Just finished the first (and only?) season and loved it! On the surface it seems like a carefree comedy/drama, but it's so much more. I felt it was actually deep and moving. I will not be able to review it as eloquently as it deserves so just take my word for it and watch it. It has everything - drama, comedy, romance, it'll make you cry, and hello, Samuel Adewunmi... My favorite characters were Queenie of course, but also Grandma and Frank. I loved them all actually (except all the random men). One of the best shows I've seen lately - and I'm hard to please! It was a little hard for me to understand at times so I had to use the subtitles lol.
After watching the show in it's entirety I can see why people would think the lead character is unlikeable initially, but once the story develops it shows her vulnerability, her struggle and strength which develops increasing that emotional connection and understanding who she really is and what's important in her life. You can see the tone of the program change half way through, it becomes less laughter and more dramatic, shot tighter to show more emotion and it felt more engaging. Overall it was a great watch, there was some exceptional acting it was easy to follow and well executed. Well done Onyx and Channel 4.
My Jamaican parents immigrated to the UK during the Windrush generation. My father was offered a job in the United States, so thy relocated to America. I was brought up in the U. S., and I am grateful for the opportunity that it has given my family. However, it was nice to see a realistic portrayal of a West Indian family living in England. The only time Jamaicans are portrayed in movies or shows, they are dreadlocked pseudo-rastafarian drug dealers, or brain-dead weed heads, who only know two words in English. "Yeah Mon!" FYI -English is the official language of Jamaica, and Jamaican patois is not a language. Queenie is a great film and a treat for West Indians.
This show comes out of the gate strong and it finishes strong too but somewhere in the middle you find yourself having to power through it. I'm noticing a trend of these single season shows where it's obvious they're ordering at least 8-10 episodes of a show but the writing only fits or more accurately would benefit from a show being shortened by at the very least 2 episodes. Here it shows up in the middle few episodes where it's clear we have an understanding of the title characters short comings, need for therapy, and self sabotaging behaviors, but since we have to drag this out 8 episodes they beat the dead horse. It just comes off as we have to stretch this out so get more episodes of our character spiraling instead of continuing the story organically.
I'm a White American Male in my 60's. So let's just say that I'm not sure the creators were thinking of someone like me when they were trying to market this series. But you know what? I really liked it. The reason? Because if something is very good, then it's very good, and it really doesn't matter what age, gender, etc. You are. And Queenie is very, very good.
It starts out on a more comedic tone, but then gets more serious. The writing is super-sharp, and the story is very interesting and poignant.
Right now, it appears this is just a one-off, but I sure hope they bring this back for a Season #2!
