the acting is generally bad... and terribly so. It's almost like a school play for children only. And the story? It couldn't be more ridiculous. A sub-par attempt at copying an American horror thriller. With no head or tail... it doesn't make sense for most part. Its not well thought out... And if you dare to see this, you will discover that you don't have to think, to realize that this was written by a lazy writer... and vetted by the same writer.	negative
. . . . Production? Zero! Soundtrack? Zero! Save your money... don't even borrow it. You've been warned!	negative
There's really nothing good to really point out in this movie, but... in the spirit of "NOT SPOILING EVERYTHING" ...I will say the only good thing about this movie, that stands out is the animation. Yes, there is actually a part of this movie that is animated... like cartoon... an approximately ten minute long part. Quite okay, for a Nigerian anime	negative
. . Apart from that... everything is else is ridiculous to the point of irritating. There's even one guy acting cop/ Jack Bauer (of the Lagos State Police Department or LSPD... please believe me!) and he feels all suave, swagger-li-cious and bad, he will almost make you puke... as in vomit. Am not joking, the guy is that BADD!	negative
Stay away from this one... In fact, Run away from this one. It's an absolutely ridiculous excuse for a movie... even a Nigerian movie. It's guaranteed to make you regretful, if like me, you dare to see it at the cinemas (but at least in my case, I did it for you and without knowing). But jokes apart, this is bad enough, to make the heading for this paragraph read 'WARNING' rather than Verdict, to be more accurate.	negative
And it has to be said: the dialogue in this movie is the worst I have ever experienced. There were many one liners that could have been used to provide some good memory, but they came out lame and tepid, leaving a bad taste in the mouth of the viewer. This script is very bad.	negative
Audio was particularly poor. In some parts of the movie, the sound was like a poorly dubbed pirated movie.	negative
When we thought it was all over, the concluding scene brought even more confusion, which is saying a lot, as the movie had been confusing all along and I was sure it couldn’t get worse.	negative
Watching Ratnik was quite painful. I was almost in tears. I acknowledge that the movie had lofty ambitions, but I am convinced it would have fared better as a 10 to 30 minute short movie to test the waters. Hopefully, the producers and script writers will take criticism in good faith and use it to deliver a much better flick next time. . .	negative
this movie is a big disappointment!	negative
The story line was sub-par... overly predictable!	negative
. . Bad acting all around... Ramsey Noah seemed almost like he was forced to be in it and the American actors were barely on top of their game.	negative
95% of it wasn't funny to me. Seems to me like the Warri jokes have all gone stale, and throwing in the Atlanta mash up, just didn't help.	negative
The jokes were just too obvious... you know, kind of like Ay was trying too hard to make me laugh.	negative
I didn't enjoy this movie.	negative
They should have not bothered with it. #LivingInBondageBreakingFree	negative
The sound quality of the movie was not crisp, and that contributed to the less than desirable experience. The story could have been better executed with better laughs, as unrealistic as it was. This could have made up for everything else it lacks, but even that was too much to ask for in this production.. .	negative
The cinematography in the movie was basic and was not too exciting, and the movie got boring and tedious in some parts.	negative
In all, Day of Destiny did not live up to the expectations that were drummed up in the trailer.	negative
The plot was very simple and straightforward, with very minimal conflict or excitement to make you remember the movie.	negative
But those good aspects are too few to redeem the movie. Every hope I had for it was dashed. 2 Weeks In Lagos should have stayed on the small screen.	negative
Most of the interior shots had poor lighting. In some scenes, the faces of the actors were not visible. The fashion show could have been better executed. For a show hosted by the daughter of a wealthy man, it felt like a secondary school affair.	negative
#NamasteWahala. . I honestly think the movie is overrated. An average agbero doesn't harass foreiner not to talk more or a yellow cab driver.. . Few scenes in India wouldn't have been a bad idea too.. . Last last Sha, I enjoyed the India dance thing!	negative
#NamasteWahala let me down o! How do you bring together two amazing cultures with arguably some of the best music in the world and you give me that lousy song? I feel like I have to re-do the movie myself just to redeem it. 😩	negative
Really wasted my time watching #NamasteWahala . . . . Was the singing necessary?!	negative
It was a complete bust. Blacked out twice and when I finally made it to the end, it was very underwhelming. Were our expectations too high?	negative
