I picked up and left this series last year with the intention to pick it up again and I am super glad I did. I found the first two episodes slow, but I blame myself for that there is a reason behind it you need to get to really know the story before you can start to understand. Being that I never watched the original movie till last week even more so.
I love Ruth she is probably my favourite out of all of the cast to watch her go from a real stone face to having a heart of gold. The thing i'm most intruiged about is Melanie, without wanting to give away too much, but I see a comeback for her, reason being, Jennifer Connelly is still in the credits on Netflix for season 3??
It was nice also to see Archie Panjabi make an appearance in the show I used to like watching her in The Good Wife. I'm kinda sore at Netflix for releasing weekly episodes now im up to date, but then again I would binge watch the whole thing and still want more.
In regards to the movie, perhaps its because I watched the tv series first, I did not enjoy the movie as much as others, I find the story line for the series much more enjoyable, the movie seemed rushed almost but I guess you have only so much time for storyline to play out.
Will the horn of Africa be warm who can say??
