Watched it over the last couple nights. It was as great as I expected it be.

.

Thanks again for letting us know that the series was coming out.

Gonna post here when I see the complete thing. Brilliant move releasing it around Memorial Day.

For the sake of discussion, I wish it came out like a traditional series, so that viewers could talk about each episode after it aired.
Glad that the Netflix platform exists. Unfiltered storytelling and documenting of history.

Enjoying this now. I really gotta get down to the Sea islands before the culture gets priced out.

Haven't watched it yet, but.......if you follow this thread, it sort of evolved into a Low Country/Louisiana cuisine appreciation thread. Unintentionally. But that highlights how important those two regions are in the history of the topic.

Those regions are the single two most important domiciles of palatable African influence among the Afram pop . Some rich black folk really, really need to go ahead and make it do what it do for the sake of preservation and the culture. .

Exceptionally well done. I'm at a loss for words.

I was wondering if they could spin this off into a longer term series . It’s that good.

I'm a long time fan of the book. Dr. Harris is perhaps the world's leading expert on African & Diaspora cuisine, having lived and studied in multiple countries. Her firsthand knowledge of West Africa is on full display in episode 1.Navigating the markets, speaking French to the lady vendor/waitress/restaurant owner, even in subtle way as they dine at the home of the artist.
Part of the excitement of the series was seeing it start off in Benin, rather than the places that are the usual locations for doc.s about African connections.

The natural spinoff for the series would be for them to do one for the Caribbean. English speaking, Spanish speaking, and French speaking. She has firsthand experience about the region, and perhaps could executive produce & collaborate with local historians and writers.

I've been reading the reviews and many have said that the series only covers half of the book. So there is enough content left to make another spinoff series.

We have to make a toast to the director, Roger Ross Williams. Great job.

Also, it went over my head the first time, but after covering segments about Hercules and James Hemings, two enslaved Black chefs, he followed that up with a scene showing

Spoiler

this is an interesting clip. They are discussing gumbo and the host happens to be from South Carolina, and he's talking to iconic New Orleans chef Leah Chase. (she screams on him and it's funny)

Her Maundy Thursday Gumbo resembles so much like Nigerian Ifo Riro Soup.

All is needed is a Louisiana episode.

SN: I'd absolutely LOVE to live & learn in Benin for a while.