Fine Wine could have been more exciting, but the potential of the story was not fully explored and it was further marred by a very sluggish pace. If this movie were a bottle of wine, it has some maturing to do.	negative
The movie had no subplots that we could follow. Also, One thing that could have provided some authenticity was to see RMD in an actual winery to provide backing for his 200 Million Naira loan for the business. The only place he talked about wines was at the dinner table. That is like having a Fast n Furious movie in which there is talk about cars but no car shop scene or something of the sort.	negative
The movie has the most ridiculous robbery scene ever in the movie universe, and it is way too long. The resolution of the issues is rushed and provides no connection with the audience. Whether classified as satire or comedy, Ponzi is quite a bore. . .	negative
This movie feels like a mish mash of under-developed ideas with a half hearted romance thrown in. It is not sure if it wants to be a comedy or a satire. As slapstick comedy, it falls short of the expected full-on laughter and ridiculousness. As a satire, it does not have enough ingredients and irony to truly carry that flag. It is full of social media slangs, trending hashtags, and the worst of poverty cliches.	negative
The "find-your-way-back-to-your-church-and-your-family" premise is ludicrously illogical given the movies warts-and-all treatment of Big Time Protestantism in one of Africas most populous countries.	negative
. . Man of God ultimately foregoes the complexity of its religious subject matter for a simplistic, troubling message.	negative
Recommended. 'Vanity' is a simple, strong, Nigerian flavor, drama with great production, great acting & almost-great subtitling. Mr. Arukwe is the only problem of this movie. He portrayed his character too well. The problem is that he plays a very very wicked & astoundingly foolish husband with a penchant for speaking thick beautiful Igbo. And he played the "bastard" so insidiously, he will make spinsters think twice before marrying hunks from the East. But thank God for umu nne Igbo.	positive
Doctor Lanre will leave you glued to your seat all through. Great story, amazing cast, fantastic rendition of lines and suspense filled. The story is so unique, a diversion from the regular Nollywood love story. I look forward to more intriguing stories from the writer. I will definitely recommend that you see this.	positive
This movie is just so so sweet & unbounded in its authenticity. In fact, the hype & the trailers don't do it justice enough. It will surprise you with its bountiful, wholesome & well balanced story.	positive
The Set Up 2 feels like a movie made out of a collaborative effort between Sydney Sheldon and Robert Ludlum. I was very impressed with the story line; it has action, suspense, a smidgen of romance, and humour. The revelations are mind blowing. As a matter of fact, I was on the edge of my seat through out the movie. It has been a while since I have seen an action movie from Nollywood that I really like.	positive
The picture quality of the movie is top notch. I especially like the manner in which the movie uses the opening montage to give us an update from its prequel. There was no wasting of screen time. I especially love the camera angles. For example, there is an aerial view of Lagos that came out really well. I wish to see more of such in Nigerian movies.	positive
Nancy Isime has firmly positioned herself as the queen of the Nollywood action flicks, and she gives a great performance here. Of course, Kate Henshaw, Tina Mba, Jim Iyke and the rest of the cast, are truly in their elements. But my favourite in this movie is not even the lead actor; it is Stan Eze. He displays the perfect blend of seriousness, goofiness, tenderness, and humour. He is fully in his element here.	positive
I really love the cast of the movie. We have a mix of old and new actors. Adesuwa is a beauty to behold, and the combination of her natural beauty and skills shine through. Fight sequences are well choreographed, weapons handling is well orchestrated, and the stunts are almost perfect, almost. Yet none of these take away from the extraordinary nature of the movie.	positive
I can categorically say that Ebony Life has used Blood Sisters to redeem itself from the disaster that Chief Daddy 2 is. It appears Nollywood is able to explore stories when there are more than 2 hours for the movie. Blood Sisters is a crime thriller centred around domestic violence, and still manages to bring in humour, glamour, the big budget wedding, and even a society funeral.	positive
Kate Kenshaw is the matriarch in this crime thriller, and she carries the role with all the grace required. She is a legend. Kehinde Bankole is a sight to see in her role as a daughter-in-law to Kate Henshaw’s role. Gabriel Afolayan brought his usual commitment and energy to his role. I expect nothing less from him now, and I am happy that he did not disappoint.	positive
Every actor brings the story alive, no matter how small their part is. It is beautiful to observe Nollywood in its element. This is a movie full of the best Nollywood has to offer, a fusion of old and new Nollywood.	positive
