To Kill a Monkey' had the makings of a compelling narrative, but ultimately fell short due to subpar direction. Director Kemi Adetiba's tendency to overcomplicate elements of the storytelling became apparent in the execution of this series. Dialogues often lacked authenticity, and certain scenes felt awkwardly acted out. Most jarringly, the series' conclusion was hastily wrapped up without clear narrative justification, leaving viewers with an unsatisfying end. Given these considerable shortcomings, I found the overall viewing experience to be disappointing. As such, I wouldn't even grant this series a 3-star rating – it simply wasn't a watch worth recommending.
