The episode Down Street of Neverwhere season 1 is a thrilling adventure that takes the viewers on a ride through the underground world of London. The episode is named after the abandoned Down Street tube station, which serves as the entrance to the Underside - a dangerous and mysterious world that is hidden below the city's streets.

The plot revolves around Richard Mayhew, the show's protagonist, who is on a mission to help Door (the girl he met in the first episode) find the Angel Islington. To do so, they must first find the Black Friars, a group of monks who are rumored to possess a key that will unlock the way to the angel.

The episode starts with Richard, Door, and their new ally Hunter (a deadly warrior) sneaking into the Down Street station in search of the Black Friars. The trio soon discovers that the station is not abandoned and that it is currently occupied by a mysterious group of people who call themselves the "Sewer Folk."

The Sewer Folk are a group of people who have been living in the Underneath for generations, and they are not pleased with the visitors' presence. The group's leader, Old Bailey, warns the trio that the Black Friars are dangerous and that they should leave immediately.

Despite the warning, Richard and his companions continue their search for the Black Friars. During their journey through the dark tunnels, they encounter many dangers, including deadly traps and terrifying creatures that lurk in the shadows.

As they delve deeper into the Underneath, the trio also learns more about the history and culture of the Sewer Folk. They discover that the group has its own set of rules and traditions and that they are at odds with other groups that occupy the Underneath.

However, their biggest challenge comes when they finally come face to face with the Black Friars. The group is known for its ability to transform anything into gold, and they are not willing to part with their secret.

Richard and his companions must use all of their wits and skills to outsmart the Black Friars and obtain the key that will lead them to the angel. In the end, they succeed, but not without consequences.

The episode Down Street is a fantastic addition to the Neverwhere series. It is filled with suspense, peril, and adventure, and it gives viewers a glimpse into the intricate world-building that Neil Gaiman is known for. The acting is superb, and the special effects are top-notch, making it a must-watch for any fans of fantasy or science fiction.
