“The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency” New On HBO Posted: 26 Mar 2009 10:07 AM PDT After opening her own private detective agency in Botswana (The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency), Precious Ramostswe has a lot to prove. Fortunately, she has a talent for smoking out the truth. With the help of Mma Makutsi, her highly-efficient secretary and friend, Ramostswe investigates cases and helps women solve problems in their lives. Three-time Grammy Award winner, Jill Scott, brings to life the character of Precious Ramostswe in the series based on the best-selling "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" book series by Alexander McCall Smith (Random House Publishers). Dreamgirls star, Anika Noni Rose, takes on the supporting role of Mma Makutsi, the quirky secretary. The cast is rounded out by Lucian Msamati, who portrays Ramotswe’s devoted suitor, JLB Matekoni.
I think the casting of Jill Scott and Anika Noni Rose is genius since they are both so talented and will undoubtedly be empowering to the women who watch this show. I'm also extremely interested in seeing a show set in Botswana. HBO has a reputation of creating incredible television shows (I'm personally hooked on Big Love and Entourage) so I'm sure viewers will not be disappointed. The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency premieres this Sunday, March 29 at 8pm/7C exclusively on HBO.
