    An African review

    The narrator should be African, to tell our stories from the correct perspective.

    African names must be pronounced in our language and intonation because they carry deep meanings.

    Smacks of a colonial perspective when everyone, apart from the actors is non-African.

    Expected better from Netflix.

    Netflix, Africa must tell her own stories. That is a deal breaker. We can no longer turn a blind eye to the foreign telling of our history.

    Glad you have begun to share our stories pre and post slavery and the fact that's we fought for our freedom and independence for over 400 years.

    Some of us are still fighting today.

    African Queens

    Yeah, the fact is stay away this need to be a child's book or so. She or Jada Smith is way too delusional. She thinks that her view of the truth is. That's what Grandma tells her. I am done with this woke nonsense. I cancel Netflix and go to another platform. End of that.

    Yes, you get everything you want from this Document. The truth is the answer you are looking for. And many more. Sure you now know that sarcasm is a real thing.

    This is what i have to say and iam shame that iam living in those times here to defend my own race. Shame.

    Will Netflix spend same money on these narratives if told by its own folks?!

    This show seems like someone was not happy about history, so they just decided to ignore it and invent their own stories and outcast their imaginations as the "untold stories about African Queens" It is difficult to critique this kind of show because of its intriguing title and polarized context, despite being filled with so many lies and hoaxes.

    They have a strong layer of protection and defensiveness against criticism due to cultural appropriation and political correctness. The minute you post your opinion, it's either deleted or banned because someone is very much attached to their "sensitive" and "fragile" feeling and brutally attack back, and of course "win".

    This show is just lies that have been delivered to the public as truths. It shouldn't be praised, and the project should be shut down completely.

    For a show that has 5 episodes...

    ... it manages to be remarkably superficial - there's a distinct lack of detail, of character, of personality, of context, & analysis.

    The poor-quality dramatic sequences also do nothing for the supposed exploration of this figure, her culture, & her times.

    Everyone is shallowly sketched, & details are glossed over with great regularity

    It's astonishing that Ms Pinkett-Smith gave this first entry 5 parts- & yet the very format has limited the ability to go deeply into the subject...

    The drama & scope is limited, cliche, & trite- I found myself more drawn to books on the subject - where the character of Nzinga, her spirit, & sense of self comes far more alive, ironically, than in this live action docu-drama...

    Bad actors low budget

    It is indeed an interesting story to check it out, i love history and old times stories.. to tell you the truth i was waiting for this show to be released on netflix , then i started watching and i got lost quickly in the low budget acting and scenes ... they brought actors from england with english accent to represent african history... not one actor convinced me with his role or personality..... this show could be a great one on netflix if they worked hard but it was a flop ... you meet the Africans speaking UK accent ... then the Portuguese and the dutch have same accent ... oh i couldn't handle that anymore .
