The premise of the show focuses on the fictional South African Agency with Thusi, Chiedze Mhende, Loyiso Madinga, and Rob van Vuuren as top spy agents.
Her life is further complicated by her on-and-off romance with Shandu , whose life has taken a dark turn. The action sequence, editing and directing are far more exciting and pacy in episodes helmed by Tebogo Malope than those spearheaded by Lediga .
Queen Sono lost my interest after episode one. It’s choppy, disjointed and lacks the fluidity to hold my interest. The acting is amatuer and seems forced, not genuine. Great scenes but the characters are shallow, no depth at all. It had potential, it just needed to get to the point faster.
Do y’all even have Netflix? Cuz I swear we didn’t watch the same show
I rate it 4/5 stats, sit down.
Watched it and was hooked ❤️❤️❤️
SO DISSAPPOINTED IN FOR THIS !!!! BREAKING DOWN OUR OWN QueenSono FOR WHAT AGENDA I WONDER!!! U GOT THE HATERS SHOOK PEARL!!!!! QueenSono PROUDLYOURS!!!!
Baseless haterade.
Check the Netflix trends🙄🙄🙄
Nonsense! Stop these lies at once!!!!
The NY Times and The Hollywood Reporter gave it a similar review. The people responding don’t seem to understand that “take off” is in reference to the writing/directing & not viewer/commercial success
Ninyile nomona
This headline was some form of sabotage.. it was intentionally calculated to discourage people from viewing.. sies
All lies yhey amanga
Why this negativity
Lol. Sowetan. Ijo. How can it, this review was written 3 months back based of social media beefs, I think. Bravo...I am shocked beyond belief. This is sad. Why couldn't you just shut the fuck up. To quote refiloe ' so much going in this country, you ain't gotta write sht about me

😂😂😂 The monopoly was found shaking!! Trying by all means to discredit Queen Sono i see. FYI, Netflix is here to stay.
To take off where when even people in USA are crazy about forsek wena msunu 🤮🤮
Whoever wrote this is a bitter person. This series was better than a James Bond or Marvel movie. You know nothing about good movies/series. Your strength is probably bashing black excellence.QueenSonoNetflix
What a lie. Oh wow.
Hayi uxokelani
FACT! Let me go WATCH
No sales and content ne, new editor maybe?
So to our media this is a front, just to celebrate failer
We understand too much loadshedding on your side..its hard to keep up..umuncu..
This headline should rather read: OLD AND DESPERATE 'NEWSPAPER' FAILS TO REPORT ACCURATELY. LIKE WTH?
Net vir daai ding I will watch! Sowetan you sounding a tad bitter, are you somehow related to DStv?!!
Brika Motho on a Sunday nogal. Fok man. Stop.

The bosses must be feeling the pressure season 2 might show how the puppet masters control the newspapers. queensono is a master piece africa needs this.
Umona
You know a series takes time to pick up right ? Your'll are clowns ĺ
Can people stop hating on their own sisters and brothers please. QueenSono is a masterpiece, great work by KagisoLediga and his team. We are proud of you sir.
I've always said this is being controlled by the whites. They pushing propaganda left and right
I can’t wait for the second season. 👍🏽👏🏽👌🏾

Mona kuphela.
Meanwhile we are enjoying Queen Sono on Netflix already🤣🤣🤣
Your headline failed to take off, msooon
Is Emmanual Tjiya (person who wrote this 'article') a journalist or a film & TV critic?
NIQAMBELANI AMANGA YOOOOOOO U GUYS NAXOKA AKHO NEED
Do you have Netflix though
Stop LYING TO US? Where and how did it fail to take off. Aga maahn! Instead one uplifting one of our own doing great. U just wanna take their name to the mud. Sies be shameful of urself. Or rethink this news thing nxa
Mnxim stop lying
Sowetan and DSTV are owned by Naspers, we know the agenda.
Jealous much get a life
Just from these comments ima start watching it
Take off to where🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This article failed to take off
Ke sono.
What a drunk review. It should be tested for COVID-19. 'For a spy thriller there is too much dialogue!' Does Emmanuel think that the Bond quotables come from no dialogue and palpitating action only ...?
Your review of QueenSono sucks. Le jealous na?
So the whole does not have Netflix. Stop writing shit stories without facts
Like the queen Pearl once said, Unyoko. This crap article is what failed to take off.
fighting hard for relevance QueenSono
The last thing I need in this Entertainment industry is fake news. Thank God I’m not following . How low can you guys go? QueenSono ❤️PearlThusi you are doing great 🙌🏾 best acting in Africa I’ve seen thus far 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Twitter reviews begs to differ with you
I’m watching Ep.3, done with the first 2🤷🏿♂️
uMsoon wakho ....who send you to write this RUBISH you Cockroach😠😡
Sowetan are out of headlines..leave Queen Sono alone..it rocks
Up watching it and loving it😉
WHY ARE YOU LYING?! 😂

