Hans M @RT10236006 01/23/2023 Compelling characters. I liked the view it gave me of village life in Kenya. And of corporate life at its highest level. Being a fresh learner of the Swahili language I was happy to hearing it being used in practice. In contrast to another review, I am happy with the "drawn out" way the story is told – for a Netflix viewer who is not from the continent, detail helps to truly appreciate what's going on. Nothing has been solved or settled by the end of the last episode, so there should be a second season. But I'm glad I'm not to write it's script, because I really wouldn't know how to get the characters out of the terrible mess they're now all in. See more Read all reviews
