The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency S01 E02

[@kayblinebury4414]

I love this show. What I don't love are all the interruptions from youtube ads. Way too many ads

[@felixotoo100]

You'd be amazed I haven't put a single ad on any of my uploads, nor do I profit from them. KZbin simply imposed them To avoid those annoying ads, you could skip all the way to the end (drag seeker to end➡️) then replay↩️. Or perhaps install an adblock

[@Bayouma777]

KZbin selects where and how many ads to place on all videos. Unfortunately the person that posts the videos has no control over that, it's all KZbin. These ads help to keep KZbin free for viewers, just the same as commercials on regular television.

[@karolinesmith6119]

I have no ads... Excellent uploads

Very Nice!!! Jill Scott does a Fabulous Job! She's has Perfected the Accent!!! WELL DONE!!!❤❤❤❤❤

i saw the pilot for this show last night and i fell in love with it! Jill Scott is fabulous in this!!!

[@LadonnaLindley]

What a delightful and distinctive difference from American detective stories, Very well done and enjoyable

[@pumpkingirl1907]

I love this Series of books. The show does the books justice!!

[@eyg2207]

I wish this show were still on It's truly one of the best.

[@patriciarossman8653]

I'd been reading the series for years before it became a series. Needless to say, it's delightful!

[@theseustoo]

LOL! "It's been a very long time since someone compared me to an antelope!" I love the sense of humor in this show! :D

[@IsaDesOsiers]

I am so so grateful to Kojo Otoo and others who have posted this series to KZbin. I watched it quite a number of years ago and fell in love with it. Watched again maybe a year later, still hoping as were others worldwide that it would be renewed, as there are many books in the series upon which this series is bases. To rediscover it during lockdown and this horrible worldwide pandemic is simply a delight!!! Jill Scott and the ensemble of actors are a treat for every one of the six episodes. No one can explain why this series was cancelled, I have searched the internet for years. Bring it back!!! Fans worldwide will be thankful! But with the same cast, which is everything! Why not?

[@creatrixZBD]

too ahead of it's time, too wholesome. it's a hidden gem that I always reference when ppl start complaining there was never any "representation" (offensive term imho).

[@lzrd8460]

Yes, please bring it back. 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

[@charlottewilliams7866]

I, too, love this series! I read the books many years ago after being introduced to them by my mother. We both enjoyed the obvious love the author had for the country and the culture. He created wonderful characters that I hope are based on real people he knew in Botswana. I am in love with that country because of this series! But I must say I am afraid to go there because it may not live up to the beauty and kindness of these characters and their culture. Can anyone reassure me that this is an accurate portrayal of Botswana and its people?

Jill Scott is excellent in this series. To have embodied this character and all the mannerisms of the character is sublime. I watched the original when it first came out in 2008 (sic) on BBC. It is still enjoyable today. Well done Jill and the others.

[@sarahthompson7851]

I’ve been to Botswana 🇧🇼 several times and Jill Scott has nailed the accent- bravo!

[@creatrixZBD]

Grace (both the character and the actor who plays her) is such a gem. The way her fear of hospitals and the underlying pressure of her sick brother, and their unspoken-but-obvious-from-context rough upbringing comes through underneath the situation is powerful. The nuanced deep fear, and reticence in her voice and expression when Precious asks her to sit in that hospital ward.... superlative acting

[@sandraobrien8705]

Can you imagine trying to make this today though? Everyone gets offended by everything, so, it would be just a shell of what this series is. The WOKE people would have this ripped to shreds and it would never see daylight or would be unrecognizable.
