Great story of a dystopian alternate reality , many similarities to apartheid south africa in here . As a white south africa growing up in apartheid, I saw so many similarities that I could relate to here. I find it odd that some reviewers on here give it a bad rating and then state that they just don't like the idea of the story and how offended they are by it, but then probably go off and are pretty happy to watch a show like "Man in the High castle" (an alternative reality where the Nazis rule the world). Clearly indicating their bias...
The story is over simplistic. Africa invaded Albion (England) 700 years ago, and whites are the oppressed and segregated. Throw in a mixed race love triangle with an aggressive bully. It's supposed to make you think, but is just a big cliche.
Firstly, the way the series set itself up was excellent, with scene setting and background to make the viewer understand that typical western race roles had been reversed through African conquest. However, the script-writers tried to shoehorn in too many lazy stereotypes that don't exist in the modern world. It would have made sense had this been set in 1900 London, as it would represent the equivalent reversal of 1900 colonialism. Set in the present day it felt like the writers were trying to make too many political points rather than a drama. Once one realises this it becomes more enjoyable, but it's so blatant that it spoils too many of the situations as they couldn't contain themselves.
On a more positive note the main characters were well played, and the family dynamics of the two main parts also excellent.
This adaptation of the alternate-history YA series made big waves in 2020 with its contemporary soundtrack, bold afro-futurist designs and cool cameos (the legendary Stormzy shows up). The second series feels like a strangely sad and flaccid afterthought, reduced to only four episodes and clearly shot under restrictions so most scenes are tedious two-or-three person conversations in empty streets. The first series, although clunky at times, had some momentum and felt in comparison like a lost golden dream. The only real throughline here is the evergreen Paterson Joseph as the increasingly erratic and maniacal leader of Albion, pushing for independence to suit his own ends. There is some intriguing world-building here but sadly it seems like unfortunate circumstances and strange decisions have rather sunk the prospects of further visits to this dimension.
A fantastic concept often let down by a somewhat clumsy and obvious storyline.
I love the concept and take great joy in the nuances and small details of the world. The adoption of African cultural dress and hair styles, the music, the ceremony, everything quintessentially English replaced by an alternative culture is so well done. The attention to detail is laudable........
......if only the characters and storyline weren't so hamfisted this would be a 10/10 show for me.
I guess the pedestrian nature of the actual plot is to do with the original text being aimed at young adults.
Back on a positive note though....anything that enrages the right wing, racists, Daily Mail readers, whining man-babies and angry man-boys has got to be worth supporting and this show certainly seems to have done just that.
Well done BBC :)
