Very very strange musical style to the show which makes no sense at all, kind of like it's tried to replicate shiros story and blue story while trying to be like top boy/kidulthood at the same time. Once again Amazon making a series look good with awful film makers, writers and producers you can't stick good actors in a awful show and just expect it to work. Everytime you think the show is about to get good they do another one of the stupid musical cut scenes and try and make it into some unique style of their own and it just fails miserably I honestly think Amazon need to hire better people to decide on good ideas and better produced film/series. Netflix seems to get it right with everything they put effort into and I can't understand why the richest company in the world is struggling so hard to make anything that isn't cheesy.

I watched episode 1 - 6 and all I can say is this is a bold series that honestly deals with some deep issues and trauma. Being effected by gang violence myself, the topics resonated with me 1000%. Action and consequence. This isn't a series for everybody but everybody can learn from it. It highlights the push pull effect of gang/street life and shows what the end result is. Misery. The characters breaking into rap kept me ingaged and the cinematography was on another level. Well done guys. I really felt this was a brilliant show with so much to offer. More of this please, people can really learn something from this series.

Looking at it at first glance, I thought it was going to be a typical gangsta series. Boi was I completely wrong, it really moved my soul. Growing up in London it highlighted so much issues yet in the most compelling creative different way, I've never seen something done like this before. It's futuristic but still current with an amazing educational message throughout each scene. The writer really grasped the understanding of why the hood is the hood, creating our own culture. He made it in a way that 'everyone' can understand even if you come from a silver spoon. I'm pretty bad at understanding rap music generally however Jungle I understood everything the actors were saying. It's really breath taking, truly entertaining, worth a watch and you will not get bored you will surely be inspired.

Firstly I really had high hopes for 'jungle' It just wasn't as good as I was expecting. I know this sounds stupid , because it was literally a series showcasing the in's and out's of ''the ''hood but I was expecting less violence , not even less violence but less death. Secondly there was a an annoying cliff hanger at the end of ep3 jess got shot what happened to her did she die? Did she eventually go to hospital? Thirdly it felt like I watching two different shows (which made it quite difficult to follow) the first half is about stealing the watch and "GD". The second half is about Marcus helping himself, his brother and his mum to become a better version of themselves. Finally I was expecting more of biancas character. It's annoying how long it took to be introduced to bianca.

My expectations to what I eventually saw, astonishingly different. This cannot be compared to Top Boy because it is a completely different take on people's lives. I absolutely love the message behind this. Loved the concept of using vivid imagery to draw out our attention. Loved the portrayal of the characters. Love the many talking points and interpretations and need another show please! There are some who are used to the constant streaming of violent images and therefore would find deep meaningful dialogues bland and boring but at some point, they will need to sit up and start listening!!!

Slick imagery and rapping aside Jungle is such an interesting body of work. For years ive been saying we need a film/series that tackles issues we are facing as a community but in an entertaining none condescending way. And here we have jungle. I was blown away by the realness of this show. Yes, the world that it paints is highly stylised and a stretch of the imagination, but the concepts it deals with are as real and authentic as it gets. I loved how they switched the story after the first 3 eps. It provided a fresh look at an old problem - street life and all its casualties. I also loved the way the music - although dark at times helped push the narrative and storyline forward. Not all the actors where as strong as they could have been, but it was entertaining and enjoying to watch none the less. WE...NEED...MORE insightful shows like this. For us by us.

Jungle is well put, the aesthetic in the series is so eye catching , the show addresses the most unpleasant issues that happens in urban communities in the most straightforward realist way ,hearing the narrations of each and every episode is the real truth of being in the hood and of how life goes. DO NOT get me started on the acting . It was astonishingly phenomenal to say the least . My best advice would be to watch this with an open mind and ears as this is not just a story , it's reality. I love how characters communicate to each other through music and emotion , it was quintessential. The representation of POC and types of people you would normally see is excellent.

As I watched Jungle, it struck me how many times the characters said "furthermore..." either through dialogue, or during their raps. It stood out to me as a mad ting! (One of the other overused phrases in the show). I know musicals have been around for some time but, to me, there was too much Shiro's Story in this (if you haven't watched that, YouTube is your friend. Thank me later) but somehow, Shiro's Story manages to pull the mix of rap and dialogue off with aplomb, whereas Jungle fails miserably. It all feels very contrived and unnatural. Furthermore, while the beats are decent, the raps are sometimes poor and awkward-sounding. Whoever thought a musical Top Boy would work really misjudged things. Furthermore, some of the acting is poor and just not very convincing. Ezra Elliot as Gogo, and Seyi Andes-Pelumi as Danial were good I guess. And Poundz as Marcus was OK, but the rest of the cast fell flat for me. There was one standout scene in the entire show where, in a car in a car park, Gogo's character morphs into three versions of himself. That was well done. Furthermore, the neon-lights style of the whole show was gave it a different look. But that's not enough to save the show for me. As an overall package, this fall's desperately short. Furthermore, I don't get why there were two distinct stories here?! I can't see this being renewed for a second season...
