Review of Parish

Parish (2024– )
1/10
Incorrect portrayal of the zimbabwean shona culture
7 April 2024
As someone who is shona, I was thrown off by the misrepresentation of our language and culture. If you are going to try to act a movie based on other people's culture then please represent it well. I didnt even finish the first episode because of how our language was distorted and not in a good way. I love my language and I feel the series disrespected it. I don't think I will watch this series. Its so fake.

Another thing is, this movie is said to represent Zimbabwe, I do not see anything Zimbabwean in it. I tried to look at all Zimbabwean cities to see which one can be close to Parish but I couldn't find one. I am sorry but I do not know which country this series is trying to portray but its definitely not Zimbabwe. Its very offensive the way the series portrays the Shona language.
