Blood Sisters

I see people giving this movie a low rating for the weirdest reasons. Ramsey Nouahs role, the car he drove, minor plot holes. Really? We're just going to ignore the beautiful cinematography, the wonderful acting, the believable characters, the suspense, the actual effort put into making this? This series could very easily have been a movie. It was good and not just for "Nigerian standards" (whatever that means) Kate Henshaw, Ramsey Nouah, everyone handled their roles with grace. This was a beautiful production and I love how it ended. If we continue like this we may one day have a movie that truly competes internationally. This is a solid 6/10. But I'll gave it a 10/10 to balance out the unfair ratings.

There were some problems with the movie but overall it was a great watch. And it's really refreshing to see our actors showcase their talent. We've always suffered from horrible scripts/directing. This movie is a BIG step in the right direction. I love it! Season two? Nah.....More stories like this? Yes please!!!!

Blood sisters For a Nigerian mini series it had a lot of positives, that can make us turn our eyes from the negatives. The star studded cast was such a delight, because it wasn't star studded to bring audiences alone, but because they actually wanted stellar performances; it was also refreshing to see big names relegated to cameo roles (Toyin Abraham, Joke Silva, to name a few). The cinematography and direction was well-done. The locations were spot on, serving all of the aesthetic purposes they wanted to deliver. From the lush and grande setting the rich family had, to the makoko slums during the cat and mice chase... The attention to detail was lovely to see, they wanted the production to scream high budget, and it did. There was also enough characterization to keep audiences going.

I can't sing only praises for this production, even though I want to, the plot was wonky and so many parts weren't plausible. The pacing also didn't progress evenly.

This is a change from the norm though, and I get why many are excited, because this shows that nollywood still has hope.

Are we gonna talk about the nudity??? What??? That knocked me out! A Nigerian production and I was seeing naked derrières and boobs and nipples, what??? And before you decide to watch this because I added nudity, it appears sparingly, but, for a Nigerian production, it was a lot!

To conclude, blood sisters was an imperfect but enjoyable ride.

This is a great series that tells the African story in the most detailed way with actors that brought their best.

The cinematography, costume, dialogue, plot and acting is a beauty that is best seen than talked about.

There is an upward movement in quality, delivery, style and class in the series and it is certainly going to be a benchmark for multiple film and TV productions that will occur in the Nigerian movie industry.

Highly recommended.

I think it was great that they made four episodes for the span of this show.

What I liked: I loved how I was tense at every given second of watching this show. The music added to the suspense so it definitely had that thriller feel to it.

I love the premise of the show and though I have never watched the originial blood sisters nollywood movie, I liked this one.

Overall, I am glad I gave it a try.

What could have been better: I personally do think that though it is obviously an African movie, it was a bit westernized. In terms of some of the 'American' accents that were used that I found unnecessary.

The cursing was unneeded because I have met people who curse a lot but don't just incorporate it that unnecessarily into their sentences.

The sec scenes were too much and unnecessary for me. At some point I got annoyed.

The acting was good but there were some moments were I thought it could have been a bit better.

There some plot holes and the ending does not give a clear explanation as to what the end result is what I found quite disappointing.

I do feel that if you watch this show and use your brain, there will be some question marks popping up every here and then. So it's best not too think too much.

But because of the solid suspense, good premise, reasonable-good acting, I ended up giving this show 6 because I had no difficulties watching it. I literally binge watched it in two days.

I thought the cinematography was beautiful, I find the movie colorful and full of life. The chemistry between kemi and Sarah as best friends was unbelievably good!, nice pacing in the movie as well..looks more organized in terms of setting up each scenes. It's a brilliant movies and a win for nollywood and africa in general.
