I want to watch Top Boy but do I need to watch Top Boy Summerhouse before I watch the 2 more recent series

I use to watch and love Jim'll fix it as a young lad, and I can say that I didn't think there was anything especially weird about his looks back then. Any opinions that he looked like a weirdo (or other description) are based solely on hindsight. Anyway, off topic.

Boiling Point (2021) - Philip Barantini’s single-take kitchen sink drama, starring Stephen Graham, is a real-time tour de force of heated tension. Burdened by personal problems, a testy head chef must keep his cool amid multiple crises during a hectic Christmastime service at his upscale restaurant .

Dunno, when you see old shows from the 70s and 80s bad taste seemed to be the thing.

i have seen old shows from the 70s and 80s, or, as I like to call them, shows I watched growing up. He was always creepy.

The most of them were creepy , Bob Monkhouse, Ted Rodgers, Les Dawson would all have had an air of sleaze about them.

Love Like the Falling Petals (2022) (Japanese) - An aspiring young photographer falls in love with a vibrant hairstylist. The future stretches before them -- until a twist of fate changes everything..

I couldn't make it past the first episode. I found it too tonally awkward.

Boiling Point. Good film but the catering industry will wince at the realism.
