Such a delightful series. Its high moral tone setts it apart from the run of the mill crime shows. However, it does it in a sincere comic vein.

I love this series. It’s one of the few shows where the adaptation quality is on par with the books! I watched this when it was originally on HBO and it’s still wonderfully done now. I had hopes that season 2 was going to happen since the set’s still up in Gaborone (last I checked online). But Mingella’s passing derailed the plans to go further. I’m glad the show’s up here so that more people can appreciate its brilliance and check out the books! 😁

Poor little old "ATSUN" pickup truck is running only on 3 cylinders the whole time. Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing this great series. Best regards luck and health in particular.

[@maryanneslater9675]

It's such a marvelous running gag. In one of the books, Precious Ramotswe has to renew the insurance/registration on the truck. In the blank for the vehicle's value, after a moment's consideration, she writes, "Sentimental."

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

@maryanneslater9675 Dear maryanneslater 👍👌👏 😁😁😁 Thanks for telling me. 2) In the real world her "boyfriend" (the master mechanic with his own shop) wouldn't let her drive this unreliable vehicle without fixing the engine first. At least if it was my "girlfriend". Best regards luck and health in particular.

The HBO Season 1 only covers the main themes of the first 5 books and it did a wonderful job though books are always better than what can be done on TV. So far there are 20 books in the No. 1 Ladies Detective series with the latest book released in 2020. If you are curious about what happens with all of Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi's adventures, get the books and you won't be disappointed!!

[@paulademichele1313]

Alexander McCall Smith is the best kind of storyteller - he can mix the comedy of the human condition with great human pain. It's fascinating to me to see how he handles this storyline - the pain on the face of Precious when Patel asks her if she's a parent and says "a childless woman must take the word of a parent." Her only child died. The theme of the young child hurt or lost continues when she learns about the kidnapped child in the car. And the end was not what I expected. Telling the client his wife was acting for the good of the son was an unexpected and compassionate act. Of course he knew the odds were it was not the truth - but Precious acknowledges what has happened in a way that allows the man something essential to his humanity - she allows him to save face. And probably save his marriage as well, at least for his son.

[@littlebrookreader949]

@ Hi! The name of the book I read is The Ladies’ No. 1 Detective Agency. I found it at a library book sale and loved it! I didn’t realize there were books to follow. When I found the tv series, I loved it all the more! When I realized the BBC had cut off the series, I just remembered how often they have done that very thing to other series in the past. One season, then comes the chopping block. It’s as if they want to spoon feed the public with frustration and more. No explanation leads one to wonder. I wish you well! ❤️Love and all best hopes, from Mississippi.

I had read Alexander McCall Smith’s books and thoroughly enjoyed them. Then I stumbled on these videos a couple of days ago. Immediate enchantment with the actors bringing the stories to even more life! There aren’t many movies I like better than the books, but these I do. I think it’s because the video brought the Botswanan lifestyle, culture and geography to life - another form of learning! Thank you! I read there is no plan for a Series 2. That is disappointing. I found the mysteries and their solutions fascinating - a bit of Sherlock with some extra twists.

That poor little pup 🥲

[@geebsMV]

I really liked the handling of cases up until now... (spoilers?) I was appalled at how she handled the cheating wife case. She says it’s not a court of law and yet she is making decisions for others? She had no right to spin a lie about the wife’s cheating, not even for the sake of the child. It’s clear the woman had been having an affair long before the child came into the picture, and although she didn’t have to divulge the fact the kid was borne from that affair because she didn’t have solid proof of it, she also didn’t need to justify her actions. A spouse has a right to know the truth and has a right to make his own choice. If they decided to stay together for the sake of the child then great! But it should’ve been their decision, not some random lady’s who is never going to see that kid or that family again.

[@StrongnBeautiful]

Agreed. It was unprofessional and unethical to kiss that woman's husband, as was her decision to cover the truth about the cheating wife. I chalked that one up to culture tho. You know how loving they are.

[@estherlule7049]

You are looking at it from the point of view of the west. In some African cultures, it would be handled differently from what you are used to. For example, a family might encourage a man to father a child with his sister in law if the husband fails. This is all so that he doesn't get embarrassed. And note that the husband is usually not in the know.
