No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency - FUN, INSIGHTFUL, WITTY ... Wish More Seasons Were Forthcoming
This DVD covers the early books in the world-wide, best selling series, entitled "The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency,' by Alexander McCall Smith. The books in this series are uplifting and heart-warming in their coverage of the people, culture, and traditions of Botswana (Africa). This DVD set of 3 discs covers the early books in that series. The actors chosen to portray the books' characters are excellent. The DVD set follows the books fairly closely (of course, some liberties are taken to make the video more appealing and better adapt the plots to the TV screen.

My only regret is that the powers-that-be did not continue producing more episodes after this first season. It would be wonderful for BBC/PBS to take this on as a project, re-assemble the cast, if necessary, and continue capturing the author's entire series of books into future TV episodes.

home town girl does well
A very special television series adaptation of a series of very entertaining books. This is a fine example of story telling, film making at its best. The lands and animals of Africa are the canvas on which our story and characters exist. Simple, yet rich in textures and levels used to paint this remarkable picture of the beauty and simplicity of village life in contemporary Africa. The main character is a young woman who has gone off and while away takes a correspondence course in private detection and comes back to practice in her village which on the verge of becoming a small town. She hangs up her shingle and waits for business to come her way. The first person to come in is mistook for a potential client, but turns out to be a young somewhat prissy young lady , who graduated in the ...

The first person to come in is mistook for a potential client, but turns out to be a young somewhat prissy young lady , who graduated in the 97th. percentile of her class as a secretary assistan. And so they become the central characters of the series as they form a unique partnership of kindred souls...who manage to solve the sins and misgivings of the surrounding people. Rich colors, great music, and funny situation through this new HBO program.

A African Female Detective:
This was a surprise to me. I wondered how in a basically male dominated culture a female could take the lead as a detective in Africa. It was smartly acted and written. I had never seen this before. The approach was different because of the environment this female had to operate in, and to my wonderful surprise this series is a gem. Unfortunately there are only two seasons of it and only one is available; so the viewer is left hanging at the end of the first season of it. Even how she becomes a detective is interesting. She is the glue to the supporting cast around her and they themselves are interesting. The African scenery is wonderful; you feel like you are there. The way it is told, while it is in Africa, it's very relatable to the viewer( some of the investigations she takes on); ... This was a surprise to me.

The way it is told, while it is in Africa, it's very relatable to the viewer( some of the investigations she takes on); therefore allowing you to see the cultural differences and similarities; showing that basically we have similar issues, we're the same. I like that.

The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency
I have read and reread all of Alexander McCall Smiths books, they are well written, intelligent entertainment that is never insulting, older people love these works as much as children. Smith writes about factious people in Scotland which I love, yet my favorite characters are from this series. These interesting stories cover well over 20 books. You get a feel for these simple yet elegant people in Botswana Africa and their traditions, I can't help but feel close to Precious Ramotswe, of The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency as well as her odd-ball assistant Mma Makutsi, all of the towns folk that wrap around these main characters are lovable and engaging, even when they are misguided or simply no good. I recommend Series 1 on DVD, these actors were beautifully matched to the original books ...

I intend to write to this amazing author to please promote Series 2, this creative masterpiece could be one of the best viewing opportunities for any family.
