Becoming Abi

I personally appreciate the acting performance of the entire crew and how they're able to perfectly portrayed the advertising environment. The chemistry between Abi and Joyce was astounding and their scenes together are always one to look out for in the series.

The production crew did a good job of capturing stunning settings that represents the advertising world. Through the storytelling the producers was a beam light into the relatable workplace experiences. The writer did a good job of showing us Abi's rise through the world of advertising. She got her first role as client service personnel at a leading advertising fame in Lagos, Creative Lens Group where she met Joyce her colleague and office bestie. She must navigate a new environment she has find herself while she make friends and she also get to learn that her Bimbo is over demanding.

The title "becoming abi" got me real good that I wanted to know what's up after reading about the series online. I recently stumbled on this 6 episode series from a thread online and decided to check it out. At first, I wasn't going to watch not until I found out the story was Created and Written by: Bolu Essien. With a different combination of fine actors and actresses.

The story is inspiring, and indeed every bit of the story (I don't want to start personal issues and experiences here in public)

NO SPOILER. It would be best if you watched it it's exciting and worth my time. Go, Check it out!

Classic tale of "I have money so I can make my own series and cast myself as the star since I am paying for it".

Who start a series with spoilers???

I am not going to lie, this story had a lot of great potentials owing to the fact that it was focus on social media tech as it emerges in our recent world which have never been centred in a Nigerian story. Overall, the character development was very poor, the story arc was almost linear, terrible subplots which was a huge mistake considering the calibre of actors playing supporting roles.

They highs were the beautiful editing and colouring, Akah, Stan Nze and Big Mummy.

I wanted more.
