Something depicts life in African towns that are not wealthy settings or main characters
I remember seeing one with a woman detective as the main character on Arte long ago. So I did some research: It’s called The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, produced by the BBC and filmed in Botswana.
Thanks!
And off topic but just FYI, The N1 Ladies Detective Agency is a very popular series of novels also set in Africa by author Alexander McCall Smith
Not series, but God Must Be Crazy is an all time classic.
Not really a series, but who could forget great classic movies such as:
WHO KILLED CAPTAIN ALEX - Uganda’s first action movie and TEEBATUSASULA
I mean, there’s about 387 million Nollywood and Ghannywood movies set in villages or small towns.
The South African series Trackers is awesome, and has some rural settings. But it’s highly produced drama.
Some episodes of Ultimate Braii Master or Taste of South Africa show less rural settings.
There’s a season of 90 Day Fiance with Baby Girl Lisa and Usman that shows pretty accurate village life.
Movie Queen of Katwe
There’s a detective show called Reyka that I found very interesting.
