Star of Top Boy, a show that has undoubtedly inspired a fair amount of young men to follow the roadman lifestyle and engage in the violence that follows. Hideously ironic if you think about it.

Brilliant movie. Having worked in the industry for many years, they get it bang on.

Well, no more than any given show about criminals has and in fact possibly less - Top Boy is fairly harrowing stuff.

Strongly disagree. I don't think there are many pieces of media, in this country, that have had the same effect. It may have been harrowing for you and me but elements of it absolutely promoted the lifestyle to young lads. It showed the whole thing as being a sort of noble burden, a "It has to be this way" sort of mentality.
It's football factory but for for stabbing people rather than punching them.

Bizarrely Brad Pitt is named in the credits as executive producer

After a few barren years for TV, this and Severance have rekindled my passion.

Just seen a clip of the co-writer being interviewed on I think breakfast tv - he is trolled on line as not being a real man, called Jewish and other things. There are some horrible stupid people in the world

Normally they have only provided some kind of funding towards the production to be named as an executive producer, Drake was also an executive producer for Top Boy I believe.Ok, bizarre may have been the wrong word but I didn’t know he was into being involved in British drama series’s
Has he promised not to stab people?

He don't need to, he has his head screwed on for a 13 year old, and knows right from wrong, fortunately.

Watched it all today.
brilliantly done.
very harrowing.
My boy is 23 and has grown up with a lot of these influences.
He blames feminism for a lot of his challenges in the world.
He also blames my generation of men, for being weak and not guiding his generation well.
I've put my hand up to where I think he has made valid points.
But equally, I have explained to him that I have spent more time with him than my father did with me.
It's a tough one.
There are no easy answers, but we all latch on to the one that resonates best with us.
My son has more faith in Jordan Peterson's opinions than he does in mine.
