Top Boy

[dreamizm]

Thought Scorcher went in!

Hopefully they come wit sutm original plot-wise as it develops.

[Pedro Sánchez]

Yeah, I enjoyed it, all the performances were pretty convincing even Kano was decent and it was shot right. Looking forward to it tonight.

[MPathy]

sen im, my boys ell put a hole ina ya denim.

[O Tumma Tum Ladin]

might tune in to hear what kano's english accent sounds like.

[minifletch]

Was quality, 'House of Pain' was released after it aired aswell..

Soundcloud

[HamCrescendo]

it was aite.


just depressing straight from the get go... i dont give a fuck about that kids mum, why am i supposed to care, all ive seen her do is lie in bed, cry, lie on the floor and cry, sit in hospital and cry. too many lingering shots too early on in a series trying to make me feel sad for people who i know fuck all about yet.


less time spent on people staring longingly into the distance please.


but yeah hope it goes somewhere.

yeah i agree, the characters arent the best.

feels to me like someone wanted a british "the wire" without really giving it enough thought!

[JBoy]

But its got asher d and kano in it! Surely they can portray urban life better than anyone else.

[belalala]

about to watch the first episode, looking fwd... if it's good i'll be tuning in to the second one afterward

[doonedave]

felt proper sorry for the boy's mum.

tunes are pretty sick. big up Brian Eno.

[ojsmooth]

Best thing about it is the Eno soundtrack, everything else is pretty weak - blatant steal of the Cutty/Dennis Wise character from The Wire, looks exactly the same as him plays exactly the same role.
Was expecting a lot more from this.

[wizeguy]

Thought the first episode was sick, gonna be a good show i think

[therapist]

Looked like it might be good, but sort of shit to be honest.

[Y_H]

Watched the 2 episode, wasn't bad.

Are you 5 years old or have you just discovered that not all TV has a warm and cuddly voiceover explaining what's going on

[LA_Boxers]

Decent enough compared to other crap.......but yeah is defo just The Wire UK with less emphasis on the police.

[Pedro Sánchez]

blatant steal of the Cutty/Dennis Wise character from The Wire, looks exactly the same as him plays exactly the same role.

Not really though is it, Cutty just got out of prison in The Wire and started a boxing club, the character in this works in a hospital and did a stint in the nick a few years ago and is helping out the son of a friend. Do you know how many guys in inner city areas fit that description...fucked around as kid, did a stint in prison, got out reformed and bulked up from training and decided a life of crime was behind them and wanna help the community, it's a very identifiable character, as are many of the characters in the programme.

[frizzwah]

tunes are pretty sick.

was good to hear fuck buttons at the end of yesterdays episode.

[O Tumma Tum Ladin]

which scorcher's in it?
