When was the last time a show left you smiling? For me, it was 11 p.m. tonight. I watched the premiere of "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" and was grinning from ear to ear. For lack of a better word, the show is sweet (not a term one usually associates with a program airing on HBO). It unfurls as one might expect a long, hot day to roll out across the beautiful Botswana landscape. Slow, leisurely and with a few unexpected interruptions for good measure. It's like a spa for your overly-stimulated, television-watching mind - relaxing, soothing and highly enjoyable.
Jill Scott is a revelation as detective Precious Ramotswe and Anika Noni Rose delights as her "wrapped-a-bit-too-tightly" secretary, Grace. Honestly, there wasn't a weak link in the cast.
I truly enjoyed it and think I may have found a new favorite show
Did you catch "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency? What did you think of it?
