Queen Sono

I watched the first chaotic but beautifully shot episode and decided not to continue feeling it had preteritions it could not deliver . After reading reviews, and ignoring the emotionally charged negative ones, I decided to give it a second chance, and I'm glad I did.

The plot an story line develops nicely, and holds attention. The acting in particular for the Queen Sono, Katerina, Shandy, and Connie characters is convincing, and the production value is superb. South Africa seems to be developing nicely in the film making industry,

At moments it lags, but not enough to stop one viewing. Generally this is an enjoyable journey and has a level of underlying depth in the narrative that makes one think, surprisingly. Definitely worth viewing, and I look forward to the next series.

It is Netflix's first African original series. It is about a young but extremely well trained African spy, who has a knack for successfully completing her missions but no policy of adhering to any rule. Alongside working for her nation, she is also on the continuous look out of finding her mother's assassins.

It's quite educative to watch an African series with an African protagonist in her local backdrop. Usually, we as the international audience are used to see Africa as a visiting or migrated location from other developed countries' protagonist's point of view.

It's also refreshing to hear dialogues in Zulu and Swahili. It's an interesting series.

African non biased Film om the triggering issues and the dilemmas of leadership on handling it. The inclusion of the storyline to fit the idea behind how the struggle is supported and how it is fought against. The richness of the land of Africa,and how greed and corruption is instigated to fill the coffers of the rich and powerful.

I was surprised how good the series was- I expected to like it because I love the genre, but it is exceptionally good. There's meat to the convictions of the character, and as someone from north america, it so good to here and see African viewpoints. Great cast, and story lines and an excellent pace - its starts at 100 and levels off around 120.

The show has a lot of action and sheds light on corruption going on in Africa. The storyline isn't hard to follow if you actually pay attention to what's going on. The audience does know why the main character does what she does, it's VERY clear why (again if you're actually paying attention). There is some bad acting that's why I didn't give it a full 10 stars but that's expected in Netflix series and this is their FIRST season. One of the 1 star reviewers does nothing but give low ratings to movies and shows and said they skipped through the show. How can you give such a low review if you didn't actually watch it? Also, fighting scenes are NEVER realistic in action packed spy-like shows or movies like this.

Anyway it's a good show and I will be watching the seasons to come.