The shining stars of Blood Sisters are Nancy Isime and Ini Idima Okojie. Nancy deserves every accolade coming her way for the role she played in this production. All the actors will keep you on the edge of your seat. The only character I have a problem with is the hired assassin, who did not demonstrate the role well in the opening scene. However, that may be what the writer wrote for him.	positive
The cinematography is top-notch, the colours are vibrant, vivid, and appropriate for every setting. The costume in the movie suits every scene and role, and as the roles change, you see the change of costume, and you are able to see immediately the change of circumstances.	positive
It is interesting to see Nollywood show more sex scenes than usual, and it is artfully done, too. It is neither over the top nor unnecessary to the storyline. Kudos to the directors. The ageing done in the movie is beautiful to see; there is not a single whitening make-up, yet we could see the appropriate ageing for all the characters as required. One of the challenges Nollywood faces is that of getting the appropriate location to fit the scenes in the story. Blood Sisters does not have that problem; all the locations are appropriate for every scene.	positive
This is a long movie, but you will find yourself unable to stop watching it till the end. And that cliffhanger, I hate it and I love it! This is an excellent production, deserving of every international recognition coming its way. Five stars all the way.	positive
I have to admit it was nicely done. Although Blade, with his huffing and puffing and Wale Ojo with his Texan Chicago accent were the weakest links for me.	positive
I see people giving this movie a low rating for the weirdest reasons. Ramsey Nouahs role, the car he drove, minor plot holes. Really? We're just going to ignore the beautiful cinematography, the wonderful acting, the believable characters, the suspense, the actual effort put into making this? This series could very easily have been a movie. It was good and not just for "Nigerian standards" (whatever that means) Kate Henshaw, Ramsey Nouah, everyone handled their roles with grace. This was a beautiful production and I love how it ended. If we continue like this we may one day have a movie that truly competes internationally. This is a solid 6/10. But I'll gave it a 10/10 to balance out the unfair ratings.	positive
This is a great series that tells the African story in the most detailed way with actors that brought their best.The cinematography, costume, dialogue, plot and acting is a beauty that is best seen than talked about.	positive
There were some problems with the movie but overall it was a great watch. And it's really refreshing to see our actors showcase their talent. We've always suffered from horrible scripts/directing. This movie is a BIG step in the right direction. I love it! Season two? Nah.....More stories like this? Yes please!!!!	positive
There is an upward movement in quality, delivery, style and class in the series and it is certainly going to be a benchmark for multiple film and TV productions that will occur in the Nigerian movie industry.. . Highly recommended.	positive
This series is amazing!! From the plot to the cast and everything else! Totally recommend.. I've watched it twice now since it's been released. It's really good! Please watch it y'all!!! Ignore the bad reviews please.	positive
I thought the cinematography was beautiful, I find the movie colorful and full of life. The chemistry between kemi and Sarah as best friends was unbelievably good!, nice pacing in the movie as well..looks more organized in terms of setting up each scenes. It's a brilliant movies and a win for nollywood and africa in general.	positive
One of the best Nigerian movies ever. I am impressed by the never ending twists and the end? Just the best.This shows the toxicity of most Nigerian parents.. . Finished watching in a day.	positive
Thorougly enjoyed this movie and would recommend to anyone looking for a nice nigerian movie to relax.	positive
Blood sisters For a Nigerian mini series it had a lot of positives, that can make us turn our eyes from the negatives. The star studded cast was such a delight, because it wasn't star studded to bring audiences alone, but because they actually wanted stellar performances; it was also refreshing to see big names relegated to cameo roles (Toyin Abraham, Joke Silva, to name a few). The cinematography and direction was well-done. The locations were spot on, serving all of the aesthetic purposes they wanted to deliver. From the lush and grande setting the rich family had, to the makoko slums during the cat and mice chase... The attention to detail was lovely to see, they wanted the production to scream high budget, and it did. There was also enough characterization to keep audiences going.	positive
This is a change from the norm though, and I get why many are excited, because this shows that nollywood still has hope.	positive
I can't sing only praises for this production, even though I want to, the plot was wonky and so many parts weren't plausible. The pacing also didn't progress evenly.	positive
. . To conclude, blood sisters was an imperfect but enjoyable ride.	positive
