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.
