Netflix also sometimes drops unknown series that suddenly become very popular in the Netherlands. That is the case with this series.
The streaming service makes many series and films itself, but also buys them. As a result, there is a lot of offer and titles are added every week. This keeps the viewers happy. Very important in these times where competition is fierce. In the Netherlands, an unknown series has quickly become popular.
Netflix series conquers the Netherlands
We are talking about the Top Boy series. The series is at the top of the list of most watched series. Remarkable, because it is (until now) actually a fairly unknown series. Netflix says the series is about: “Two seasoned drug dealers return to the streets of London, but their pursuit of money and power is threatened by a young, ruthless con man.”
Top Boy
There are multiple seasons of the series. The first season is from 2011. So it is already an old series. Netflix is breathing new life into these, and with success. At the time you could see the series on the British Channel 4 and consisted of a modest four episodes. Season two from 2013 also only had 4 episodes. That’s really very little these days.
The series came to a standstill after 2013. Until Netflix took over. The series has been on the streaming service since 2019 and a season suddenly consists of ten episodes. There are now four seasons and Netflix makes a distinction between them. The first seasons can be found under the name Top Boy Summerhouse. This is important, because if you are going to start with the series, watch it first. Reviewers are positive and to give the series high marks.