Are we gonna talk about the nudity??? What??? That knocked me out! A Nigerian production and I was seeing naked derrières and boobs and nipples, what??? And before you decide to watch this because I added nudity, it appears sparingly, but, for a Nigerian production, it was a lot!	positive
It's refreshingly different from the normal Nollywood flick.. .	positive
The unpredictability of the storyline, the engaging dialogues and the character interpretation of the cast was superb.	positive
. . I enjoyed every bit. Although it took a minute to sink into the story, eventually, it caught on.. .	positive
The cinematography was well done. The scene introduction and sound too. For a local movie it's use of mother toungue where suitable, is well blended for international audience.. .	positive
Lastly, I so love the subtlety of stars given minor role,s like cameos. That was interesting, lol. Toyin, Bayo (Hustle), Mama Joke Silvia, etc. I loved the pleasant surprise of their appearance. All I can is, it's a far far improvement from the norm. Simple as that. The bar is set, hope it's maintained.	positive
i am not really a Nigerian movie buff but Blood Sister has given hope that the Nigerian movie industry can excel internationally just like the Nigerian music is doing. Yes. I have issues with the casting. How can Kate Henshaw who looks younger than her age play a mother role and Gabriel Afolayan plays her son? Also, an assassin with a gun and dagger was ruthlessly beaten by a dude in agbada attire? Come on!! The biggest win is the directing and cinematography which are out of this world. I will give it a 7 which I considered generous.	positive
. . This movie is by far one of the best Nollywood x Netflix screen plays. For those of us who are AUTHENTICALLY Nigerian, it is an ode to our youth, the acting style, the story line speaks to the cultural differences. A must watch if you ask me.	positive
I loved everything about it and I can't wait for the second sequel. The acting was on point and it most definitely had me at the edge of my seat. I wish it didn't just end like that, I wanted more. So hopefully they come out with the second part soon.	positive
Blood Sisters is a testament to the fact that the Nigerian Film Industry is fully matured to tell its story. I (we) have seen many fantastic movies, however, Blood Sisters is different in all ramifications: it is indeed a masterpiece. The theme of the movie is understandable, discernible, and visible. The characters are round pegs that fit perfectly into their respective round holes and the story is smashing. Amazing work from the stable of EbonyLife Studios. Great job!	positive
diamond in the dust	positive
This is Good. Watch without a condescending mindset. Good story , needs a bit of brushing up and character development as the show goes on. But you're in for a thrill with some few twist that leaves you in suspense.	positive
I enjoyed every bit of this film!!! Story, Plot, Directing, Acting and Production Design!!!. .	positive
. . . . All together, this was a beautiful one.	positive
The entire cast and crew deserve Sweet Potatoes from me.. .	positive
Timeyin brought it home. Kemi is that friend. Slow Jo is the kind of Inspector we need in Africa and the security lady in yellow/mustard from the hotel 😍😉😟 can have those expressions. She should have mmmmmm, longerrrrrr.	positive
I must say one of the best suspense movie coming out of Nollywood. You have to understand the Nollywood journey to fully appreciate this production. This has set the bar and it will only get better from here. Well done Nollywood. Good to see industry not belonging to the corrupt government but the benefit going directly to the hard working Entrepreneurs in country.	positive
Once I got used to the over-the-top soap opera style of this show I enjoyed it a lot. The first episode was a corker that draws you in to the intrigue. The costumes were incredible & the hero's and villains well drawn. The plot is highly implausible at times but I was able to overlook that & just enjoy it for the wild ride this show takes you on. Unlike many Netflix series, at 4 episodes it was the perfect length.	positive
It's an interesting story gritty and messy but that's the thrill. Lovely picture. Keeps you on the edge. As a writer I can understand the level of work put in to this and I am proud of it. It's giving energy of many possibilities in Nollywood and that's impressive!	positive
This is a brilliant delivery and execution by the entire team. The suspense, the plot twist, the actors, locations, cinematography, production design, costume, the sound tracks, we honestly have not had a beautifully coordinated movie like this in the industry for a while.	positive
I enjoyed this limited series, like everything. Yeah there might have been a few hiccups here and there but it's definitely something you could overlook when immersed in the story. Liked how the characters were believable. Honestly, everything worked for me. Ebonylife is always setting the pace 👍	positive
It is bold and absolutely refreshing, little wonder it's trending globally, a proud moment for everyone involved.	positive

