Shanty Town Review: Mindless Brutality and Violence Replaces Plot ... (Leisurebyte)

This gritty, violent series is a multi-lingual Nigerian thriller drama that stars Ini Edo, Chidi Mokeme, Nancy Isime, Nse Ikpe-Etim, Peter Okoye and Richard ...

There is no character development, a sub-par antagonist and a storyline that seems to glorify criminals and their lavish lifestyle. Most shows employ a sequence of events that give birth to a narrative. If they had spent less time on side-by-side shots and montages of women dancing, they could have possibly made it to the plot at some time. Apart from that, there is a strange hierarchy given to the English language. Two of the family members die, and one of the girls is taken into a drug cartel that also doubles as a prostitution ring. It would be expected that the plot would come in at some point now but to no avail.

A group of courtesans attempts to escape the grasp of a notorious kingpin – but political corruption and blood ties make freedom a near-impossible goal. Shanty Town is a Nigerian series that arrives on Netflix to offer us (a little discouraging) vision that, we warn you, will not please everyone: a sordid vision of a shanty town, prostitution, smuggling, injustice, violence and the cruel reality lived in it.

What if we told you Shanty Town isn't the first time Nse Ikpe Etim and Ini Edo have worked together? Let's take a trip down memory lane.

But I hear it has Chidi Mokeme, Shaffy Bello, Toyin Abraham and Rita Dominic. She’s also responsible for Reloaded, the film that helped launch Nse Ikpe Etim’s career in 2009. Because, tell me, where else you’d find Shaffy Bello, Richard Mofe Damijo, Ini Edo, Joke Silva, Falz, Funke Akindele and Kate Henshaw all in one film? This ensemble drama was chaotic AF (there’s a police car chase scene), served us lewks and still had stars like Genevieve Nnaji, Rita Dominic, Ini Edo and Uche Jombo. Nollywood is choosing vawulence in 2023, and I’m here for it. With such a star-studded cast, it’s almost impossible for the actors to not have worked together before.

There are a lot of holes in the story that need to be filled, but we’re not willing to work through all the violence and grimness to find those answers. Perhaps there will be shafts of light on the show, like the kind of new life Jackie will begin now that she is free of Scar’s clutches. As the family tries to escape the chaos and bloodshed, one of the sisters is shot, as is the man who helped them escape. Meanwhile, Inem (Ini Edo), the twin that didn’t get shot in 2004, is about to be released from prison. During the party, Jackie encourages her friend Shalewa (Nancy Isime) to pay Scar off early by borrowing money from her. There are just some shows where you look at them and think, “Is there anything positive that we can get out of watching this?” We don’t ask for much; even if it gives us insight into how people in a certain part of the world live, that might be enough to carry us.
