The highly anticipated final season of Top Boy kicks off with a gripping episode that introduces a new villain, explores complex character dynamics, and touches on relevant societal issues. In the Season 2 finale, Sully executed Jamie in front of his brothers for personal and business reasons. The premiere of the third season begins with a haunting reminder of this event, while also showcasing Dushane and Shelley discussing their plans for business expansion over a meal.

It is revealed that Jamie was Dushane’s retirement plan, as he was ready to leave the street life behind. However, Sully, who is deeply ingrained in this world, approaches Dushane with an offer to take over and let Dushane retire. Despite their turbulent history, Sully proposes a deal where he will run things while Dushane takes a step back.

As the episode progresses, we witness the aftermath of the previous season’s events for various characters. Lauryn is struggling to bond with her newborn son, who reminds her of the trauma she endured while surviving Curtis. Jaq, on the other hand, embraces parenthood and begins to notice troubling situations on the streets, such as drug-addicted mothers pushing dirty babies around. Stef is still grieving Jamie’s death and is haunted by Sully’s presence as he drops off his daughter at school. Aaron is working in Leeds while Stef lives in government housing.

Things take a dramatic turn when Sully and Jaq go to meet a drug shipment, only to discover mutilated heads instead. The severed heads belong to individuals they encountered last season, and a mysterious text message instructs them to call a particular number. This leads them to an Irishman named Jonny, who proposes a business deal that Sully can’t refuse.

Sully seeks information about Jonny from Bill, an acquaintance from his time in jail. Reluctantly, Bill reveals details about Jonny and agrees to join Sully for a meeting with him. Meanwhile, Shelley plans to invest in a chain of salons but requires Dushane’s financial support. To secure the funds, Dushane must retrieve his invested money from Lithe, who is faced with the challenge of accessing the funds.

Amidst these developments, the Home Office attempts to deport Kieron, despite legal explanations from his mother, Diana. The Summerhouse estate stages a peaceful protest, capturing attention on social media and eventually leading to Kieron’s release. Dushane, however, criticizes Jaq for her involvement in drug dealing while criticizing the deportation fuss.

The episode concludes with Sully encountering Jonny, who surprises him with an ambush. Jonny threatens to harm Tash’s mother unless Sully agrees to a 50/50 split. Additionally, Jaq discovers that Lauryn’s drug habit is indirectly facilitated by her connection to Rowmando, a supplier who works for Jaq herself.

At home, Dushane receives a message from Sully, signaling that they need to have a conversation. The episode sets the stage for intense confrontations and further exploration of the complex world of Top Boy.

Prepare to immerse yourself in the thrilling third season of Top Boy, available exclusively on Netflix.
