Netflix's Top Boy has enthralled audiences globally with its unfiltered portrayal of London's streets and the intricate dynamics of its characters. As the series wrapped up in its final season, fans were left grappling with a whirlwind of emotions and questions.
The fate of Sully, a central figure in the narrative, remains one of the most pressing mysteries. This article delves into the dramatic events of the last season and seeks to answer the burning question: Does Sully die in the final season of Top Boy?
Does Sully Die?
The climactic moments of Top Boy are set against the tumultuous backdrop of Summerhouse at war. The estate is thrown into chaos following a protest against enforced eviction, which spirals out of control due to a disastrous police intervention.
Amidst this chaos, Sully faces a confrontation with Stef. The tension reaches its peak when a gunshot rings out, and blood splatters across Sully's car windshield.
The haunting final image of the series is a shadowy figure, presumably Sully's killer, passing by the vehicle. But the identity of the gunman remains shrouded in mystery.
Who Killed Sully?
Theories abound regarding Sully's potential killer. The most immediate suspect is Stef, who might have had a change of heart after sparing Sully and decided to act on his threat. The fleeting glimpse of the gunman suggests a figure dressed similarly to Stef.
However, other characters had motives to harm Sully. Jaq had reasons to eliminate Sully, ensuring safety for her, Becks, and their baby.
Isaac, seeking revenge for the death of his two goons, could have sent a hitman after Sully.
Another compelling theory points to the McGees, an influential Irish crime family. After a failed attempt to partner with Sully and Dushane, the duo kills two members of the McGees and steals their drug stash. Could Sully's death be the McGees' retaliation?
The series leaves viewers with more questions than answers. Perhaps the ambiguity is intentional, emphasizing the unpredictable and perilous nature of the world Sully and Dushane inhabit.
Regardless of who pulled the trigger, the cycle of violence persists, and the repercussions of their actions will echo for years to come.
