Idris Elba directs a tale of sound system and ghetto culture in both JA and UK. Mixed reviews but the music score sounds excellent.
9.45 BBC2 tonight.

Top tip - thanks PU I thought it was going to be an adaptation of the Victor Headley novel which came out in the early 90s, and which is strong stuff |

Looks watchable enough. Not sure it's going to be Top Boy levels of good though. Top Boy appears to cover very similar territory based on the trailer and what I remember about the book

Nothing compares to Top Boy, don't think it ever will. One of the best British series since Boys From The Blackstuff.

Just finished this.
Enjoyable enough but the plot doesn’t bear any scrutiny
Load of old tosh really

You're a better man than I LE, halfway in I gave up. And Stephen Graham, great actor that he is, a white rasta? No.
