Synopsis

Set in 1980s London, this comedy series follows the Easmon family, which has settled in England after having arrived from Sierra Leone a decade earlier. The Easmons’ son, Akuna, hangs out in the housing project where the family lives, playing soccer and dodging the local thugs. The family’s life is turned upside down when Walter’s brother Valentine arrives in the U.K., bringing chaos in his wake and igniting a passion for music in Akuna.

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
b4blue Reminds me of Yugoslavia, when I grew up and lived in Slovenia and our relatives from Serbia would come to visit. Cultural differences were vast and we were looked down on. We were louder and more family oriented. My uncle from Serbia was a bad influence :). Race doesn't really matter. You have these kind of things everywhere.
deborahdelacroix-11843 I really enjoyed watching this series and thought the depiction of the eighties was brilliant. The tone was light-hearted, the soundtrack excellent, and the characters all plausible and likeable. Idris Elba's character was very good, as were all his family and in particular his young son, Kobna. Very gentle viewing but well worth watching, and definitely laugh out loud funny!
dstark-79152 The casting is sublime. Soundtrack is superb, and overall one of the most enjoyable short TV series to come out in a long time.Highly recommend. A little piece of nostalgia.
monicabrown So funny and very 80's. Iris Elba has nailed it! I hope there's another series. The script is sharp and funny.