As a Nigerian American, ever since I've been exposed to American cinematography, Nigerian cinematography has been so far belo America's that I've lost all taste for Nigerian movies and deride the. Constantly. I was pleasantly surprised by this. Couldn't get enough well done.	positive
This series is amazing, Africa number one Series! Nice plotting. Unbelievable, Nancy Isime Killed it (Best of Nancy)! I, Totally recommend... It's really good! Please watch, if you haven't done yet. Film series dey pass film series, Blood Sis is a Top Notch.	positive
Wow..... I really enjoyed the movie, had to see it over and over. Had to call my white Colleagues at work to go see the movie on Netflix.	positive
. . I think this is one of the best nollywood movies/series I've seen in a while. The cast was one of the reasons why I watched and their performance was great, you can tell they gave it their best. I also liked the fact that they used the series as a way to spread awareness on domestic violence. The storyline was really good and I really liked the plot twists. However, I would say that some parts were a bit cringe (which was to be expected) specifically the Officer Chicago scenes. I really don't think he was relevant to the plot (in my opinion) However, if you ignore those cringe-worthy scenes, you will find that it was a pretty good storyline and nollywood has definitely stepped up their game. The lead actors were amazing as well. I can't wait to see more projects like this for sure.	positive
. . This is one of a kind in Nigeria. A strong story, a stellar cast with a groundbreaking performance from everybody, and high production value. Shoutout to Genoveva Umeh who plays Timeyin. She did more than justice to her role. I see her being the biggest breakout star from Nollywood this decade.	positive
. . This is the best Nollywood + Netflix collaboration I have ever seen.. . . . The movie is all encompassing from the crew to the cast. The producers did a wonderful job likewise the directors.. . . . All thanks to Mo Abudu (EbonyLifeTV) that was a great series in the books of Naija series record.	positive
no likeable characters. . . You know how when you watch a movie/series and you root for one or more characters to win? I can't do that with this series. Everyone is either evil or just too stupid. But I give 5 stars for holding my attention.	positive
I felt proud watching this as a Nigerian. From the casting, to the execution and the delivery. I thought this show had the right amount of suspense and unpredictability. The way the gave subtle hints into they whys. Why the mother detested the other kids and favored her love-child, etc. Great stuff!	positive
Perfect acting, pace, plot, intentions of characters. 4 episodes are just right for the whole story. And the ending was perfectly suspenseful. I wonder if Timeyin really killed her mother. I would've done it if I was her.. . . . I even cried when Akin found out the secret room of that abuser....those drawings. They reminded me of my own traumatic experience.	positive
Not to say so much, Blood sisters just raised the bar in creating stories that would keep you at the edge of your seat! I loved the best-friends connection. Not once did any of them blame the other for the predicament they found themselves in, gives you a glimpse on what a good friendship should look like.. . . . I also felt bad for bestman (Akin), felt like his grief got coupled with finding out that what you know about your long time friend was a facade.	positive
Blood Sisters is a absolute feast. Best 4 hour binge you will spend on Netflix. It builds up to an explosive ending you don't see coming. Can not wait to see what happens in the next instalment. A Nigerian production like you've never seen. World class!	positive
Blood Sisters reminds us that life can happen to the best of people, and chances are that it won't always be fair. Beautifully made, beautiful location, what's not to love about this series! I thoroughly enjoyed every episode.	positive
It's got a good plot... Nice movie... They put good use to their stars...top movie... I can't begin to explain every twist and turns and every suspense in the movie I can't but say the movie is worth all my data... I am about to watch again for the third time... I can't get enough already.	positive
This is one of the best Nigerian movies ever. I am impressed by the never ending twists and the end?. . . . Kudos to everyone who made this possible.. . . . This is simply the best....	positive
What a story, from the first minute of the movie I was just in anticipation... kudos to the casts and crews.. . . . Nancy, Ramsey, deyemi, Gabriel, Kate henshaw, the Cop from Chicago was just too good 😂 A job well done to you guys.	positive
Great content... This movie is a banger, I watched the entire episode in one seating and I have watched it 3 times over and over again.	positive
blood sisters to the world. loved it	positive
Story line is good, picture quality is beautiful, Ransom, Nancy, Kate, Wole ojo and Ini sure killed their rolls.	positive

