Anybody watched this yet on HBO. Takes place in Botswana and is a hoot. My daughter and I enjoyed it very much.

A few years ago listened to this on radio, the pictures were good!

No, seriously, it was entertaining.

i find it utterly charming, if not incredibly predictable. the all african cast and setting is really appealing, the local dialects, etc. i love the main character actor, whose name escapes. all in all, a great effort. and no cursing....!! WTF! GTFO!!

The main character is played by Jill Scott, who is an incredible singer, btw.

I think the setting is fascinating - for whatever reasons, we don't get many depictions of modern Africa in our media, and it's quite illuminating.

The African music really completes the 'feeling' of the show, too.

Just when I'm about ready to give HBO the boot, they find something else to keep me on the hook. Oh well, I'm happy about this one.
