A Nigerian woman sets off on a voyage to India for medical treatment of fibroids, while a young man, a singer and dancer also from Nigeria, heads to the same destination for a dance performance. Their travels mark the beginning of new chapters in their lives, filled with fresh dreams and friendships.
“Postcards” has just landed on Netflix, offering viewers a rich blend of cultures from Nigeria and India. Each brings its unique flair, combining to create a new, refreshing, and deeply human cocktail. Spanning six episodes, this series is a charming and profoundly human story available for streaming starting this Friday on Netflix.
About the Series: A Tale of Characters
Beyond its technical achievements, “Postcards” weaves a touching human story through aesthetically pleasing television storytelling. Don’t expect grandiose shots or exceptional cinematic execution; the series aims to capture viewers’ hearts with the kindness and charisma of its characters.
This isn’t “Game of Thrones.” There are no omnipresent villains here. Instead, you’ll find a “feel-good” series that delights viewers with the tales of two main characters and, significantly, their new friends. The show also gives a nod to new characters, marriages, and births, examining life and the passage of time through travel and the onset of an exciting, novel chapter.
The Cast
The story begins with the talented Sola Sobowale playing the ill woman and Tobi Bakre, soon joined by the excellent dancer Rajneesh Duggal and the deeply human actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo. These four main actors form the core of an ensemble cast, showcasing the acting prowess of each.
“Postcards” allows time to relish the dialogues and, although it encompasses many stories, each character is well-developed and evolves as the narrative unfolds. Each changes throughout their stories, presenting a multifaceted view of life in constant flux.
Our Opinion
“Postcards” may not revolutionize cinema or television, but it does offer an enjoyable and profoundly human experience. This character-driven, pleasant series has its humorous moments, like Tobi Bakre’s dance troupe, bringing bursts of color and a touch of the exotic.
Enjoy the show.