the acting is generally bad... and terribly so. It's almost like a school play for children only. And the story? It couldn't be more ridiculous.

I especially love the camera angles. For example, there is an aerial view of Lagos that came out really well. I wish to see more of such in Nigerian movies.

Nancy Isime has firmly positioned herself as the queen of the Nollywood action flicks, and she gives a great performance here. Of course, Kate Henshaw, Tina Mba, Jim Iyke and the rest of the cast, are truly in their elements. But my favourite in this movie is not even the lead actor; it is Stan Eze. He displays the perfect blend of seriousness, goofiness, tenderness, and humour. He is fully in his element here.

positive

I really love the cast of the movie. We have a mix of old and new actors. Adesuwa is a beauty to behold, and the combination of her natural beauty and skills shine through. Fight sequences are well choreographed, weapons handling is well orchestrated, and the stunts are almost perfect, almost. Yet none of these take away from the extraordinary nature of the movie.

positive

I can categorically say that Ebony Life has used Blood Sisters to redeem itself from the disaster that Chief Daddy 2 is. It appears Nollywood is able to explore stories when there are more than 2 hours for the movie. Blood Sisters is a crime thriller centred around domestic violence, and still manages to bring in humour, glamour, the big budget wedding, and even a society funeral.

positive

Kate Kenshaw is the matriarch in this crime thriller, and she carries the role with all the grace required. She is a legend. Kehinde Bankole is a sight to see in her role as a daughter-in-law to Kate Henshaw’s role. Gabriel Afolayan brought his usual commitment and energy to his role. I expect nothing less from him now, and I am happy that he did not disappoint.

positive

Every actor brings the story alive, no matter how small their part is. It is beautiful to observe Nollywood in its element. This is a movie full of the best Nollywood has to offer, a fusion of old and new Nollywood.

positive

The shining stars of Blood Sisters are Nancy Isime and Ini Idima Okojie. Nancy deserves every accolade coming her way for the role she played in this production. All the actors will keep you on the edge of your seat. The only character I have a problem with is the hired assassin, who did not demonstrate the role well in the opening scene. However, that may be what the writer wrote for him.

positive

The cinematography is top-notch, the colours are vibrant, vivid, and appropriate for every setting. The costume in the movie suits every scene and role, and as the roles change, you see the change of costume, and you are able to see immediately the change of circumstances.

positive

It is interesting to see Nollywood show more sex scenes than usual, and it is artfully done, too. It is neither over the top nor unnecessary to the storyline. Kudos to the directors. The ageing done in the movie is beautiful to see; there is not a single whitening make-up, yet we could see the appropriate ageing for all the characters as required. One of the challenges Nollywood faces is that of getting the appropriate location to fit the scenes in the story. Blood Sisters does not have that problem; all the locations are appropriate for every scene.

positive

This is a long movie, but you will find yourself unable to stop watching it till the end. And that cliffhanger, I hate it and I love it! This is an excellent production, deserving of every international recognition coming its way. Five stars all the way.

positive

I have to admit it was nicely done. Although Blade, with his huffing and puffing and Wale Ojo with his Texan Chicago accent were the weakest links for me.

positive

I see people giving this movie a low rating for the weirdest reasons. Ramsey Nouahs role, the car he drove, minor plot holes. Really? We're just going to ignore the beautiful cinematography, the wonderful acting, the believable characters, the suspense, the actual effort put into making this? This series could very easily have been a movie. It was good and not just for "Nigerian standards" (whatever that means) Kate Henshaw, Ramsey Nouah, everyone handled their roles with grace. This was a beautiful production and I love how it ended. If we continue like this we may one day have a movie that truly competes internationally. This is a solid 6/10. But I'll gave it a 10/10 to balance out the unfair ratings.

positive

This is a great series that tells the African story in the most detailed way with actors that brought their best.The cinematography, costume, dialogue, plot and acting is a beauty that is best seen than talked about.

positive

There were some problems with the movie but overall it was a great watch. And it's really refreshing to see our actors showcase their talent. We've always suffered from horrible scripts/directing. This movie is a BIG step in the right direction. I love it! Season two? Nah.....More stories like this? Yes please!!!!

positive

There is an upward movement in quality, delivery, style and class in the series and it is certainly going to be a benchmark for multiple film and TV productions that will occur in the Nigerian movie industry.. . Highly recommended.

positive

This series is amazing!! From the plot to the cast and everything else! Totally recommend.. I've watched it twice now since it's been released. It's really good! Please watch it y'all!!! Ignore the bad reviews please.

positive

I thought the cinematography was beautiful, I find the movie colorful and full of life. The chemistry between kemi and Sarah as best friends was unbelievably good!, nice pacing in the movie as well..looks more organized in terms of setting up each scenes. It's a brilliant movies and a win for nollywood and africa in general.

positive

One of the best Nigerian movies ever. I am impressed by the never ending twists and the end? Just the best.This shows the toxicity of most Nigerian parents.. . Finished watching in a day.

positive

Thorougly enjoyed this movie and would recommend to anyone looking for a nice nigerian movie to relax.

