Wasn't sure what to expect from this series. Found it to be a bit of an East London version of The Wire. It's only two seasons of 6 episodes. It has a great cast and the interaction of different cultures to the drug trade and how they deal with the law, informants and trying to get out.

Very enjoyable.

Set on the fictional Summerhouse housing estate in Hackney, East London, the series follows the lives of a group of people involved in drug dealing and street gangs. A second series began airing on 20 August 2013 on Channel 4.[1] The series aims to provide an insight into life in London estates, and how drugs affect everyone living there.
