Top Boy

Series two, episode four
In the last episode, we saw someone get their arm chopped off, Mike get shot through the head and Ra’Nell get battered by ‘The Chinaman’. We didn’t think things could get much darker in the seedy underworld of ‘Top Boy’, but everything is about to get a whole lot worse in the finale. It looks like Dushane is willing to take his lawyer/love interest Rhianna up on her offer to buy his way out of the game, but first he’s got to get his food (drugs, to us laymen) back from the Albanians and he needs Sully’s help to do so.

Is this the start of a rekindled friendship? Probably not, given that on the Summerhouse estate there are no happy endings. Someone is going to have to pay with their life; the question is, who? In a tense, gripping and grim final hour, ‘Top Boy’ ties up a few loose ends before unravelling some new ones, leaving viewers gasping at a closing scene the term ‘cliffhanger’ was made for.
