I’ve just finished episode 3 as part of a staggered watch (I’ll be done by tonight) and it’s very good.

Well written, well directed, very attractive cast (Deborah Ayorinde really does it for me) and shows the opulent side of my home city, rather than the gritty estates and streets our writers prefer to highlight.

And they didn’t have to take us to Wartime England or the aristocracy to do it.

Even better, my culture is being highlighted and celebrated (as well as examined) to achieve this.

I just finished having watched over two nights and I absolutely loved it. The creator Abby Ajayi mentioned in an interview having been brought up watching the 80s soaps with her aunties but it's also like a modern Judith Krantz novel/mini-series with a dash of the best Shondaland storytelling thrown in.

The characterisation is great and Deborah Ayorinde is an absolute revelation as Nina. She owns every single scene she is in. And the story itself is loaded with soap staples but feels fresh and compulsively watchable. One of the finale cliffhangers actually made me gasp even though it's such a cliche of the genre. 

I really hope this gets renewed next year.
