This show had promise. Real ambition. But Kemi Adetibaโs love for showcasing her own prowess gets in the way. If youโre going to be unoriginal, at least donโt be over the top with it.
Scenes dragged. Moments that shouldโve hit hard like the inspector recognizing Efe in the middle of chaos in the hospital, her loss and his loss fell flat. It made no emotional or narrative sense. If that moment was meant to move the plot, it needed weight. Stakes. Urgency. Better structure.
Too many plot holes. Not enough character development to fill them.
Efe woke up angry at Oboz one morningโjust like that. No setup. No reason. And in a story about deepfake AI scams, that shouldโve been the plot. Instead, we got a police inspector who didnโt need to be one, and threads that never came together.
It had great potential, but Nigerian filmmakers really need to stop copying American cop shows without adapting them to local logic or rhythm.
Entertaining? Sure. But you could watch the entire thing without looking at the screen. It played like a podcast. Long, winding, and mostly unnecessary.
Kemi Adetiba is clearly talented. But it might be time to invest in a strong co-writer and stop writing such long long expository dialogue.
