Three Little Birds

Absolutely loved this series and hope they make season 2. This was a powerful, moving and in several scenes, very upsetting to watch how these lovely people were racially and physically abused....it was so sad to watch and I am ashamed that a lot of people in this country were so discriminatory The actors were all marvellous, the storylines well scripted and the costumes simply fantastic I am so glad I watched this series as it educated me how the Windrush generation were treated Sir Lenny Henry created and wrote this and am so impressed as it was so well made - really well done everyone indeed!!

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.

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.

Sensational. I just love the film sets, costumes, acting and scripts. I am seriously binge watching this series! Filmed in the black country with an accurate description of why it is called the black country. Set in the windrush era, this series shares history of what life was like for Caribbean immigrants relocating to the UK. A story that I wanted to hear with superb characters. The film sets and cars, shops and homes look authentically 1950s. And wow Dudley zoo features! Not to be missed. I hope the series continues and the characters develop. No hidden ethnic agendas here, pure history and its beautifully done!

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.
