This is a top notch drama back with a bang!!!! Had no choice but to binge watch it..lol...Amazing cast not very well known actors & actresses however the acting all round is top quality!!.The violent crime is a bit over the top .However in the midst of it all there are lives and families caught up in the mess.The drama is so good you easily get invested in some of the characters.Constantly trying to disect their intentions,their twisted minds,their emotions or lack of it, their motives ,their options..the never ending cycle of revenge,loyalty ,community......
There's Dushane raking in millions from selling & running drugs around "Summerhouse Estate" driven by the desire to have never ending money.He wants luxury,he wants to provide for his family.He is the top boy & must have the top slice of top money at any cost. The desire for money is so deep ,he is willing to partner with investors pulling down Summerhouse Estate..the very estate he's making dirty money from & wants in on the millions that will come through an investment deal by pulling down the deprived council estate.His mum raised him there and she has no desire to move out.She would rather fight the council & the investors to keep her council house....it's a double edged sword....This drama keeps you on the edge of your seat....
Then there is Sully.....he loves & loathes Dushane his on & off partner in crime...very loyal, yet unforgiving & very suspicious of others..he has raked in millions from dirty money but would rather live like pauper on a canal..he is borderline psychotic....
Then there is Jaq a no nonsence confident fiercely loyal runner...one of Dushane's sub leaders.Charistmatic & focused...she and her sister Lauryn are polar opposites...banished from Summerhouse in a previous season for disloyalty...something Jaq, Sully & Dushane cannot forgive.....but she's in danger....she has a pycho boyfriend,Curtis & he has a crazy sister & a mad one eyed friend.....will Jaq,Dushane & Sully come to her aid.....family is everything.....
Then there is my favourite Jamie bright,calculating, a visionary...raising his brothers the best way he sees fit.....due to a tragedy not of his own in a previous season.. both parents die.He has to fend for his brothers...deep down he wants to be the Top Boy.....he is a clear subtle threat to Dushane...eveyone can see this yet noone talks about it......Dushane knows it...so he gets him out of the way...to prison on false accusations.......Then Dushane arranges Jamie's release on condition he works for him.......
Jamie shows firece loyalty by killing his best friend Kit on Dushane's orders....& within hours Jamie is tragically shot by Sully........ooooh nooo!!! how could Sully do that!!!!! Roll on Season 5......
