Blood Sisters

Watch without a condescending mindset. Good story , needs a bit of brushing up and character development as the show goes on. But you're in for a thrill with some few twist that leaves you in suspense.

Blood sisters For a Nigerian mini series it had a lot of positives, that can make us turn our eyes from the negatives. The star studded cast was such a delight, because it wasn't star studded to bring audiences alone, but because they actually wanted stellar performances; it was also refreshing to see big names relegated to cameo roles (Toyin Abraham, Joke Silva, to name a few). The cinematography and direction was well-done. The locations were spot on, serving all of the aesthetic purposes they wanted to deliver. From the lush and grande setting the rich family had, to the makoko slums during the cat and mice chase... The attention to detail was lovely to see, they wanted the production to scream high budget, and it did. There was also enough characterization to keep audiences going.

I can't sing only praises for this production, even though I want to, the plot was wonky and so many parts weren't plausible. The pacing also didn't progress evenly.

This is a change from the norm though, and I get why many are excited, because this shows that nollywood still has hope.

Are we gonna talk about the nudity??? What??? That knocked me out! A Nigerian production and I was seeing naked derrières and boobs and nipples, what??? And before you decide to watch this because I added nudity, it appears sparingly, but, for a Nigerian production, it was a lot!

To conclude, blood sisters was an imperfect but enjoyable ride.

It's refreshingly different from the normal Nollywood flick.

The unpredictability of the storyline, the engaging dialogues and the character interpretation of the cast was superb.

I enjoyed every bit.

Although it took a minute to sink into the story, eventually, it caught on.

The cinematography was well done. The scene introduction and sound too.

For a local movie it's use of mother toungue where suitable, is well blended for international audience.

Lastly, I so love the subtlety of stars given minor role,s like cameos. That was interesting, lol. Toyin, Bayo (Hustle), Mama Joke Silvia, etc. I loved the pleasant surprise of their appearance.

All I can is, it's a far far improvement from the norm. Simple as that. The bar is set, hope it's maintained.

This is a great series that tells the African story in the most detailed way with actors that brought their best.

The cinematography, costume, dialogue, plot and acting is a beauty that is best seen than talked about.

There is an upward movement in quality, delivery, style and class in the series and it is certainly going to be a benchmark for multiple film and TV productions that will occur in the Nigerian movie industry.

Highly recommended.

I am not really a Nigerian movie buff but Blood Sister has given hope that the Nigerian movie industry can excel internationally just like the Nigerian music is doing. Yes. I have issues with the casting. How can Kate Henshaw who looks younger than her age play a mother role and Gabriel Afolayan plays her son? Also, an assassin with a gun and dagger was ruthlessly beaten by a dude in agbada attire? Come on!! The biggest win is the directing and cinematography which are out of this world. I will give it a 7 which I considered generous.
