Sakho & Mangane

I have enjoyed watching this very much despite of what some of the reviews said, I think it is a very good movie for a low budget movie (someone said). The only think that it lacks in my opinion is special effects for the mysticism scenes. Wakanda Forever! I can't wait to see season 2.

This series is a fresh, new and entertaining script. Some parts are funny, some serious, some magical. It combines perfectly the sights of Dakar in Senegal, the culture of this African nation, the detectivesque plot, the romance of young people. I really liked this series. I have seen so many American or British police/detectives series that this is a fresh approach, from a culture so distant to me that really entertains. Kudos to all the production team!

This is something alright. If you grew up watching low budget shows (90's and earlier) then you won't have an issue with this directive style. If you watched odd ball shows like supernatural or once upon a time (and far more) then you won't have a problem with the theme. What's gosh awful is the story, dialogue and acting (partly I assume due to the dialogue and directing).

I watched to the end but I kept hoping it would end. Yeah it made me laugh but not due to anything they did but because the show is so laughable. Nothing to be taken serious.

Again if you watched supernatural this is definitely up that alley of goofiness. Oh and do be sure to watch it in its original language. Although the English dub was more accurate than most it's still awful.

The creator of the movie Mass Seck a Senegalese director showed samples of the episodes to canal which in turn changed the names of the actors to make it their movies. Seck filed to sue canal for Plagiarism. All the evidences showed canal STOLE HIS WORK! It the grabbing culture of westerners even with intellectual properties. First it was Phillip Niang the creator according to Canal and then they said Jean Luc Herbulot created the series! The latter confirmed he didn't create the serie. They took his DIVISION X and turned it into Sakho and Mangane. Canal est entrain d'arracher les idees de jeunes africains pour en faire sa propre production. And the group canal pays the people in the justice system in senegal for example, to STEAL PROPERTIES OF AFRICANS.

Not perfect, far from it, but pure entertainment... humor, mystery, love, urbanism, mysticism....and a great way to discover West African culture, far from stereotypes. Great music, good photography. A Dakar never seen before on TV!
