My very positive impressions about this TV show can be summarize by three adjectives : fresh, (smartly) hilarious and optimistic. Fresh, because the atmosphere of this series is very light and delightful. You can not help yourself keep smiling while watching Mma Ramotswe and her assistant handle with the mysteries (often out of the ordinary) they have to solve. The african way of life described in this series, so peaceful and enthusiastic, is far from the vision of Africa currently broadcasted on TV.

Smartly hilarious because it is a comedy-drama which tries to fight against some prejudices related to man / woman relationships, xenophobia, homophobia, women rights, adultery, disability, etc. without any pathos but with a very bright - and british - sense of humour. All these issues are quite universal in fact, and are not only related to traditional societies. Our «western, post-modern societies» are also very concerned.

Finally, the series look at Africa from an optimistic and positive perspective. This «afroptimism» is so rare on TV, therefore for someone like me who see a great future for Africa, it is very pleasant to watch a tv show like this one. I advise you to take a look at this addictive TV show, and you will discover an endearing and counter-current vision of Africa.
