Get Millie Black

I am joining to the ones who gave 10/10 for this series. Raw and tangible, keeps your attention awake from the first scene to... The whole story is very real, the actors makes it more credible. You can feel that this is the true face of Kingston in Jamaica. Bright skins in a hot climate, ruined walls of houses in a poor capital.

This series put Jamaican films in the movie business. It is on the same level with True detectives 1st and The Major of Kingstone.

What a different point of view to see Jamaica from the mainland instead of the oceanview resorts. It is also refreshing to watch real Jamaican faces!

I don't understand this low rating nor the lack of ratings. Is everybody just watching some holywood lemonades? It is still new, but fearing it might go undetected.

This is finally a good crime drama cop show. The kinda that slaps you in your face saying this can be very very real.

Well, at least for now and hopefully will stay like that. Kinda refreshing... didn't watch a good crime show in a while. It is dark and raw but It is still a classic. Classic story plot hidding there.

And every actor is playing their role perfectly, nice job in selecting them. Also the picturesque Jamaica and it's gheto, whoa!!

I thought this was a really good series and couldn't believe the low 6.5 rating in IMDb. I am a fan of police/crime/thriller/mystery dramas, however so many are mundane, formulaic, and predictable. So I welcomed this series which was a refreshing break from the formulaic stuff being churned out nowadays. I thought it fast-paced and believable with clever and moving interwoven plotlines.

I did have a problem understanding the Jamaican dialect which I'm not accustomed to and wished subtitles had been provided (not available with my edition). Yet one still cares about the main protagonists and what will happen to them. I did lose a sense of plot twists occasionally but that didn't affect my overall enjoyment of the series. I'm already on the lookout for Season 2.

Millie-Jean Black grew up in The UK, but was originally born in Kingston, Jamaica, until she clashes with her mother and was sent to London. After a tough time in The Met, Millie returns to Jamaica, where she's investigating murder, abduction and trying to help her sister.

I loved that this felt different, unlike any other procedural cop show I've seen in ages, it's well paced, intriguing, has several actions scenes, it just manages to keep you interested.

I really did enjoy the look at West Indian, Jamaican culture, very interesting and refreshing, and whilst it did spend a lot of time criticising British culture, it's just worth pondering attitudes on being gay in both countries, one is hugely accepting, one isn't. I don't think the writer ignored that, to his credit.

Tamara Lawrence did an excellent job, I really hope we get to see more Millie Black.

8/10.

I am really loving this TV series so far! The representation of ethnic diversity is commendable, adding depth to the storytelling that resonates with viewers from various backgrounds. The plot has been engaging, keeping me hooked with every episode, and I eagerly anticipate what happens next. The characters are well-developed, relatable, and authentic in their experiences. This concept is refreshing and highlights cultural nuances that deserve to be celebrated. It makes me proud of my Jamaican heritage and showcases the beauty of our culture. I hope the show continues on this fantastic trajectory!
