Blood Sisters

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.

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 movie is by far one of the best Nollywood x Netflix screen plays. For those of us who are AUTHENTICALLY Nigerian, it is an ode to our youth, the acting style, the story line speaks to the cultural differences. A must watch if you ask me.

I think it was great that they made four episodes for the span of this show.

What I liked: I loved how I was tense at every given second of watching this show. The music added to the suspense so it definitely had that thriller feel to it.

I love the premise of the show and though I have never watched the originial blood sisters nollywood movie, I liked this one.

Overall, I am glad I gave it a try.

What could have been better: I personally do think that though it is obviously an African movie, it was a bit westernized. In terms of some of the 'American' accents that were used that I found unnecessary.

The cursing was unneeded because I have met people who curse a lot but don't just incorporate it that unnecessarily into their sentences.

The sec scenes were too much and unnecessary for me. At some point I got annoyed.

The acting was good but there were some moments were I thought it could have been a bit better.

There some plot holes and the ending does not give a clear explanation as to what the end result is what I found quite disappointing.

I do feel that if you watch this show and use your brain, there will be some question marks popping up every here and then. So it's best not too think too much.

But because of the solid suspense, good premise, reasonable-good acting, I ended up giving this show 6 because I had no difficulties watching it. I literally binge watched it in two days.

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.
