  • Sit back and relax

    This detective series is much slower paced than others. This gives the viewer a chance to appreciate culture and detection in Botswana. The scenery is varied and the characters reveal small traits about themselves, as everyday life unfolds in South Africa. A sometimes amusing and other times poignant revelation of trials and troubles solving crimes in a ladies detective agency. Enjoying the change of pace.

  • DVD content

    This DVD set doesn't include 7 episodes as advertised, but includes episodes 2 to 7, a total of 6. Episode 1 is the 2 hour pilot (that is not included). Still well worth a watch though.
