Can't wait for season 2

Watched this on BritBox, enjoying the diverse options... thought is was only three episodes at first, the last three episodes were Great. With a three black women lead, I was drawn in from the trailer. Stories had a lot of twist and turns. No tears but plenty of suspense. To have three main characters, they build each character up well. Chantelle character and trials were heavy for me if you have young children. I enjoyed seeing an immigration story to Europe from the Bahamas. We don't see many of those stories in America. If you enjoyed Black Cake, you well enjoy the tale. Come on season 2.

I was so impressed with this series. It really goes into the Windrush and the trials and tribulations that the Jamaicans and other West Indians went through, even though they were British citizens. The series is beautifully written and the entire cast is superb. They are a true ensemble and every episode has you on the edge of your seat, wondering what comes next. It runs the gamut of emotions, and is a binge-worthy series. I watched the entire thing in one sitting. I couldn't stop. It'a truly superlatively designed, directed, acted and costumed piece of filmmaking. I can't wait for Series 2! Bring it on, Sir Lenny Henry!

Just speechless words cannot begin to explain the pure power excellence, and just Wow of this miniseries. It's been such a long time since I've actually set glue to the TV screen the entire time the actors and actress left you wanting more each episode I take my head off to the Director, the writer, wardrobe, and even the extras, gave it a little razzle dazzle. We need more please.. Sending love from Pennsylvania. Wait I'm not done lol. I just can't believe a jewel as such is just being brought to my attention as of 2/06/24 . I most definitely will be running to my TikTok platform to bring some light to this series. @Ancestorswildesdream.

Three Little Birds is a triumph! Created by Lenny Henry the story set in the late 50s in Britain is well crafted and comes across as an authentic production for the period. All of the actors involved give superb performances enhanced by the direction and strong dialogue. Stand outs for me were the costumes, sets and props reinforcing the period of the story. Despite the challenges faced by the main ensemble of characters in the story, there's still a promise of hope and joy. Migration stories are important to tell and Three Little Birds is a valuable contribution to the story of Jamaican migration to the UK. Highly recommended.
