Unwelcome investigation
Three years after her husband disappeared due to a plane crash in Congo, his 'widow' discovers faint traces that he may still be alive. She flies down to Africa and starts an investigation that may be clumsy (she does not even speak French), but her stubbornness takes her through in one piece somehow. What she finds is however not what she expected, and to unknown enemies, her investigation about the plane crash is not welcome...
Well entertaining TV series, at 8 episodes neither too short to develop a certain complexity and interesting characters, nor too long to maintain suspense. I watched it in only three days because I was eager to find out how it continues, a very good sign. Familiar faces among the actors include Charles Dance ('Game of Thrones'), Alex Kingston ('Doctor Who') and of course Kate Beckinsale ('Underworld').

Congo episonage
In spite of what a lot of other people say, I thought it was excellently made with a lot of twists & turns. It's about a widow, Kate, who thinks she sees her husband in a clip on the news who has been reported dead for 3 yrs but body never found. She goes on a quest to see if he is possibly alive & exactly what happened. Nothing is what it seems, her life is put in danger along w/friends who help in her quest for the truth. I figured out several conspiracies but the show keep me intrigued as you discover the corrupt agendas of the govt & people involved as the story plays out. You also see the deplorable side of the Congo rebels or milita killing innocents while they kidnap the children training them to be killers for their cause or just be the hired help. It's a suspenseful journey for truth & justice not just for the widow but for the oppressed!
Enjoyable Binge Treat
Watched it straight through while home sick with a virus going around. The Widow is not great, but is good and very enjoyable. I liked the actors and their characters, the themes about what is happening to the people of Africa due to greed, and the pacing. However, there are plot holes in places, and the ending seems rushed. And this is Africa but no wildlife? Bizarre. Still, the series was good company for a sick watcher and helped me get through.
Liked it but...
Pretty good tale, I watched it all the way through and found some of the twists and turns to be clever and compelling. That said, I feel like the writers relied way too heavily on the tired old mechanism of unnecessarily sending people off on their own into dangerous situations when there's no good reason to do so, just so something bad can happen... bleah, pure lazyness. I liked this okay but too many of those moments when you know something will go wrong, and it does.
A Tale of Africa
This story started off very well and can certainly be called a thriller, lots of intrigue and mystery. The scenery in the DRC is a true reflection of what the place really looks like, as well as the behavior of its notorious corrupted leaders, militia and elite citizens.
One can imagine truth in this story, but fortunately it is a fabricated tale and enjoyable to binge watch. Kate Beckinsale's performance was admirable, but the end plot less so.
Life in the DRC is not pleasant but many happenings seen in this series is based on fact.

¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesAlthough the series is set in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, that country was deemed too dangerous for cast and crew. Jungle and rural scenes were filmed in the KwaZulu province of South Africa and the interiors were shot in Cape Town. Filming in the former British colony of South Africa (now the Republic of South Africa) explains why the vehicles have right hand drive as in the United Kingdom.
- PifiasThere are a lot of strange uses of the French language and several African speakers have the wrong accent. Some have a nearly perfect France accent, others sound American, nearly none actually speaks like people from Rwanda (which has few French speakers) or DRC.
