* Meta-Brilliance: The entire show's resurgence back in 2017 came at possible the most perfect time due to the rise and resurgence of more multi-cultural British celebrities. Grime, Afrobeat & Afroswing music became more popularised with stars such as Music/{{Stormzy}} becoming household names. And the show was also released during the peak period of Brexit, leading to the show gaining further critical acclaim and popularity due to it tackling issues more apparent in the UK.

** There’s the subtle parallel of their relationships with their apprentices, both of who serve as mirrors to their characters. Michael is shown to idolise Dushane, trying to impress him at every turn and emulating his style and attitude, Dushane clearly sees some of himself in Michael and likes him because of that, even trusting him enough to carry out a deal with a high-paying customer. Jason is initially disrespectful to Sully, pestering him so he can nick his phone, but Sully is impressed because of the boy’s tenacity despite the poor circumstances he lives in and because he sees some of himself in Jason as they both grew up with drug-addicted mothers forcing them to fend for themselves. Interestingly by the end of the season, both Michael and Jason’s fates, serve to highlight the deeper emotional difference between Dushane and Sully. Dushane mainly sees Michael as a footsoldier, and when it’s revealed he’s TheMole, hardly hesitates to think about killing him. Sully not only goes out of his way to take Jason under his wing, but also tries to help improve the boy’s physical health and acts like a genuine [[ParentalSubstitute surrogate father]]. Furthermore, whilst Michael is scared to even ask Dushane for help after the police pressurise him, showing that despite his loyalty he’s more scared of Dushane than trusting, Jason doesn’t hesitate to call Sully when his step-dad abuses him and even goes sticks with Sully afterwards and isn’t very scared of Sully even though he witnesses him commit numerous violent actions. The fact that in the last episode, Michael [[HeroicSacrifice gives his life to save]] Dushane, whilst Jason’s life is saved by Sully who protects him from his AbusiveParents and tries to improve his life by taking him under his wing, cements that Dushane isn’t as considerate and Sully isn’t as cold-hearted as the previous season would have the viewer think.

* The [[{{Foil}} parallels]] between [[RedOniBlueOni Dushane and Sully]] are at the centre of this season.
** Interestingly both of their character arcs focus on their attempts to change themselves now they aren’t partners. Dushane is trying to accumulate more wealth, even outside of dealing drugs, becoming more ambitious and hardened. Sully is striking out on his own to show people (and likely prove to himself) that he doesn’t need Dushanbe, becoming more pragmatic as a result.

** Dushane giving Jamie the choice of killing Kit or Dushane having both of them killed, [[GeniusBonus has direct parallels with series 1]]. Bobby Raikes gave Dushane the same choice after Sully's reckless actions and some viewers suspect this was a SecretTestOfCharacter for Jamie. Unlike Dushane who murdered Raikes rather than betray his best friend, Jamie goes through with murdering Kit. Whilst this did prove to Dushane he was loyal, it could also be seen as him failing the test.

* Ra'Nell stabbing his abusive father is a case of [[AdultFear serious]] horror due to his young age and the effects of DomesticAbuse. However what may be even worse, is that judging by his quiet personality in Summerhouse season 1 and with the comparison of the trauma his mother's suffered which has affected her mental state, to the point she has to be sectioned, it's not unlikely Ra'Nell is suffering from some deep psychological issues of his own before the series has even begun.

* Wendell, the man with his son who Dushane briefly interacts with in episode 2, is alluded to be Dushane's father. This was later [[https://www.dazeddigital.com/film-tv/article/45966/1/top-boy-oral-history-interview-ashley-walters-kano-little-simz-netflix confirmed by]] [[WordOfGod creator Ronan Bennet]]. Dushane telling Wendell's son (who he meets for the first time in this scene) "I'm your brother" is of course a major clue but it also adds a sense of sadness as it's clear the extent Wendell has been a DisappearedDad. Not only does Dushane [[CallingParentsByTheirName address him by his first name]] but Sully, who's Dushane's BestFriend since [[ChildhoodFriends childhood]] doesn't even recognise him, going so far as to ask Dushane who he is, to which the latter replies: "[[YoureNotMyFather No one]]".
** This is later [[CallBack called back]] to in series 3, when during a conversation with [[LoveInterest Shelley]], Dushane tells her that his father has a new family.



