Nigerians have to stop hyping a film just because it is made by one of their own. How else is the industry supposed to grow if we don't give honest reviews.

KOB2 had some interesting moments but basically it is just average. I've seen many more interesting old school and lower budget Nigerian movies with better acting too. For example, I really loved Sola Sobowale as Toyin Tomato in Superstory. That series is still memorable over 15+ years later. It left one aching to watch the next episode. There was little to no suspense or intrigue in the first 6 episodes of KOB2. I felt like I was "suffering myself" as they say. All the good stuff went into the final episode.

Also there's a lot of robotic English speaking. The actors should have been allowed to speak with their natural Nigerian accent so it flows. Some of the actors seemed so preoccupied with articulation that I think that sort off affected their acting. Even Sola Sobowale's acting went from good to electrifying whenever she spoke Yoruba or pidgin!

Also too many drawn out scenes that I had to fast forward, even though I was watching at 1.5 speed already.

All in all I will watch again if there is a KOB3.

I have struggled with this telenovela. The script is just too poor. I pity the actors. I just watched the wedding episode and was baffled as all the people in the Church pretended they couldn't see the dirty lady holding a baby and standing right beside the altar. Only Pablo could see her like she was a ghost..the other actors were made to look elsewhere. At that point I gave up on this shameless script. It's like an insult to the audience...
