Waited and waited for Itv2 to give a date and time for the release of this series and it finally came on yesterday 9/10/17 but i watched it on i- player the next morning. The appeal of the series is the fact that a group of black people go back in time..a first of its kind..
Personally I didn't like the fact that there was swearing & nudity in it(am a Christian) and it limits the target audience.. Also I would have liked the time machine to have taken them back to the times of Henry 7 , 8 and Elizabeth 1 for them to see the reality of those times , there were a lot of black people in England at that time and not as slaves but free men. Queen Bessie deported many of them and seized their goods.
The acting was good and great lines.. "Its like woke up in a black and white film but like in colour and like no a film!" " How long are you staying for? Until I find Jason innit...This Mr innit.".. "You got a D and an E when you retook it lol"
Some may find it cheesy stereotypical - black manhood, Model dumbness etc but I think we cant really review the series until we see the rest of the episodes as opening episodes are used to establish the characters..
