The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency
The first and foremost impression the series leaves is color. The images created on the screen are just amazing. The landscape, the animals, the people, the buildings and everything that makes up everyday life are used to great effect, and your eyes feast on it.
The characters (and actors) are lovely. First and foremost, there is detective Mma. Precious Ramotswe (US singer Jill Scott), a traditionally built woman who solves her cases with wisdom, intuition, common sense and a great deal of compassion. Her secretary/assistant, Mma. Grace Makutsi (Anika Noni Rose), is insecure, yet determined, and very comical. And then there is Mr. J. L. B. Matekoni (Lucian Msamati), owner of Speedy Motors garage and Mma. Ramotswe’s shy and reliable suitor. Each of these is very engaging, and I rooted for them even after the first episode.
What I also like a lot is the way the books’ optimism is conveyed. Alexander McCall Smith paints a very positive image of Botswana’s society, and while this outlook is dominant in the series, too, it never gets saccharine. Serious problems like AIDS and dark magic are alluded to, but they don’t overpower.
I am looking forward very much to watching the last two episodes, and hope the series will be continued. Have any of you watched it, and what did you think of it?

I saw a lot of website but I believe this one holds something extra in it. “Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.” by William James.
I absolutely LOVE the cover, but it’s Vicki’s work, so I would be preordering it regardless!

Its like you learn my thoughts! You seem to grasp so much about this, such as you wrote the e book in it or something. I think that you can do with some p.c. to pressure the message home a bit, but other than that, this is magnificent blog. A great read. I’ll certainly be back.
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your site? My blog is in the very same area of interest as yours and my visitors would genuinely benefit from a lot of the information you present here. Please let me know if this okay with you. Regards!
Greetings! I’ve been reading your web site for some time now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from New Caney Tx! Just wanted to mention keep up the fantastic job!
Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? With thanks
Nice blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your design. Many thanks
A lot of of whatever you mention happens to be astonishingly precise and it makes me wonder why I had not looked at this in this light before. This article truly did turn the light on for me personally as far as this specific subject goes. However at this time there is 1 issue I am not too cozy with and whilst I attempt to reconcile that with the core theme of your position, allow me observe just what all the rest of your subscribers have to point out.Very well done.
Hey there! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My weblog looks weird when browsing from my iphone4. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to resolve this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share. Appreciate it!
Hey there! I’ve been following your web site for some time now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Austin Texas! Just wanted to say keep up the excellent work!
The series was canceled due to poor ratings after the 2009 season. I was stunned. It had excellent acting, interesting scripts, terrific locale. It was something new and different for television. At least we have those first two seasons to look back on.
Sadly, RIke, I believe HBO declined to make additional episodes.
I thought these books were marvelous. You’re reading along, thinking they are just a nice, cozy mystery series, when AMS hits you between the eyes with something so true, so touching, that you just stop in your tracks. I also love his loving yet realistic depiction of Botswana.
Do you know if there are any more episodes planned?
As an aside: I watched the show in German, and the next evening I watched “The Closer”. They use the same dubbing speaker for Kyra Sedgwick as they use for Anika Noni Rose! Considering how wildly different the characters are, realising this was hilarious!
Rike, I couldn’t read the books at all! I stalled out every time I tried. BUT I loved the TV show which was broadcast here in the U.S. over HBO. I just wish there were more of them!
