This series was fantastic to watch. Engaging, informative, and cinematic.
And I do mean cinematic.
If you're someone who gets stuck and can't see past details that truly don't subtract from the experience then, sure, this isn't for you. But then again, any good story requires the listener to have a basic imagination and interest in being challenged.
For weeks I've been searching for something that was different to the gruelling, repetitive nonsense of most action shows on any streaming service till I came across this, purely by accident. A hidden gem of storytelling and a few creative liberties.
Having all female experts discussing this history and sharing the story of a truly strong, powerful woman was an amazing experience. Especially the archivist and the African Queen - the cultural and historical depth of their input cannot be understated.
So, obviously, if strong women scare you, best give this one a miss.
The story told is harrowing and the show gives their best to get you to see the world through her eyes and to at least rationalise, if not sympathise, with the decisions that are made.
A wonderful story, with solid effort put into the storytelling. I hope Netflix produce more series and stories like this.
