    One of the most romantic scenes ever was the scene of the two leading characters meeting on the road, at night, not expecting to see each other, but wishing with all their hearts too be together. This scene proves that love scenes do not have to contain nudity, wild love making, ripping off each others clothing, etc. Sincerely,Bobbie.

    • @rethaf4387
      @rethaf4387 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Yes. During the scene, I thought: "What a pity that the two are there in separate cars, and will have to drive home from this distant place each in their own car when they want to be together!" In the next scene, we saw that they solved that problem: She and her mechanic beloved are nestled together in the towing truck, and he is towing her vehicle - not because it is broken, but because they want to be in one car.

    I lived in Botswana at the time that the author was writing the novels. (He was a senior surgeon based in the capital Gaborone.) They are a truly authentic representation of Batswana society, and it is wonderful to see them produced as television so well. Botswana is one of Africa's great success stories and it deserves a higher profile in the world.

    The show ended without filming the final episodes. It left viewers disappointed with many unanswered loose ends- however, despite that, it’s one of the best series ever made. The casting, the storylines, the editing all perfect. It’s a delight to watch. It aired on HBO and it would be great if Apple TV or Netflix picked it up to continue where it left off.

There's comedy, mystery, drama, romance...all in one. Has my attention from beginning to end. AND, I don't have to be concerned about distasteful content to boot. SO wish writers/producers would put out more programs worth while like this one. Jill Scott, not just a talented vocalist, a pleasure to watch as an actor. And, the secretary, love her!!! All the actors are great. Glad I 'stumbled' across this channel. Thank you!

    I have the books in a collectors edition hardback, absolutely loved it. Simple and easy imagry. The characters are so much deeper than the sub text. They all treat each other as dynamic human beings, they approach eachother with faith and intent of peace. They are not naturally suspicious until there is just cause pointing to the need to be. I have alway's loved Jill Scott as a performer, great singer too. Protesting a Nigerian dentist? My Deacon at my church is from Nigeria and an anaesthesiologist of dental practice, one heck of an amazing messenger of God.
