Get Millie Black

Does anyone know the definition of a sleeper anymore?! Because this is it...a bona fide diamond in the rough! I just started watching this show on a whim and was whisked away into a mind-blowing crime-drama adventure! I was delighted to see the subtitles to preserve the authentic and beautiful dialect of patois, and equally shocked and taken in by the plight of the LGBTQIA+ community in a culture that is criminally hostile to them. To be honest, I was surprised this marginalized segment of people got the proper story they deserve, so that others can witness how they have to live and die at the hands of so-called humans who act as judge, jury, and executioner over them for simply living and loving as they see fit. The show is a beautifully crafted and rendered in film as it is etched on the heart. Breath-taking! The Black-led cast of Tamara Lawrence, Chyna McQueen, and Gershwin Eustache, Jr. Are magnificent! The idea of telingl each episode from the perspective of a different character is not new, but makes for fabulous story-telling! I'm hooked and will be here for the full ride!

I am really loving this TV series so far! The representation of ethnic diversity is commendable, adding depth to the storytelling that resonates with viewers from various backgrounds. The plot has been engaging, keeping me hooked with every episode, and I eagerly anticipate what happens next. The characters are well-developed, relatable, and authentic in their experiences. This concept is refreshing and highlights cultural nuances that deserve to be celebrated. It makes me proud of my Jamaican heritage and showcases the beauty of our culture. I hope the show continues on this fantastic trajectory!

Some things are hard for me to stomach, some scenes cause me discomfort but, the show overall is good, so far. Have to ignore the tom foolery and you'll enjoy it. I don't think certain people will care for much of it because it does not shy away from race. An accurate depiction if you ask me. The characters feel very real, I cant think of any character that plays any sort of noticeable role that does not feel authentic. Well, maybe the main character in a way, as everyone feels as if they are life long, born and raised in Jamaica, Jamaicans, Miller, doesn't. Wait a segundo, she was born there but!......this is a pretty good watch.

Millie-Jean Black grew up in The UK, but was originally born in Kingston, Jamaica, until she clashes with her mother and was sent to London. After a tough time in The Met, Millie returns to Jamaica, where she's investigating murder, abduction and trying to help her sister.

I loved that this felt different, unlike any other procedural cop show I've seen in ages, it's well paced, intriguing, has several actions scenes, it just manages to keep you interested.

I really did enjoy the look at West Indian, Jamaican culture, very interesting and refreshing, and whilst it did spend a lot of time criticising British culture, it's just worth pondering attitudes on being gay in both countries, one is hugely accepting, one isn't. I don't think the writer ignored that, to his credit.

Tamara Lawrence did an excellent job, I really hope we get to see more Millie Black.

8/10.

I don't understand this low rating nor the lack of ratings. Is everybody just watching some holywood lemonades? It is still new, but fearing it might go undetected.

This is finally a good crime drama cop show. The kinda that slaps you in your face saying this can be very very real.

Well, at least for now and hopefully will stay like that. Kinda refreshing... didn't watch a good crime show in a while. It is dark and raw but It is still a classic. Classic story plot hidding there.

And every actor is playing their role perfectly, nice job in selecting them. Also the picturesque Jamaica and it's gheto, whoa!!
