Three Little Birds

Watched mainly for when it occurred. The soundtrack was excellent, nightclubs scenes dancing were good. The casting was excellent. The storyline was interesting, and while a bit depressing, the prejudice storyline, was integral too,as it wasn't any different in England than the USA. The wardrobe ,and the zoo were excellent, had that vibe from the 50's. The church scenes and the conversations were so familiar, as I worked with many and even attended church with them,. The culture felt so familiar. The sexual harassment was so sad. One down side it seemed, was the lesbian relationship was shoehorned in make the show politically correct. That seems to be the norm though anymore. Hoping there is a second season.

From the screenplay, to the casting, the set design to the costumes this is an outstanding series. There is not long to wait before this series gets straight into the action. Persevering through hardship and adversity, not to mention near-death experiences that should, we hope, be quite difficult to imagine for modern-day British citizens, this group of incredible women overcome. With grace and humility, and a huge dose if sheer grit and determination. I would gladly watch this again and really hope theres a season two in the pipeline. Britain at that time may not have had segregation in name, but it certainly had it in practice. I hope this gets shown in schools for GCSE History, Sociology or one of the other Humanities courses.

Three Little Birds is a triumph! Created by Lenny Henry the story set in the late 50s in Britain is well crafted and comes across as an authentic production for the period. All of the actors involved give superb performances enhanced by the direction and strong dialogue. Stand outs for me were the costumes, sets and props reinforcing the period of the story. Despite the challenges faced by the main ensemble of characters in the story, there's still a promise of hope and joy. Migration stories are important to tell and Three Little Birds is a valuable contribution to the story of Jamaican migration to the UK. Highly recommended.

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!!

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.