* Dushane in the first episode is sporting a BeardOfSorrow, has gained some weight and Dris even remarks when he comes back to the UK in episode 2, that he's starting to look like his dad.
* Sully's [[VisitByDivorcedDad visit to his ex-wife's new house]], with him reading Literature/TheTigerWhoCameToTea to his daughter Tasha in episode 8 has a lot of significance, especially regarding Sully's character and his relationship with his daughter.
** Sully could be seen to represent the tiger, the tiger of the story is a PartiallyCivilisedAnimal who whilst having a fearful appearance is quite cordial. In the same vein Sully is a partially RetiredOutlaw who whilst [[ScaryBlackMan intimidating]] and [[SnarkKnight abrasive]] on the outside does have a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold warm centre]].
** The plot of the children's book's story is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: a tiger arrives at a young girl's house and has tea with her and her mother, a lot like how Sully arrives at his daughter's new house to have tea with her and her mother. Both the tiger and Sully initially get off to an awkward start but their visits end quite [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarmingly]].
** There's also a sad significance regarding how both Sully's visit and the book's story end. The tiger leaves at the end of the book and despite the girl buying a tin of tiger food, he never comes back. Similarly despite the initial meeting between him and his daughter going quite well, when Sully returns to the house later on after escaping an attack by rivals, he's told he can never see his daughter again by Taylor, due to the danger his criminal lifestyle can bring.



** Last season the first scene opened on Dris, who was KilledOffForReal by Sully in the last episode for betraying Dushane and Sully. This season's opening scene focuses on Jamie, and just like Dris, come the end of the season he's also murdered by Sully for betraying him and Dushane.
** Both Jaq and Sully voice to Dushane how they don't trust Jamie, and it's clear after their conversation in the first episode they both partially blame him for Dris' betrayal and death. Considering how both of them were quite close to Dris and were the only two people witness to his murder, it's not a stretch that either of them would've killed Jamie if not for Dushane.
** Lizzie tries to sway Jamie to betray Dushane, so the two of them won't be trapped as his "bitches". What finally convinces Jamie to instigate his scheme to betray Dushane? When Chaash tells him that a master has to keep their "dog" on a short leash and should put them down if they step out of line. Now what does Jamie do to his "master"?
** Sully states to Jamie's face in Spain that he would murder him if he stepped out of line, during all of their scenes together there's clear tension and Jamie is quite visibly afraid of Sully, which comes to a head after Juan El Bueno outs his ploy to betray Summerhouse.
** Throughout this season he's called out on his decision to submit to Dushane by Kit, who also presses him on his willingness to forgive Ats for bteraying him and his family. Later on, when he talks to Stefan about Ats' betrayal, he acknowledges that Ats' was forced to betray Stefan even though he didn't want to, and then compares Stefan and Ats' friendship with that of him and Kit. Just like Ats, Jamie ends up betraying his best friend because of blackmail by Dushane and just like Ats it factors into why he was murdered.

Whilst this did prove to Dushane he was loyal, it could also be seen as him failing the test.
** Considering that Sully still feels guilty over murdering his NumberTwo Dris, and is shown haunted by it in his first scene this season, it's quite telling that he finally decides to outright murder Jamie when Dushane reveals he was willing to murder his own NumberTwo.
** Finally, Sully both before and after his CharacterDevelopment has always been characterised by how highly he values loyalty and his allies, and is also a direct reason for his rifts with Dushane. Every season he and Dushane's friendship is tested when Dushane makes decisions that either undermine said loyalty, such as Dushane cutting him out of Summerhouse at the end of series 1. Or when Dushane allows Sully's partner-in-crime Mike to be murdered by Rafe. Sully also strongly values family, made clear with how deeply his surrogate son Jason's death hit him and how he disliked Dushane setting up Jamie's family in order to weaken their rival. Dushane's callousness at having Jamie murder his best friend, and seeing that if Jamie could betray Kit, he could betray him and Dushane, also likely contributed to him murdering Jamie.

* Why is Sully in later seasons ,particularly Season 3, less AxCrazy than he was back in season 1 where he had no remorse for accidentally killing an innocent man or about the death of [[spoiler:Leon]]. Well in season 2 he’s working as a gun-for-hire so he’s killed more people and is less HotBlooded and eager to prove himself as a bad man. In season 2 he’s colder, which is possibly due to his partnership with Mike who is even more of a LeeroyJenkins than he ever was due to his mental instability. By Season 3 Sully’s just finished serving a sentence in prison so he’s had time to calm down and loosen up some of his excessively violent tendencies [[spoiler: and after Jason’s death he’s clearly in a state of trauma and possibly PTSD]] which along with his tiredness from how long he’s been on the Road, is making him wearier and wearier as well as less inclined to get to the top than Dushane because he’s already lost and suffered more.
