Here’s my rant on TOPBOY & TB SUMMERHOUSE since no one else around me really watches it.🙂 there’s typos

(This is my second British show after chewing gum😂)

First Thing First JAQ THE REAL TOPBOY

•I hate that Lauryn od I loved her character especially after what she been through smh

* I might be the first one to say it but I’m glad both sully and dushane got killed🤷🏾‍♀️

* I don’t like they never really had any enemies/competition they either was killed or just disappeared(rafe,the Albanians,Johnny,sugar).

* I’m glad lithe and Lizzie got the hell up out of there🙌🏾 with all the money.

* I watched topboy before summerhouse so my thoughts on the character switched. I hated dushane I hated him even more when I watched summer house but I did not now that sully and dris were such assholes like they should’ve been got killed all the terrible shit they did.

* Also dushane should’ve killed sully like raikes said to do 🚶🏾‍♂️

* I’m glad jaq killed sully instead of Stefan.

* I didn’t care for Jamie at first but I hate they made him an “underdog” for dushane. And I think he killed kit for ats not for dushane.

* Pat was terrible In her last moments😭 chis better than me

* Tbh it was probably a good thing they killed modie he would’ve been an headache

* I love jaq 💜 at first I didn’t like her but that change she still had her moments

* I love Becks voice reminds me of Sade

* I also liked Shelley she should’ve never got with dushane

* Kieron death was kinda pathetic.He definitely could’ve fought junior off

* After Stefan left I definitely expected someone else to pop up I was right but it still scared me. Jaq was smooth with it.

* the riot was kinda pointless they could’ve did something else with those scenes

* What happened to si was crazy as hell like how do you move on from that.

And I would love recommendations for shows like this one 💜

Finished #TopBoy s3 a while ago, but wanted to revisit the first 2 series, which has been rebranded as TOP BOY: SUMMERHOUSE on #Netflix as well. What I love about these series is how truthful they are about living on the fringes and what poverty makes you do. Despite all the hand-wringing in various 'thinkpieces' about how the show 'glorifies' drugs and crime, anyone who has actually seen these things for real knows the authenticity here. The new series is an absolute triumph imho: it builds so effectively on the foundations established in Summerhouse. It takes the previous characters and scenarios, as well as introducing new ones. In the new series, DuShane is in Jamaica and Sully in jail. They have been knocked off their perch and the new antagonist is the ruthless, much younger Jamie who has taken over the estate. When Sully and DuShane return, it is full on war. TOP BOY has always dealt with complex themes about social issues, but here they are so nuanced, taking in gentrification, bereavement, LGBT relationships, teen parenthood, disability, county lines and more. Structurally the plotting is on point and it's much more genrefied towards thriller now - even though it is 10 eps now (the previous 2 were just 4 eps each), the pace zips along towards killer cliffhangers and an amazing twist in the tale. What is so impressive is how we invest in all 3 of them as anti heroes: their behaviour is appalling, yet as human beings we can see how they got where they are. That is no mean feat. Jamie and DuShane are doppelgangers, 'good sons' corrupted by The Road, but for me the real revelation in s3 is @therealkano - he was great in Summerhouse but here Sully's new arc as Road-weary father ex con is fantastic ... He plays it soooo well. Would love him as Matthew in #TheOtherTwin ❤ WATCH IT!! 🎞 . . #Bang2write #Bang2writers #amwriting #writer #author #authors #screenwriting #screenplay #novelist #screenwriters #book #novels #writersnetwork #writerscommunity #writingcommunity #blacktalent #writersofinstagram #B2Wreviews #authorsofinstagram #writersofig #authorsofig #insta #instalike #instagood https://www.instagram.com/p/B5BZz4qhTmT/?igshid=3rb3wmhwnomp

Week 3

A few of my friends and I started watching a popular series on Netflix called Top Boy that shows drug-dealing gangs from London’s housing estates. They seemed to be really enjoying the show. I personally think that the crime genre has shown its fair share of crime organization oriented shows. Nothing came out at me as revolutionarily new. Similar storylines have been depicted in shows such as The Wire , Breaking Bad, etc… However, Top Boy did have its own unique associations with the show such as its own soundtrack that was released by OVO Sound and Warner Records. Various UK drill, Grime, and Hip Hop artists are featured on the album that depict gang lifestyles from London and various other regions. The most popular artist among the artists featured is Drake. In fact, it was his disapproval of the Topboy Summerhouse series getting cancelled that sparked the following for the show and eventually lead to the release of this new Topboy series that dropped this September. Drake went on to Twitter and tweeted his objections to the show's cancellation. His thirty-eight million followers were being sold a television series from a celebrity persona that has clearly established a huge following. I have a close friend named Rav that is a Drake fanatic. He invests time and money into his music, clothing merchandise, shows, social media, even his brand of whisky named Virginia Black. When Drake dropped the name of Topboy in various tweets, he took notice. When he found the show trending on his Netflix, he decided to watch the show. When I talk to friends, I usually take their television show preference very seriously. I assume that Rav has taken his relationship with Drake so seriously that his recommendation for a television show guaranteed the chances of Rav watching the show. This is referred to as worship because of Rav’s excessive amount of time and energy spend with Drake products.

