No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency
I Netflixed the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency since I saw someone on my flist talk about it a while back. (Don't remember who though.
aj?)
I really enjoyed it. If they made more, I would watch it. I thought it was charming, and while I'm not sure how authentic the perspective is (I know it was filmed in Botswana, but it was a BBC/HBO production with American and British actors), it was refreshing to see things approached from a different mindset. The sense of justice was vastly different to what I'm used to. Most the time it wasn't a vengeance kind of justice - it was a justice that could see beyond that to the bigger picture. I've not really seen that in shows and especially not in Hollywood shows.
If you like detective mysteries and are looking for something different, you might try it.
