Fans Say Drake-Produced Netflix Show 'Top Boy' is Amazing, Real & Heartbreaking

Written by Heather Snowden

The new season of TV series Top Boy landed on Netflix this Friday and all weekend our Twitter feed has been stacked with viewers sharing their love for the Drake-produced installment.

Picking up where the OG series left off in 2013, the narrative is based in and around London's lucrative drug market. However, while ruthless gang culture does form a bulk of the show's content, fans are applauding Top Boy for avoiding stereotypical pitfalls. Rather, social media is full of appreciation for it covering a myriad of issues including mental health, racism, poverty, and more.
