King of Boys: The Return of the King

I started off a tad frustrated by the drawn out scenes and felt the first couple of episodes over indulged a bit in the excess time that comes with TV series hence the 8/10...However! The later episodes more than made up for the slow burn. In fact I don't remember much of the first episodes. All I can think of is the incredible plot twists and how the entire story came together into a stunning finale. Naija to the world y'all. I'm so proud 👏🏾

In terms of acting, this is one of the greatest movie I have watched. It took me back to the days of classical Nigerian movies were the acting was so pure and detailed. The storyline is immersive, and intriguing. Great movie.

I admire Kemi Adetiba. I think she's fantastic and Sola Sobawale is an amazing actress.

But if I will be honest, I thought this series was a bit weak. The way the story was told or the path it followed was weak, perhaps because it was made into a series.

From the start, the story seemed to drag. There were things I expected to happen (can't quite place my finger on what...not a filmmaker) but it just felt like certain things were missing, some things dragged, some things maybe unnecessary (some of the lighting/effects in some scenes) and there were scenes where the actor seemed tired.

There were unfulfilled expectations, and it made me wonder what the issue was because I remember I really liked the initial King of Boys (2018).

The only reason I'm not going to give this a 10 out of 10 star review is because I found the story lacking. Many of the major characters weren't fully explored and were therefore wasted, and some of the plot twists made absolutely no sense. That aside, this series is an exquisite work of art. Everything from the cast to the music was perfect. You couldn't ask for a better actors, or ask for more beautiful locations. The scenery is a marvel to behold. The wardrobe mouth watering. The acting was superb.... Charley Boy is a delight to watch on camera. This was a wonderful effort by Kemi Adetiba and I'm really happy I got a chance to watch this. Looking forward to more and I'm sure the stories will improve.

The cast selection was perfect, costumes on point and made a good villain 👏
