Top Boy Masterclass | With Little Simz, Micheal Ward, Kane Robinson & More | ETF 2019 

Completely agree, that's one thing I really like about this show. Without giving too much away I just want to say that characters who you think are the good ones sometimes have elements to them that make you think, hey they aren't a good person, and vice versa for the baddies. The line between who's good and bad get blurred and for me it was more like watching a story of many parties unfold rather than rooting for a 'protagonist' because at times you forget that there even is a protagonist.

About that...

Agree

Most of the cast have jamaican roots

Most of the cast have jamaican roots

We are call afo/Caribbean

read his wiki page, its pretty interesting

Nischal Shrestha I have no doubt he’s a interesting guy, you gotta be pretty talented to conjure up story lines like this top boy season, hats off to this guy, unreal season

because anyone looking at edinburgh television festival is a 45 year old white man from the countryside

@Matte Circles I like long vids

@@AquaPrince27 Not me!! Out to all those who remember Dushane, "Asher D" (Ashley Walters) on illegal pirate radio back in the day. Check the link: @

Season 3 is just so riveting!! The filming, the acting is superb.

True!!

it was dope

Or season 4 but yeah.

samuel brett exactly what I thought

I hate that Sully killed Jamie,but I knew it was coming. Jamie tried to be slick. Man! It's a shame because I would love to see how his character developed.

truss me

which they payed for

You know

I think this narrative is more important now than it was in 2011 and 2013. Top boy exposes the reality of life 'on road ' that drillers are glamourising

If you really watch the new season of this you can see it’s not just the road life

@@rogr4577 that may be the case and I look forward to watching it. Id like to think there is some nuance to the story of crime and violence, as we know to be the case in reality. BUT the perspective about black culture is low, mainly do to the mechanism used in advertising and marketing it in such a away. So anything remotely involving road life just reinforces the perception without challenge, regardless of the nuance. This is why I say there needs to be a different narrative. Just some variation. Just make a film, that happens to have mainly black folk as the cast. It can be about anything. Anything else but drugs and violence. Any other genre. Perception matters, even more so for black people towards themselves. People around the world perceive England and the people (all white) to be Rich, all Lord and Ladies of the manor living in some mansion somewhere or living in an apartment in west London, loving the Queen and the Royals, eating crumpets and scones. We know thats not true. But that is what is advertised and marketed - for a reason. So the perception globally continues to be that. Globally people think Africa is completely poor and there is no wealth with starving children and people, violence and death everywhere - via charity and films etc. Where this might be the case in some countries and shouldn't be ignored, it certainly isn't for the entire continent, intact many counties are thriving. Many many people around the world have an image of a white Jesus hanging in their house or place of living. They believe that Yashua aka Jesus... was a white male with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was born in Bethlehem located in Palestine. The middle East. Middle eastern people in films certainly are not portrayed as blond hair and blue eyes. But he has been advertised to be a particular image - and for a reason! My point is... although it's not just about road life in TB, and I'm sure it gives the reasons and circumstances behind the struggles, the premise is basically black culture is boxed within struggle, violence, poverty, and crime. I just think it's time to move the narrative to being more positive and varied. It's in our best interrest to do so in the long run.

I’m pretty certain most people know the realities of being ‘on road’ it’s not that difficult to work out. Good show still

@@jeremyjemba thing is... the people who don't understand the realities of road life... like really understand it, are the most vulnerable in our community. The people who get it obviously aren't involved and stay away from it as best as poss. Societies would have you think every young black person is linked to criminality and poverty in some shape or form. A false narrative... but unfortunately I think this show might perpetuate it indirectly...as much as it's bring light to the nuances around these type of issues.

That ending has me sooooo ready to find out 🙌

I feel like sully let him go.... i mean that's what id love to believe

I don’t think there allowed to show people getting shot tho

@@KN210 they've showed people getting hand and fingers chopped, people stabbed, burning/ acid attacks so clearly they're not afraid of displaying violence. It's more like an open-ended scene which is open to interpretation to get you invested for the 4th series. I personally think that Sully's kidnapped Dris

why does there have to be an american version of everything just be original 😂 and everyone in america 🤣🤣

Rafael Temple just watch The Wire

I Notice that too...

Probably because no one but simmz and kano has had experience being infront of a crowd on a stage, can imagine there quite nervous, and this was before the show was released so they were most likely scared to leak something by accident

A lot of people in Britain aren't used to talking about anything that is remotely related to racism or black British people on TV. We are hardly on TV as it is.

Room full of white people.

This was before top boy dropped, so the weren’t allowed to say certain things which is why they were guarded.

I feel what you are saying but in reality NO ONE stepped up. Perhaps Steve Mcqueen shoud have but his creativity into the series.

You're like a detective picking that one up

MAD CRINGE

i didn't think i would be either but i actually thought she did well playing the part she played. I think it's kind of shaped her real life character too. Thinks she's going to run with her top boy characters vibe from now. The more tomboy simz is out the window.

Well, she played her part very well and she's an excellent musician. Impossible for everybody to like you, we're all human!

@@stannykush1399 You noticed me. 😂😄🤣 Yhh it defo got rewatch value 👍🏿

@Tyrone Williams Is it right to sell drugs NO! But it is reality but Top Boy characters depicts all the nuances of that reality. Who is the bigger player in the drug world? Who brings it into the county? Why do "some" cops turn the blind eye to it. Statically speaking white people of all classes sell and use drugs at the same rate as black people but look at the prison population for drug offensies?
