Season 2
rozrl18 September 2021
I loved Season 1 and I could hardly wait for Season 2. I realize we are in a Covid Pandemic and things are not as they were. I love all the characters and actors. I was a bit disappointed in the storylines but I figured it had something to do with Covid. I am hoping there will be a Season 3 because Season 2 was way way too short. I watched the whole season in one day. Even though I feel Season 2 did not stand up to Season 1 I am still looking forward to a Season 3 and hope it will be more than 6 episodes. I look forward to Maliq and Nekka's relationship. Captain needs to get out of jail. Stella needs to tell the sisters who what and whatever. What's gonna happen to the Son? And what happened to his friend that took the rap for him hitting and killing the person. Teger and Remi need to get it together. Oooh "low hanging fruit"? That was a low blow. And what is Remi doing with Mike? I like all the characters. So hopefully you'll keep bringing on the new Series.

Great visuals; dialogue needs work
layard-2394226 April 2020
This is a diamond in the rough!!!

The series is a visual masterpiece...layout, color palette, wardrobe are all collectively and individually magnificent.

Stella, Monday and Captain's characters sometimes border on buffoonery although individually and collectively they do add some comic relief.

Dialogue requires work...much work. It appears the actors are allowed to ad-lib and, it is not effortless. The quality of discussions sound issues of law is elementary at best.

Definitely keep the visual aspects of the show...I luv how it visually show case African influenced designs & issues. Maintain the code switching between English and Yoroba/igbo. I would expect that in a firm. I strongly suggest some investment in the dialogue...I expect better from an up and coming law firm.

octai1 March 2020
This series had me just HOOKED within the first 20 mins. of the show! I just loved everything about it from beginning to end. Especially, the REAL-LIFE examples/reason the people needed lawyers. And, OMG! The laughter throughout this serious is non-stop.. I just hated for Season 1 to end. PLZ, BRING SEASON 2 TO US VERY SOON!! 😊 PEACE & BLESSINGS TO THE ENTIRE CAST!! 💜✨

Excellent Storyline and Great Characters
tresinalockhart8 March 2020
Can't wait for Season 2!!! The show is well written, the characters are fully developed and the story lines are complex. The female characters are strong and dynamic and all of the actors own their roles and develop manage to deliver the twist and turns of the plots. Well down Netflix! I am huge fan of the Nigerian cinema Netflix delivers. It is not canned remakes of American or British TV. it is a great introspective into the lives of Nigerians for the global audience.

Fantastic Series from Nigeria
gingersnapsaman8 March 2020
I love love this series. Great scenery. Fantastic acting. Everybody was giving their A game. The jokes were natural and very relatable. It was educative as well. That case of the widow fighting her in laws was relatable and I honestly never knew the legal system in Nigeria could support her. Dakore was all woman - beautiful, fierce, smart and sexy, RMD grey foxiness was a perfect foil. Nneka oh Nneka. You lighten up my day anytime with her fiersomeness. I loved all her cares. And ode to Malik. Still waters run deep eh. Please what the heck happened to the bribery video??? Episode ended with my mouth agape. Well played Judge. Kwabena - our own playboy. Denola - got the part of the confused spoiled son to a tee. Finally redeemed himself in the last episodes.

I didnt agree with all the unorthodox hiring and firing and casual assault. but again, very relatable. Can't wait for Season 2.

Good watch
moniquebowers25 September 2021
The lead female role a huge disappointment. She is selfish, arrogant, immoral and just as money hungry as her father in the show. She is disrespectful to her husband, belittles and undermines him every chance she gets. She is a huge hypocrite as well.

Loose story line & dry comedy
nonsojr28 March 2020
Not well researched storyline. It is absolutely disappointing that a movie based on legal cases was not well researched. How can a Senior Advocate of Nigeria not know that charges are not filed by the victim or the victim's relative in a criminal case? Culpable homicide, rape etc are offences against the state and not against the victims! The entire series could have been made better without the dry humor of overacting Stella(Anee Icha). Her acting, along with that of the document controller is below standard and I am surprised the director of the series did not see this! Overall, the series is unwatchable, below standard, loose storyline, dry over-theatrical comedy. I would not recommend this series.

VExcellent and well portrayed series about the Nigerian Legal system
omowunmiaje9 February 2021
Very informative about the Nigerian Legal System. It also portrays the challenges in family business and the compromises that follow.

Season 2 Please!
dr_searles20 July 2020
I watched "Fifty Series" and came upon Castle & Castle because of Tola face was familiar. I love this series and would love for a season 2 to come! I just hate that if left me hanging on the last episode, like a season 2 would be coming. So please give us a season 2!!

Actually Amazing
chogbonnaya1 June 2020
It has everything. Binge watched the entire season. Brilliant cast and has useful legal information for their target audience. Educational, suspense filled, funny and relatable characters. What more can you ask for? It literally ticks al the boxes.

Slow Burn to Brilliant
mrideeas4 April 2020
Castle & Castle takes the best of the legal service industry and showcases it exquisitely. Some of the names not just in the cast but in production show that painstaking detail has been taken to produce something realistic of an ideal legal industry in Lagos. Expect excellent production value. Acting is not our strongest forte in Nigeria, sometimes characters seem detached and untethered to the reality of their immediate situation (like having a conversation they've already had before) and in the start you may be tempted to think that is all there is to it, but if you stopped there you'd miss out on an excellent storyline that gradually draws you in. We love drama, so you'll get that, and aside for some funny scenes where the actors are struggling to not laugh themselves you start to warm quickly to the characters- Stella is a joker (a difficult character socioculturally and demographic-wise both posh and street not easy to do). I am a Litigator and I am impressed by the work put in, I was held by the storyline and I truly applaud a really impressive piece of work. Here's to excellence in the arts because this one closely imitates life. Well done guys, very well done. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Please let there be a Season 3
nanagirl-1006213 December 2021
I truly enjoyed the accidental find! I wish I could purchase a poster from the opening title.

All of the actors were very good. I enjoyed how the show was able to explain the cultural themes without making it heavy. There is also a bit of levity that does not undermine the fact that the show is about a law firm.

It is well worth the Bing watch. Sadly it leaves Netflix 14 Dec 2021.

I truly, truly enjoy that the show portrays black Nigerian professionals at there best. Something sadly missing from American television.

I'd enjoy a season three.

Bingeworthy
cnwonye5 April 2020
Castle & Castle is a well written dramatic Nollywood series. The characters are multi-dimensional and realistic. As an American, I most enjoyed seeing the legal system in action against the backdrop of the uniqueness of Lagos. Each case offers a glimpse at the diversity within Nigerian culture. Every episode left me wanting to see MORE. I can't wait for Season 2. I am definitely a fan. Thank you, Netflix for making Castle & Castle available to us in the West.

A Refreshing Nigerian Series
sachette9 May 2020
Such a refreshing Nigerian series to watch without the awful music playing throughout the movie. However. I don't like that Netflix just carried Season 1, got me piqued and their is no season 2 to be found.

How about their Son. What About to Malik and Nneka. Did they end up together. So many questions to ask ask and ask. Please when will castle season 3 be out. Kindly give a specific date.