positive

Blood sisters For a Nigerian mini series it had a lot of positives, that can make us turn our eyes from the negatives. The star studded cast was such a delight, because it wasn't star studded to bring audiences alone, but because they actually wanted stellar performances; it was also refreshing to see big names relegated to cameo roles (Toyin Abraham, Joke Silva, to name a few). The cinematography and direction was well-done. The locations were spot on, serving all of the aesthetic purposes they wanted to deliver. From the lush and grande setting the rich family had, to the makoko slums during the cat and mice chase... The attention to detail was lovely to see, they wanted the production to scream high budget, and it did. There was also enough characterization to keep audiences going.

positive

This is a change from the norm though, and I get why many are excited, because this shows that nollywood still has hope.

positive

I can't sing only praises for this production, even though I want to, the plot was wonky and so many parts weren't plausible. The pacing also didn't progress evenly.

positive

. . To conclude, blood sisters was an imperfect but enjoyable ride.

positive

Are we gonna talk about the nudity??? What??? That knocked me out! A Nigerian production and I was seeing naked derrières and boobs and nipples, what??? And before you decide to watch this because I added nudity, it appears sparingly, but, for a Nigerian production, it was a lot!

positive

It's refreshingly different from the normal Nollywood flick.. .

positive

The unpredictability of the storyline, the engaging dialogues and the character interpretation of the cast was superb.

positive

. . I enjoyed every bit. Although it took a minute to sink into the story, eventually, it caught on.. .

positive

The cinematography was well done. The scene introduction and sound too. For a local movie it's use of mother toungue where suitable, is well blended for international audience.. .

positive

Lastly, I so love the subtlety of stars given minor role,s like cameos. That was interesting, lol. Toyin, Bayo (Hustle), Mama Joke Silvia, etc. I loved the pleasant surprise of their appearance. All I can is, it's a far far improvement from the norm. Simple as that. The bar is set, hope it's maintained.

positive

i am not really a Nigerian movie buff but Blood Sister has given hope that the Nigerian movie industry can excel internationally just like the Nigerian music is doing. Yes. I have issues with the casting. How can Kate Henshaw who looks younger than her age play a mother role and Gabriel Afolayan plays her son? Also, an assassin with a gun and dagger was ruthlessly beaten by a dude in agbada attire? Come on!! The biggest win is the directing and cinematography which are out of this world. I will give it a 7 which I considered generous.

positive

. . This movie is by far one of the best Nollywood x Netflix screen plays. For those of us who are AUTHENTICALLY Nigerian, it is an ode to our youth, the acting style, the story line speaks to the cultural differences. A must watch if you ask me.

positive

I loved everything about it and I can't wait for the second sequel. The acting was on point and it most definitely had me at the edge of my seat. I wish it didn't just end like that, I wanted more. So hopefully they come out with the second part soon.

positive

Blood Sisters is a testament to the fact that the Nigerian Film Industry is fully matured to tell its story. I (we) have seen many fantastic movies, however, Blood Sisters is different in all ramifications: it is indeed a masterpiece. The theme of the movie is understandable, discernible, and visible. The characters are round pegs that fit perfectly into their respective round holes and the story is smashing. Amazing work from the stable of EbonyLife Studios. Great job!

diamond in the dust

This is Good. Watch without a condescending mindset. Good story , needs a bit of brushing up and character development as the show goes on. But you're in for a thrill with some few twist that leaves you in suspense.

positive

. . . . All together, this was a beautiful one.

The entire cast and crew deserve Sweet Potatoes from me.. .

Timeyin brought it home. Kemi is that friend. Slow Jo is the kind of Inspector we need in Africa and the security lady in yellow/mustard from the hotel 😍😉😟 can have those expressions. She should have mmmmmm, longerrrrrr.

positive

I must say one of the best suspense movie coming out of Nollywood. You have to understand the Nollywood journey to fully appreciate this production. This has set the bar and it will only get better from here. Well done Nollywood. Good to see industry not belonging to the corrupt government but the benefit going directly to the hard working Entrepreneurs in country.

positive

Once I got used to the over-the-top soap opera style of this show I enjoyed it a lot. The first episode was a corker that draws you in to the intrigue. The costumes were incredible & the hero's and villains well drawn. The plot is highly implausible at times but I was able to overlook that & just enjoy it for the wild ride this show takes you on. Unlike many Netflix series, at 4 episodes it was the perfect length.

