    So good. I continue to find it depressing and not at all surprising that any show revolving around black storylines is immediately brigades by super lame people online. Oh well, their loss

    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.

    Queen Sono is a fun spy thriller that isn’t trying to answer too many questions about the meaning of life, which is sometimes exactly what you need.

    You could just watch Queen Sono as a standard piece of spy TV and there's fun to be had in that experience, but ... this is a far more complicated and immediate perspective than the one ever attempted by that Jennifer Garner favorite. Maybe Queen Sono isn't always exciting, but it's sometimes provocative in very real ways.
