Movie Review: Blood Sisters (2022)

Plot: Bound by a dangerous secret, best friends Sarah and Kemi are forced to go on the run after a wealthy groom disappears during his engagement party.

Review: The story centers on two friends, Sarah and Kemi, one becomes a fugitive after one of them killed the other’s intending groom, Kola Ademola, at the wedding introduction. They would have to keep running to avoid police investigators and the family bodyguard of the murdered person.

As almost everyone tried to find Kola‘s killer, many secrets about Kola, his siblings, his mother, and his family feud became public knowledge. It is a limited series of four episodes, each running for an average of 57 minutes, and was created by Temidayo Makanjuola.

‘Blood Sisters’ is Netflix’s first Nigerian original series, and the most viewed Nigerian series on Netflix, beating Kemi Adetiba’s ‘King of Boys’ to that record.

From May 2 to May 8, it stayed in the number 9 spot on the global viewership chart. According to Netflix, ‘Blood Sisters’ attracted about 11,070,000 hours of viewing. On May 10, one of the stars in the series, Kate Henshaw announced that ‘Blood Sisters’ hit the top 10 rated in over 30 countries.

The Blood sister combines series of top actors and actresses.

The show has a nice neap and flows to it, while the actors certainly give their all, even if there is a bit of operating, It’s not perfect, and some people will be put off by the simplicity of it all, but honestly, if this is a sign of more to come, we’re all for additional African productions making it onto the bigger platform.
