      Also why was Dele delegated to the role of a cook? It doesn’t make sense seeing a little boy making dishes that only an adult can cook.

    I have fallen in love with this show. It is sooo authentic. If it weren’t for covid-19 I probably wouldn’t have started to binge it. I was especially impressed by the conversation the nurses had in episode 3 at the lunch table regarding Africans and African-American attitudes towards each other. I thought that was very daring for them to go there and touch on that
    kudos to all who wrote that scene!!!!

      Its unfortunate that they removed the entire cast except for Abishola and Bob for the next and last season.
      They preemptively canceled this show.
      It brought in millions for the network, but, they stuck to the formula that networks have used for decades, which is to create sit com content centered around black culture, then, cancel the shows after they secure the time slot and money, and put white content in its place.
      Two great examples are 'Living Single', and, 'Half & Half'.
      Its unfortunate, but, the more we are told that things change related to equity, the worse they really are.
      This show is a wonder - hopefully another network will be allowed to move forward with it, with the full cast reinstated.
      The network revealed that Bob Hearts Abishola will also end following its upcoming fifth season. Nov 29, 2023

    Also Tunde and Olu were riots too, they played their roles perfectly well. Let’s not forget the two men Goodwin and Kofu who were also very funny in the show. Overall the casting was excellent amd the actors were all brilliant.

      A foreigner cannot portray a culture as well as a native except they've lived and experienced it. They can't greet with the right accent, give an exact portrayal of the people. There you have it

    I can only watch the shows where Billy Gardell was still chubby, he was then handsome. I know it wasn’t healthy for him to be that big but when he lost weight he looked emaciated and gaunt, with bags under his eyes, & bad posture as well. He could have lost his weight gradually instead it was drastically done hence his awful-looking face.
