Top Boy

Netflix's "Top Boy" Season 2 begins just six months after the events of Season 1. In Season 1, Dushane Hill dealt with the lads from the rival gang from ...

Dushane had to send Jamie to Morocco after Sully backed out, and while Jamie tried to resolve the matter peacefully, Sully arrived in Spain and shot the man dead to end the conflict. Though Sully informed Dushane about Jamie, he didn’t want to harm Jamie because, unlike Sully, Dushane wanted to come clean from the drug business and run it from a distance. Even the boy on the Tangier beach whom Jamie met wanted to go to Spain to meet his family, so Jamie handed over his expensive watch to him so that he could trade it for a ride. He wanted to kill Jamie face-to-face in a gunfight or fistfight, but Dushane convinced him to use Ats to plant drugs in Jamie’s house to get him arrested and then use him later for business. Dushane didn’t enter the business on his own will but was pushed into it by Sugar, who threatened to kill Dushane’s cousin and brother, Donovan. But once he ended up on the streets, like a true leader, he decided to make the best out of it. The second foremost conflict was the murder of Atticus “Ats” Ayittey. In “Top Boy,” Season 1, Dushane blackmailed Ats to plant drugs in Jamie’s house, which enraged Jamie’s best friend Kit. Earlier in Season 1, Kit tried to shoot Ats at his own house, but the boy was saved by his mother, Amma Ayittey. However, in Season 2, Kit strikes again and kidnaps Ats with the help of another low-life thug named Dexter. Kit just wanted to scare Ats, but Dexter killed him. When Dushane found out about the delay in supply, he decided to take matters into his own hand and reached Spain to meet the Moroccan supplier, named Mounir. The suppliers promised to send the drugs soon, and with their assurance, Dushane returned to London, when suddenly, Mounir informed him that there was a snitch in his gang. For the time being, Dushane was free from all conflicts, but in the end, a new tragedy awaited, and this time the betrayal came from his most loyal friend, Sully. In Dushane’s court of law, a person is free to put up his case, but in Sully’s case, there was no court in the first place, just blood, death, loyalty, and revenge. The reason being that Dushane was impressed by Jamie’s vision and passion and wanted him to join the Summerhouse. Season 1 left us on a cliffhanger as Dushane met Jamie in prison and offered to work for him in exchange for his release. Sully wanted to kill Jamie, but Dushane wished to tame Jamie, and the difference in their methods and intentions became the reason for their separation, which is further explored in Season 2 and also influenced the cliffhanger of Season 2, thereby paving the path for a Season 3. Sully didn’t want to involve kids in dealing with Jamie, while Dushane didn’t want to spill unnecessary blood to end the competition.

The finale of Top Boy Season 2 ended abruptly for one popular character of the show and we reveal why Sully killed [SPOILER].

The first two seasons of Top Boy from Channel 4’s run are now being referred to as Top Boy: Summerhouse. Top Boy Season 2 Episode 8 recap Season 2 is also being referred to as Season 4 because Netflix picked up the show after Season 2 on the back of Channel 4’s cancellation.

I know what you're thinking -- there's already a Top Boy Season 3! Yes, technically, there is; Netflix's reboot of the gritty UK-set crime drama was.

Top Boy primarily revolves around Dushane (Ashley Walters ) and Sully (Kane “Kano” Robinson), two long-time friends who run a drug-dealing operation out of the Summerhouse estate in Hackney. The first season — or third, depending on who you ask — introduced Michael Ward as Jamie, a revelatory character who was as much a father figure to his younger brothers as he was a ruthless killer and criminal. It was a big hit in the UK and has received a second jolt of global popularity thanks to Drake’s association with the show and Netflix’s renewal of it.
