Three Little Birds

Absolutely loved this series and hope they make season 2. This was a powerful, moving and in several scenes, very upsetting to watch how these lovely people were racially and physically abused....it was so sad to watch and I am ashamed that a lot of people in this country were so discriminatory The actors were all marvellous, the storylines well scripted and the costumes simply fantastic I am so glad I watched this series as it educated me how the Windrush generation were treated Sir Lenny Henry created and wrote this and am so impressed as it was so well made - really well done everyone indeed!!

Sensational. I just love the film sets, costumes, acting and scripts. I am seriously binge watching this series! Filmed in the black country with an accurate description of why it is called the black country. Set in the windrush era, this series shares history of what life was like for Caribbean immigrants relocating to the UK. A story that I wanted to hear with superb characters. The film sets and cars, shops and homes look authentically 1950s. And wow Dudley zoo features! Not to be missed. I hope the series continues and the characters develop. No hidden ethnic agendas here, pure history and its beautifully done!

I love this series, and think most people would learn something about the lives of the people who emigrated here. Somehow it manages to balance real life and drama to make a watchable and enjoyable series. It is of course heartbreaking at times and sadly some of the views held by people in this drama are not that far removed from some people still today. However it makes the characters so joyful, resilient and fun that it is by no means a struggle to watch and the human spirit shines through. It is beautifully set and the costumes are fantastic. I really hope for another series featuring some of these wonderful characters.

Good Job Sir Lenny!

I didn't know if I would be able to watch this. After the first episode I was so saddened. I grew up in Birmingham in the 50's and 60's and never became aware that black people were treated this badly. I was young and oblivious. Of cause in later years everyone became aware. My parents did not discriminate against people of colour. I took all my friends home and all were treated the same. That memory makes me proud. I ended up watching all of the series and was left wanting more. So please Lenny, don't leave us hanging. It was amazing. I'd like it to be like call the midwife and just keep going and going.

It reminds me of the stories that my mom and other older family members would talk about. They were from Arkansas and Louisiana who migrated to Oakland, Alameda California in the 1950's.

Black people of African descent have the SAME experience no matter where they came from; Caribbean or United States.

Also, the white (European) HATE that was and continues to be prevalent this world especially against Black people of African descent.

But as the world can see by watching this series , which is so fantastic that Black people continue to rise and be the beautiful, strong, determined people they/we are.
