The debt collectors in the UK aren't allowed into your house and you don't have to let them in but when a person doesn't know the law, they will bully/intimidate you into getting their way...that's basically what was happening
@user-ej8mv5qm6n yep. Not sure if you're from States or not, but the black community here in UK is huge. We've always been here but seems people in States are only just realising this!!!!!!
@@akooakoo629 No. My comment was in reference to the coupling of the Michael and Dionne characters. I know there’s a Black community in the UK. But in tv and film coming from the UK there’s a lot of interracial pairings. Obviously, Black British are mating within the group. However, that representation seems to APPEAR less than interracial ones. Also it’s not that Americans DIDN’T know you exist. YOU were exposed to Black Americans by a heavy export of North American media. That was NOT the case on this side of the pond. As matter of fact, a lot of our exposure to Black Brits were after one of you played an AMERICAN character. I’ll wrap it up like this. I am enjoying SUPACELL, which is a very BLACK BRITISH show.
The "debt collector" folk rely on your ignorance. If you don't know your rights, they'll walk all over you and abuse their power. There's some dude on Tik Tok who does videos where he exposes them and prrotects unsuspecting folk from falling into their trap. With Andre, given his situation as an ex-convict, he didn't necessarily have any leverage and they had the upper hand over him.
I remember that show where they had “debt collectors” come into peoples houses and just take stuff lmao. I thought by law it was okay because the show normalised it to me 💀😂
I love the realistic nature of how the characters are portrayed. They make silly decisions that frustrates the audience because we are conditioned by DC and Marvel universe to see superheroes as one dimensional characters; either altruistic beings or villains . We rarely see them as complicated beings who live in the grey. The human quality of these characters is what we are drawn to. We need more of it.
In regards to what you said about more super powers. You can tell in the future scene when they are together you can see they have all mastered their powers and that’s the REAL superpower action. I can’t wait for the next season 💛
In regards to Black Names in the UK. We tend to come from all over, for most immigrants coming from African countries we will have a last name from our country, but a lot of Caribbean families have “white” sounding names due to the nature of the slave trade, so Clifton isn’t too far of a stretch. Same with Black people coming from countries like SA or other heavily colonised african countries. My family is from SA and our last name is Hudson, my grandma wanted to marry a white british man so her and my dad fled SA in the 70’s.
As you kno there were already black people in some of these countries. However, when they decided to enslave and shipped more Africans over they were essentially shipped everywhere in the Caribbeans and a large portion of the Western Hemisphere! Some black people also migrated to other countries to get away from chattle slavery! We are from America and there is a large number of different groups but for you to actually have a deep discussion would depend on your family tree, and what city, state or school you live in or went too!
34:20 i like everything Rekkai was saying about the pacing. Yeah it could have a bit more action but the character development and world building is akin to the Netflix Marvel series to me. Like DD, JJ, and Luke Cage.
I love the fact that Rapman found a way to explain why Black people have these powers. But i honestly crack up in realizing that the coat of their power is pretty much "The Itis" 🤣
@@7thangelz how do you know that. When did Andre go to jail?. Like his son said. He always knew who his dad was. And he said it with pride. You presume he had no involvement in his son. Can I ask why.
Those men that came into Andre's house were Bailiffs( Debt collectors)... Depends on how long the debt has been owed and im assuming the amount of money owned the debt collectors can get a letter from the high court similar to a police warrant to enter the property ... But even without a letter they are sneaky and once they step foot inside the property( Like leaving a door open or even just being naive and letting them enter and once inside they can look around and start taking things to cover the debt if it not paid there and then,, also if you had a drive way and a car was there they would clamp it).
When a collector came to my door, he lied on the intercom, claiming to be from the local council. I opened the door while holding a frying pan that I was washing. I wanted to see the so-called council worker buzzing my door. Then he tried to give me a document about whatever and I just looked at him. He was a big guy but I wasn't playing. He looked at the pan and heard me say, "What are you gonna do?" as I calmly used the sponge on the pan, maintaining eye contact with him. He placed his card on the floor and left. I guess he knew his job wasn't worth the pain he'd suffer trying to coerce his way into my home.
In the debts usually work like this... if you don't keep up payments with something, say your phone bill, your debt can be purchased by a debt collection agency, which will then try to get payment from you. In order for them to enter your property they have to have a warrant from a court. However there are limits to the warrant it only allows them to enter if they are let in or there is easy access, like an open door or window. Once they are in, they are legally allowed to execute the warrant and either you pay them or they take items to the value of your debt. All you have to do is keep the doors and windows closed. They can't force entry unless they have police, who also have to have a warrant of entry.
@rumplestiltsim1694 they are, but they're also pretty easy to deal with if you know the law. For example, if you want to prevent a bailiffs attendance, pay them £1 a month. They will be unable to say you're not paying.
I live in South West London and bicycle crime is high. People use scooters on the Roads even though it is not really allowed so yeah this seems too real. Wonder what Seasons 2 and 3 will bring.
No, debt collectors are like the Devil, you have to invite them in and because he opened the door for them, that was the problem, if he opened the door but stood in the doorway then they would not have the power to enter, plus he could have said he is not the person but a neighbour or something …
I think the reason your saying it’s slow is prob because your used to a US style of entertainment where it’s just action action action but we here in the uk like to build character and I like that we do it like that, we telling a story of real like, struggles and ups n downs, we are humanising the story with everyday struggles that we go through as black people … That park Michael and his girl sat in, that park is 2 mins from house, I ride through that park everyday and I used to live in those blocks, I like the fact Rapman telling a story ….
I wouldn’t say tazer has been making questionable decisions for normal ppl sure but in real life gang members or ppl that think they gang members would be doing the same thing if not something even more stupid
Presently the majority of black Britons' are of recent African ancestry so they don't have European last names. They have various African tribal familial names. the second largest black Brit group is of Caribbean ancestry and they tend to have European last names as a result of slavery.
I've watched all of the top boys episodes and that is probably still the best Black series that I have seen on Netflix! The last season was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I like to watch your reaction but this time there was a little to much talking for me Hope next time we can enjoy a bit more of the episodes with you. Thanks 🙏🏾
It don't matter bout ure skin in the UK, we don't have the same racial dynamic here in the UK as u do over there the way they divide us over here is by class (mixed race btw lol)...
I'm really struggling to finish this show. I want to like it, but the pacing is SO SLOW! We're 3.5 hours into this and they're almost about ready to meet and start working together? I just don't have that much time to waste waiting for the story to hopefully go somewhere.
In the UK we prefer slow and steady to fast and furious. Football where you can wait 90 mins for a goal as opposed to American football where if you blink you miss a score.
Just a heads up - Rekkai's deep dive premieres at 1 pm EST, as soon as this goes off - ruclips.net/video/Xm8ExEwbVOU/видео.html
Thank you bruv! I'M BACK!!!!! One of my most introspective deep dives as well!

