Top Boy, the popular crime drama series on Netflix, ended its fifth and final season with a shocking twist that left fans wondering: is Jamie dead Top Boy? The answer is yes, Jamie Tovell, the leader of the ZT crew and the legal guardian of his two younger brothers, was killed by Sully in the last episode of the series. But why did Sully do it, and what does it mean for the future of Summerhouse?

Sully’s Motive for Killing Jamie

Sully, played by Kane Robinson, was once the Top Boy of Summerhouse, but he had turned his back on drug dealing and violence after suffering from PTSD and guilt over the deaths of his friends Jason and Dris. However, he was kidnapped and beaten by Peckham gang members and rescued by Dushane, his former partner and rival. This led him to rejoin the world of Summerhouse and Dushane’s drug empire.

However, Sully was not happy with Dushane’s decision to ally with Jamie, who had tried to kill him several times in the past. Sully also discovered that Jamie was plotting to betray Dushane and take over his business. Sully did not trust Jamie, and he did not agree with Dushane’s plan to keep him in their operation as their “retirement plan”.

Sully decided to take matters into his own hands and kill Jamie, without telling Dushane. He knocked on Jamie’s door, while he was having dinner with his brothers, and shot him twice in the chest and once in the head. He left Jamie’s youngest brother, Stefan, cradling his body in his arms.

The Impact of Jamie’s Death on Summerhouse

Jamie’s death had a huge impact on the lives of the Summerhouse residents, especially his brothers, Aaron and Stefan, who were left orphaned and traumatized. Aaron, who had been studying at a prestigious school, decided to drop out and join the ZT crew, seeking revenge for his brother’s murder. Stefan, who had witnessed the killing, became withdrawn and depressed, blaming himself for not being able to save Jamie.

Dushane, who had considered Jamie as his protégé and successor, was shocked and angry when he learned that Sully had killed him. He confronted Sully and accused him of ruining their chance to escape the drug game. Sully defended his action, saying that Jamie was a threat and a traitor, and that he did not owe Dushane anything. The two had a heated argument, which ended with Sully walking away from Dushane and Summerhouse for good.

The death of Jamie also created a power vacuum in the drug scene, as the ZT crew lost their leader and the Summerhouse gang lost their ally. This opened the door for new rivals and enemies to emerge, such as the Albanian mafia, who had been supplying drugs to Jamie and Dushane. The Albanians, who had a grudge against Dushane for killing their boss, Juan, in Morocco, decided to take over the market and eliminate anyone who stood in their way.

The Future of Top Boy

Top Boy, which started as a Channel 4 series in 2011 and was revived by Netflix in 2019, has been praised for its realistic and gritty portrayal of the London drug culture and the social issues that affect the youth. The series has also launched the careers of several actors, such as Michael Ward, who played Jamie, and Little Simz, who played Shelley.

The series finale of Top Boy left many questions unanswered and many possibilities open for a potential spin-off or sequel. Will Aaron and Stefan avenge Jamie’s death? Will Dushane survive the Albanian threat? Will Sully find peace and redemption? Will Shelley take over the music industry? Will Ats and his mother reunite? Will the cycle of violence and poverty ever end?

These are some of the questions that fans are hoping to see answered in the future, as they bid farewell to one of the most compelling and captivating shows on Netflix.
