Three Little Birds

I didn't know if I would be able to watch this. After the first episode I was so saddened. I grew up in Birmingham in the 50's and 60's and never became aware that black people were treated this badly. I was young and oblivious. Of cause in later years everyone became aware. My parents did not discriminate against people of colour. I took all my friends home and all were treated the same. That memory makes me proud. I ended up watching all of the series and was left wanting more. So please Lenny, don't leave us hanging. It was amazing. I'd like it to be like call the midwife and just keep going and going.

Watched mainly for when it occurred. The soundtrack was excellent, nightclubs scenes dancing were good. The casting was excellent. The storyline was interesting, and while a bit depressing, the prejudice storyline, was integral too,as it wasn't any different in England than the USA. The wardrobe ,and the zoo were excellent, had that vibe from the 50's. The church scenes and the conversations were so familiar, as I worked with many and even attended church with them,. The culture felt so familiar. The sexual harassment was so sad. One down side it seemed, was the lesbian relationship was shoehorned in make the show politically correct. That seems to be the norm though anymore. Hoping there is a second season.

It reminds me of the stories that my mom and other older family members would talk about. They were from Arkansas and Louisiana who migrated to Oakland, Alameda California in the 1950's.

Black people of African descent have the SAME experience no matter where they came from; Caribbean or United States.

Also, the white (European) HATE that was and continues to be prevalent this world especially against Black people of African descent.

But as the world can see by watching this series , which is so fantastic that Black people continue to rise and be the beautiful, strong, determined people they/we are.

From the screenplay, to the casting, the set design to the costumes this is an outstanding series. There is not long to wait before this series gets straight into the action. Persevering through hardship and adversity, not to mention near-death experiences that should, we hope, be quite difficult to imagine for modern-day British citizens, this group of incredible women overcome. With grace and humility, and a huge dose if sheer grit and determination. I would gladly watch this again and really hope theres a season two in the pipeline. Britain at that time may not have had segregation in name, but it certainly had it in practice. I hope this gets shown in schools for GCSE History, Sociology or one of the other Humanities courses.

This is a painful reminder of what the Windrush generation experienced. The sad thing about this series is it wasn't based on fiction. The acting was actually brilliant, the story line was interesting and gripping. The sad thing about it is elements of this film still exist today.

Two sisters Leah and Chantrelle and their acquaintance Hosanna catch a steamboat from Saint Ann Parish in Jamaica to the United Kingdom, arriving in London's Notting Hill before moving to the Midlands.

In December 2020, it was announced ITV had commissioned Three Little Birds from Lenny Henry, who would write and executive produce the six-part fictionalisation of his mother Winifred's stories. Russell T Davies was attached to the project as a script consultant and executive producer. Also set to executive produce were Angela Ferreira of Douglas Road Productions, Lucy Bedford of Tiger Aspect Productions, and Diederick Santer of BritBox International

Can't wait for the next series.
