once in a while, a series comes along that immediately grabs your attention, delights your senses every second of every minute, and leaves you smiling from ear to ear as the credits roll. 'the no. 1 ladies' detective agency' would be one of those.
the story centers around precious ramotswe, a woman who uses her inheritance after her father's death to open the only woman run detective agency in botswana. grammy award winner jill scott does a tremendous job bringing precious to life with a warm and natural charm. she is joined by an infallible supporting cast, my favourite being precious' incredibly loyal secretary, mma grace makutsi. played masterfully by anika noni rose, she is an absolute joy to watch, especially when paired with the talented scott.
based on the popular series of books by alexander mcccall smith, the series started off as a two hour movie produced and directed by anthony minghella and exec produced by sydney pollack. HBO then picked it up as a 7 episode series, but sadly, minghella and pollack passed away before that evolution. having left us with this visually, creatively and socially enthralling project, it only serves to show how much their enormous talents will be missed.
• 'the no. 1 ladies' detective agency' aired its two hour premiere tonight on HBO canada, with repetitions throughout the week. subsequent episodes will air on HBO canada sunday nights at 8 pm.
I think that to get the credit loans from creditors you must have a good motivation. But, one time I've got a bank loan, just because I was willing to buy a bike.