When a celebrity has many followers on a social media, it seems as though they may be prone to having more parasocial interactions with that particular persona of the celebrity that is portrayed in the products that they consume. These products that sell the celebrity’s persona could be songs, albums, music videos, interviews, social media posts, documentaries, etc. They are all available for consumption on the internet. The consumer does not have to leave their house. They could be consuming the product twenty four hours a day if they wanted to. The possibility for worship are always there.

According to Brown, there are four processes of audience involvement with media personae including, transportation, parasocial interaction, identification, and worship. Parasocial interaction is one such process that can occur when interacting with media texts. According to Brown, “Parasocial interaction is the process of developing an imaginary relationship with a mediated persona both during and after media consumption, which begins with spending time with the persona through media or participation in mediated events, and is characterized by perceived relational development with the persona and knowing the persona well”.Brown explains how a persona that captures the attention of a person can stimulate one’s imagination to create a perceived relationship with that person. In other words, Rav sees Drake as a person he knows although, he has never met him in person before. His mind wanders to fantasies of knowing him based on portrayals that have etched a unique perceived persona, created continuously by the consumption of various cultural products of the persona. The relationship between persona and consumer can develop into a very active one way bridge of communication. Worship is on the extreme end of the spectrum where, “making one’s relationship with a media figure (is) the primary focus of one’s time and attention that evolves out of a strong love for that persona” (Brown, 2015, pg. 266). In other words, worship is the act of focusing on a media figure to the point where they bring in consistent contributions of time and energy that in turn blossom into a perceived good relationship with the media figure. In reality, it is really just a carefully constructed image that is being sold to a consumer audience. Not only that, but this image has the ability to sell other products to its audience members. It could be that the stronger the relationship between the persona and its consumer, the more likely they are to think about purchasing the product. Rav sees Drake as a person that has similar interests as himself. Therefore, Whatever he sees Drake consuming or promoting to consume, he thinks of consuming himself. This is why Rav said that he started watching Top Boy. Drake had lured him into invest in the advertised product. Rav’s worship relationship with Drake lead him to become invested into the personas of the characters on the show. This includes the persona of one of the main characters of the show named Jamie. Rav described identifying with Jamie’s persona as similar to his own. According to Brown (2015), “Identification occurs from this perspective when an individual adopts the attitudes, values, beliefs or behavior of another individual or group based on a “self-defining” relationship… media consumers search for personae with whom they want to identify and when they find them, they adopt the attitudes, values, beliefs and behavior of these personae that are already similar to their own or that they are already predisposed to adopt” (pg. 264). Rav has identified with Jamie’s role as a strict older brother that takes care of his siblings as a parent would. Rav had described to me that he looks at his little sister as a child that he needs to take care of. These shared attitudes of family has strengthened the identification between Rav and Jamie. Now, it may be easier to establish other traits of Jamie as his own since he already identifies with him. It got to the point where he would talk to us in a British accent, pronounce words differently, and even use the slang that is found in the dialogue of Top Boy. This is an example of how media personas can be used to influence consumer audiences to buy into brands and products through advertising. Drake has brought a dead television series back into the limelight through promotion and association.

Netflix revives London street drama 'Top Boy' with Drake's help

Netflix is continuing its tradition of extending popular Channel 4 TV shows after confirming that London street drama Top Boy is being revived. In a tweet, the show's star Ashley Walters -- also known as Asher D from the So Solid Crew -- confirmed that the series has been picked up as a Netflix Original and will debut in 2019 with a little help from Canadian megastar Drake.

Top Boy follows the rise of Dushane (Walters) and his friend Sully (played by Kane 'Kano' Robinson) in the grimy underground drugs business. The show won a BAFTA for in 2012, but was dropped a year later. Last year, it emerged that Drake had swooped in and bought the rights from Channel 4, having earlier watched the show on YouTube and shared his appreciation for the series on Instagram. Walters has also said that Drake will play a significant role in the upcoming season.

According to Hollywood Reporter, the third season will pick up from where it left up, with Dushane returning to London to reclaim his throne. "He teams with Sully (Robinson), his spiritual brother, partner, and sometime rival who is also returning to the same streets after his own form of exile — prison — comes to an end. Awaiting them both is Jamie, the young, hungry and ruthless gang leader whose ambitions leave no place for Dushane and Sully," said the entertainment website.

So after years of speculation and anticipation I can finally reveal that we have managed to secure a brand new home for the new season of TOPBOY! In all honesty I'm more happy for you guys than myself. "We're going back to Summerhouse. @TopBoyNetflix 2019 pic.twitter.com/i2WoNPCwfy

Netflix had already secured global streaming rights to the series, but this is the second time it has continued development of a major Channel 4 programme by turning it into an Original production. The first was Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror, which will return to screens in the coming months.
