    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      When the third season of Top Boy was released on Netflix in 2019, it was released as "Season 1" to attract viewers, and the first two seasons from 2011 and 2013 were retroactively retitled "Top Boy: Summerhouse" to differentiate between the two.
    • Crazy credits
      In the first two seasons, the show's intro consists of a camera pan, showing a variety of buildings in London. Starting with season three, only the show's name is shown.
