Get Millie Black

I thought this was a really good series and couldn't believe the low 6.5 rating in IMDb. I am a fan of police/crime/thriller/mystery dramas, however so many are mundane, formulaic, and predictable. So I welcomed this series which was a refreshing break from the formulaic stuff being churned out nowadays. I thought it fast-paced and believable with clever and moving interwoven plotlines.

I did have a problem understanding the Jamaican dialect which I'm not accustomed to and wished subtitles had been provided (not available with my edition). Yet one still cares about the main protagonists and what will happen to them. I did lose a sense of plot twists occasionally but that didn't affect my overall enjoyment of the series. I'm already on the lookout for Season 2.

I don't understand this low rating nor the lack of ratings. Is everybody just watching some holywood lemonades? It is still new, but fearing it might go undetected.

This is finally a good crime drama cop show. The kinda that slaps you in your face saying this can be very very real.

Well, at least for now and hopefully will stay like that. Kinda refreshing... didn't watch a good crime show in a while. It is dark and raw but It is still a classic. Classic story plot hidding there.

And every actor is playing their role perfectly, nice job in selecting them. Also the picturesque Jamaica and it's gheto, whoa!!

Meet Millie Black" is a standout series that sets a new benchmark for filmmaking in Jamaica. From the opening scene, it's clear that this is a love letter to the island, showcasing its raw beauty and cultural complexity with unparalleled authenticity. The writing is refreshingly natural, capturing the rhythms of Jamaican life and language without artifice or cliché. Each dialogue feels organic, pulling the viewer deeper into Millie's world.

The acting is equally stellar, with performances that resonate on both emotional and intellectual levels. The titular character, Millie Black, is brought to life with nuance and depth, her struggles and triumphs portrayed in a way that feels deeply relatable. Supporting characters shine just as brightly, creating a rich tapestry of personalities that reflect Jamaica's vibrant spirit.

What truly elevates Meet Millie Black is the visual storytelling. The cinematography captures Jamaica in a way rarely seen on screen, highlighting its beauty, grittiness, and the unique interplay between modernity and tradition. This level of attention to detail and craftsmanship has been sorely missed in Jamaican cinema, and it's a joy to see it executed so masterfully here.

This series is a game-changer, not just for Jamaican storytelling, but for global audiences hungry for fresh, authentic voices. Meet Millie Black has set a high standard, and I can't wait to see more projects of this caliber emerge. It's a must-watch.

Some things are hard for me to stomach, some scenes cause me discomfort but, the show overall is good, so far. Have to ignore the tom foolery and you'll enjoy it. I don't think certain people will care for much of it because it does not shy away from race. An accurate depiction if you ask me. The characters feel very real, I cant think of any character that plays any sort of noticeable role that does not feel authentic. Well, maybe the main character in a way, as everyone feels as if they are life long, born and raised in Jamaica, Jamaicans, Miller, doesn't. Wait a segundo, she was born there but!......this is a pretty good watch.

I am joining to the ones who gave 10/10 for this series. Raw and tangible, keeps your attention awake from the first scene to... The whole story is very real, the actors makes it more credible. You can feel that this is the true face of Kingston in Jamaica. Bright skins in a hot climate, ruined walls of houses in a poor capital.

This series put Jamaican films in the movie business. It is on the same level with True detectives 1st and The Major of Kingstone.

What a different point of view to see Jamaica from the mainland instead of the oceanview resorts. It is also refreshing to watch real Jamaican faces!
