This miniseries was Good.

Pros: I like how Pan-African was represent in a futuristic way.  Tola was fun and adorable. This series is very committed with its messaging of family, dreams, betrayal and overcoming your environment The pet Otin was surprisingly awesome and the main villain Bode was menacing.