I just love how this show portrays healthy black love between michael and dionne
Right!! And Black Brits as well?! This is very nice to see.
forreal i cried when he proposed i love them
The relationship was so beautifully portrayed 🖤

I’ll be honest, even me I live in London, the E-scooters made me burst out laughing too
Yeah they act like that. When Debt collectors came to my house they threatened to take the washing machine, my mum was furious.
In regards to what you said about more super powers. You can tell in the future scene when they are together you can see they have all mastered their powers and that’s the REAL superpower action. I can’t wait for the next season 💛
This us a show about people making wrong choices. How it affects them and others in their lives. So good.
I really love the pace and the backstory, it makes the series more relatable.

We have surnames names such as Jones, Williams, Benson, Arthur, Campbell , Bara-Hart and Wood in Lagos and Eastern part of Nigeria.

I look when y’all do it together. I’m happy y’all doing this one together. Love the show.
just to clarify, andre didn't raise him well, his mother did

After they smoke 🍃 their powers fade and they can’t use it. I realized that… interesting 🤔
Brits like their stories to unfold slow and steady. Very little flash and bang
9:52 im fucking crying 😂😂😂😂
Michael's girlfriend Adelayo Adedayois is from "Time Wasters". She played a totally different character. I almost didn't recognize her.
Hahaha if i see the surname Jenkins im thinking the person is Welsh before i think they are black.
I live in South West London and bicycle crime is high. People use scooters on the Roads even though it is not really allowed so yeah this seems too real.
Wonder what Seasons 2 and 3 will bring.
Glad your both reviewing!! superduo
6:50 more like restitution. The same way when convicts get out over here, there are "court fees" you owe or they can take you back to jail.
Great review.Thanks so much and sabrina is my favorite character
Been waitinggg 🥰🥰💗

Lol Johnson, Jackson and Jenkins are all very British names.
Been waiting for you do this
And also just think about why Rapman has done it in this realistic way 🤔 … for when we Do get our superpowers 👀 IJS

I want to go to a 4d Marvel movie now
Yeah debt collects are the worst
Thank you! I knew you want about to watch this while thingst rekkai!

It's the 2nd guy 😆. The previous episodes had less talking. Not just cos they are two , but the 2nd guy seems to talk alot.
