'The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency': It's great...minus the whole 'Murder, She Wrote' vibe

I live in England and loved both the first installment and the 6 part series, like many others I am waiting to hear when the 2nd series will start? they have to continue it where they left off, I cannot believe they can just let the series die at the point where it ended.

The pace of the show is PERFECT! It doesn’t need to become the cliche of western television and drama with fast-paced action and one-liners that turn what should be drama ino absolute comedy and comedy into pathetic scenes (paging David Caruso’s Horatio Cane?). Real drama isn’t in break-neck speed cutaways and dizzily racing around; it’s in the interaction between people and watching that evolve, sometimes slowly and very deliberately. That’s what makes No. 1 Ladies so special and so wonderful! And, I’m not sure if we were watching the same show, but Anika Noni Rose shines through very brilliantly as Mma. Makutsi. She’s the sort of character you drink in slowly – perhaps like a nice cup of bush tea! – to fully experience all the flavors. These artists are doing WONDERFULLY with this show!

I would like to know when its is coming back on, please answer the question.

REFRESHING! I loved everything including the pace. Anyone one who knows African & Eastern cultures would understand the pace. Jill Scott is a true renaissance woman. She has earned her place at the top & No. 1 Ladies… is icing on the cake. Anika Noni Rose is rising steadily. I love her character. They really compliment each other. The mechanic has my heart. Thankfully, they didn’t cast a traditional Hollywood type in that role. The color and flare from the hair stylist is hilarious.
The illustrations and credits are marvelous. I’ll be looking for every episode and sharing the books with everyone.

Marvelous!! Anyone htat hasn’t read the books andis used ot ‘fast” tv is miising the whole point. The best thing about the whole series is that McCall captured the relaxed contented pace of life in semi-modern Africa. I’m from there so I know. My friends have gone back and despite less bucks prefer life there because it feels like “life’ — not so fast and stressful as America. Enjoy. When are they making the next set? Or even a movie (with more ‘real’ Africans please! There are good actors all over Africa – not just those living in Britain!!)

I’ve just watched the first two episodes and I LOVE it! It would be nice if it’s renewed, however as most of the Western world has been socially, emotionally and quite possibly physically Lobotomized the likelihood isn’t strong unfortunately. However I’ll certainly be on the lookout for it!

So refreshing to see a cast of people that isn’t as commonplace and dullas what were used to.
