him 20 times i knew he was top boy its not hard to understand, Maybe they have learning issues or dyslexia or do not write english very well, they dont need your patronising comment.
Jamie didn’t die because Sully was jealous, he died because he was disloyal… to Kit. If he had fled with Kit and his brothers he would have lived. He chose money over his boy and Sully couldn’t stand that. Dushane was told to kill Sully in season 1 by Bobby Raikes and ended up killing him instead… it’s ironic in the end sully killed him
Look bro Jamie killed kit his best friend growing up and he had no prob doing it, he was a stone cold killer and Dushane could not see the killer in front of him, but sully could see it and he was not going to be looking over his shoulder with Jamie around so he took him out as i knew he would, and the rushed the last 6 episodes of top boy they should have went down the Irish road imagine sully Dushane and jaqs running around Dublin, now that would have been great because im from Ireland and I used to live in London for 10 years so I know the streets very well, sully was loyal to the end and if only Dushane could have seen his brother from the streets from what he was loyal as the come , sully was the real top boy, love from Ireland to all you top boy fans, James 🇮🇪 YNWA 🇮🇪💚❤️
The ending isn’t dumb lol, it’s 2 show the dangers of the streets because every single character ends up dead or damaged, it shows that the street life isn’t worth it and de glorifies it, imagine what impressionable teens would think watching dushane and sully end the series on top with millions etc, they would think rah this life style they live is cool n shi but no they all either end up dead or broke
@@lostonoxy would’ve been a way better ending with dushane ending up in prison tbh. Sully getting killed made perfect sense, just felt it’s so generic with them all p much dying except jaq. Can’t deny season was completely rushed and the ending just further proves that
There is Lot to say about the series including sommerhouse Dris The Funny thing about dris becouse i watch the topboy sesaon 3 first. Was sad when he got killed by sully. But in the Sommerhouse seasons Dris was a the toalty ashole. Dushane In real Live Dusahne was always the Offichal Marketing Face for the Series. But make now mistake Dushane was a selfish busines man - his downfall was whell deserved. Sully Was an Loast Soul from the beginng with out no beginng and End so i think his death was iven a relive to him self Kearon just showed Loyalty to Jaq witch coast his Live. JAQ IS Achualy 2econd Winner in this becouse she anderstood after her sisters death that she had to stop selling drugs. But the way she been starting the how thing was emotionly wrong and coast Kerons Live. In Sully making her clear twice that some cind of reperchusing are to be follow she new she had to take Sully out twice for shure - becouse Sully been killed in a wounderbual Place , a place where he use to meets his Dougther. Only two new of this Steph & Jaq - steph refuse to kill Sully - so its only Jaq left. 8:10 Jammy Was one of my favorite caracters. Had achualy big Heart not only for his brothers but proove that to the kid in Marroco.❤. But to be fair iven when Jamie would have survie or be alive . He would Loast me. Becouse he killd his next man Kid witch was close to him iven For jammie that is an low value ackt to do. Steph Steph is good one to me always iven in his wrong he had more values the Moast - the real Winner Jason & Gem Sadly to say been Loosers from the beginng but thats not they fould a lot drugdealers benefit of guys like these both. LUYRN Tipicual ignorant female hood caracter never think of the next Moment LEON Real Hero his death in Sommerhouse series was not for nothing he saved Ra nells Live - a nother whinner. Ra nell From the beginng Ranell had good Heart for his Mom he try to step in for his best Frind Gem. Kit Is the the male version Lauryn thats all to Say Chris Duhane brothe was alyways a cind anoing to me thats all Dwfnely moast whill say Sully is the tuff est but have been a lot of situations where iven him whould gat Smoked easly. But in iven wan it to kill Jaq after this ??? Duhane at the other Hand was to hektic and emotional the he even killd Jeffry witch coast him the Final Trouble.
@@anthonyc2781 Aarons actor quit so they wrote him out saying he’s working in Manchester, the detectives after Lizzie was just to show why Dushane got so frustrated and were never going to find her, the Irish mob got killed and Sully’s killer might’ve been their retaliation, all in all I think they should’ve got more screen time tbf, and Curtis’ gang were irrelevant, they weren’t a competing gang, just 3 nutcases that nicked Dushane’s drugs
@@barry4649 doesn't change the fact that they concluded it poorly. And he was talking about the 2 undercover crackhead detectives that got ruben. No reaction to any of the deaths in the last episode.
