Season 1 Review:
Between the speeches about colonial legacies and about historical atonement, there are plenty of throwdowns and chases and shootouts, staged with competence if not much flair. They tend to show up arbitrarily, on what feels like someone’s idea of an action-show timetable. When it’s time for a fight, there’s a fight. The pleasures of “Queen Sono” come outside of the action and the highly basic presentations of espionage and police work. They’re in the generally engaging performances.

Season 1 Review:
Series creator, writer, and director Kagiso Lediga will need to up the ante with his script, and, like his main character, take some risks, so that it’s less of a derivative of an American procedural peppered with “Africanisms,” and is instead unapologetically African. So consider “Queen Sono” version 1.0 of Netflix’s African Originals.
