Wagwan, mandem - welcome to the Top Boy (Netflix) thread

I'm shocked to see how little mention there is of Top Boy on this board. It's basically like a British version of The Wire - the dealings of Jamaican drug gangs in the council estates of London.
As I haven't even finished watching myself, let's keep this non-spoilers for now.
In case you want to get started, you should know that Top Boy: Summerhouse is NOT a pre-quel. Rather, it is the actual 1st season that they renamed in arrears. So, start with that. (I unfortunately only found this out after watching "Season 1".)
You have to watch with subtitles, as 80% of the reason to watch the show is to enjoy the absurd slang and patois, innit bruv?

British friends of mine turned me on to this when Netflix bought the rights and kept the show going. You are correct that it is fantastic and very similar to The Wire. I’ve been listing it with Mr. Inbetween as the most underrated shows. Well, under discussed. People who’ve seen them know how good they are.