positive

It's an interesting story gritty and messy but that's the thrill. Lovely picture. Keeps you on the edge. As a writer I can understand the level of work put in to this and I am proud of it. It's giving energy of many possibilities in Nollywood and that's impressive!

positive

This is a brilliant delivery and execution by the entire team. The suspense, the plot twist, the actors, locations, cinematography, production design, costume, the sound tracks, we honestly have not had a beautifully coordinated movie like this in the industry for a while.

positive

I enjoyed this limited series, like everything. Yeah there might have been a few hiccups here and there but it's definitely something you could overlook when immersed in the story. Liked how the characters were believable. Honestly, everything worked for me. Ebonylife is always setting the pace 👍

It is bold and absolutely refreshing, little wonder it's trending globally, a proud moment for everyone involved.

As a Nigerian American, ever since I've been exposed to American cinematography, Nigerian cinematography has been so far belo America's that I've lost all taste for Nigerian movies and deride the. Constantly. I was pleasantly surprised by this. Couldn't get enough well done.

positive

This series is amazing, Africa number one Series! Nice plotting. Unbelievable, Nancy Isime Killed it (Best of Nancy)! I, Totally recommend... It's really good! Please watch, if you haven't done yet. Film series dey pass film series, Blood Sis is a Top Notch.

positive

Wow..... I really enjoyed the movie, had to see it over and over. Had to call my white Colleagues at work to go see the movie on Netflix.

positive

. . I think this is one of the best nollywood movies/series I've seen in a while. The cast was one of the reasons why I watched and their performance was great, you can tell they gave it their best. I also liked the fact that they used the series as a way to spread awareness on domestic violence. The storyline was really good and I really liked the plot twists. However, I would say that some parts were a bit cringe (which was to be expected) specifically the Officer Chicago scenes. I really don't think he was relevant to the plot (in my opinion) However, if you ignore those cringe-worthy scenes, you will find that it was a pretty good storyline and nollywood has definitely stepped up their game. The lead actors were amazing as well. I can't wait to see more projects like this for sure.

positive

. . This is one of a kind in Nigeria. A strong story, a stellar cast with a groundbreaking performance from everybody, and high production value. Shoutout to Genoveva Umeh who plays Timeyin. She did more than justice to her role. I see her being the biggest breakout star from Nollywood this decade.

positive

. . This is the best Nollywood + Netflix collaboration I have ever seen.. . . . The movie is all encompassing from the crew to the cast. The producers did a wonderful job likewise the directors.. . . . All thanks to Mo Abudu (EbonyLifeTV) that was a great series in the books of Naija series record.

positive

no likeable characters. . . You know how when you watch a movie/series and you root for one or more characters to win? I can't do that with this series. Everyone is either evil or just too stupid. But I give 5 stars for holding my attention.

positive

I felt proud watching this as a Nigerian. From the casting, to the execution and the delivery. I thought this show had the right amount of suspense and unpredictability. The way the gave subtle hints into they whys. Why the mother detested the other kids and favored her love-child, etc. Great stuff!

positive

Perfect acting, pace, plot, intentions of characters. 4 episodes are just right for the whole story. And the ending was perfectly suspenseful. I wonder if Timeyin really killed her mother. I would've done it if I was her.. . . . I even cried when Akin found out the secret room of that abuser....those drawings. They reminded me of my own traumatic experience.

positive

Not to say so much, Blood sisters just raised the bar in creating stories that would keep you at the edge of your seat! I loved the best-friends connection. Not once did any of them blame the other for the predicament they found themselves in, gives you a glimpse on what a good friendship should look like.. . . . I also felt bad for bestman (Akin), felt like his grief got coupled with finding out that what you know about your long time friend was a facade.

positive

Blood Sisters is a absolute feast. Best 4 hour binge you will spend on Netflix. It builds up to an explosive ending you don't see coming. Can not wait to see what happens in the next instalment. A Nigerian production like you've never seen. World class!

positive

Blood Sisters reminds us that life can happen to the best of people, and chances are that it won't always be fair. Beautifully made, beautiful location, what's not to love about this series! I thoroughly enjoyed every episode.

positive

It's got a good plot... Nice movie... They put good use to their stars...top movie... I can't begin to explain every twist and turns and every suspense in the movie I can't but say the movie is worth all my data... I am about to watch again for the third time... I can't get enough already.

This is one of the best Nigerian movies ever. I am impressed by the never ending twists and the end?. . . . Kudos to everyone who made this possible.. . . . This is simply the best....