khensie_dee
Haters gonna hate hate hate 😤
Le maaka.
And u call this a review 🤣🤣🤣 go read a very good analytical review on Time magazine abt QueenSono. Dude, take off where, how? Did u even see PearlThusi a jampa lebota? Le ya dlala lona
No wonder...i only learnt about this series a day ago...the marketing team failed dismally
Netflix got yal breathin through the Wound hey! I mean your standards are already low, how you expect to rate high quality standards baffles me. You just couldn't wait to spread Negativity about it from the beginning! Tell your bosses to jst accept defeat and shut up! QueenSono
Watching right now. Shocked by this headline
Can't be. Im loving it so far
Lol breathing through the wound heh 🤣
La loya shem
O bua marete
The hate is real though, which one are you talking about? Haai sies maan
Haai wena, which queen were you watching? Because you can’t be talking about QueenSono
I love Pearl and all her previous work but i must admit, i watched half of the first episode and ........i wasn’t impressed. Stopped watching.
Lies its actually very good so far and I cant wait to watch more episodes
I will be watching it tonight
Just watched it. I’m hooked. It’s very good.
This is a lie.
I love it already, enjoyed the music as well. I rate it 9/10.
I disagree I watched the whole season 1 today and I loved it. Kudos to KagisoLediga pearlthusi and the rest of the cast. I was mesmerized right through! Khawme Sowetan Live
😳 huh?
I'm watching it rn, I'm hooked. Stop spreading negativity
Ngokwenu lokho...thina eDiaspora we are lapping it up! Anything African we support it strong . Well done wena Pearl...ps Q, Miri and the World bank researcher girl..your ABS got me heading to the gym. ❤❤❤❤❤
I watched episode 1 and I enjoyed it. And will definitely watch all the episodes this weekend
Has it failed already?
Hahahah hate hate hate .....
Niyahlanya voetsek
Don’t agree with this review at all - QueenSonoNetflix QueenSono is great - local nuances , music / sound design , political commentary- I’m hooked
Hayi suka!!!
Went through 5 episodes this morning. I'm loving it.
Are you gonna finish the sentence?
It would seem that SowetanLive has an issue against this project. Instead of providing a positive message to encourage others to watch they are planting a seed to dissuade viewers. They are a total disgrace!
You just gave everybody a reason to watch it
'Fails to take off' implies no one watched it & it flopped financially. Unless you have facts to back this up, this 'review' should be titled as such & the 'reviewer' should have made it clear that this was his subjective, personal point of view & let people make up own minds?
Completely disagree. It’s actually a really good series.
Good stuff.
I think I saw a tweet by PhathuMakwarela saying it is interesting.... if Phuthu says it is 👌🏼 then I believe him. I’m gonna watch it.
.... people who watched it say it is interesting.... I will go with what the majority of people say
What a whack article , headline should read more like true journalism in SA fails to meet the bar
Really now, I watched it and insofar not disappointed. Disconcertingly premature for the to come out and make such a discouraging & far fetched statement, considering that it's early stages. Profound plot in my opinion for a South African piece.
Le bua mas*pa
Lapho on episode 6 I was like ' I want more'. It was a brilliant take off if you ask me.
A bit early to call it a flop! I have all the faith in the world that QueenSono will do good. Wishing you all that's good PearlThusi QueenSonoNetflix
It's on my list of what to watch, can't wait.
I haven't seen it yet but the noise is too loud for Monopoly to feel the pressure. They are now using theuseless media to trash it. Try something else please.
Just launched yesterday why
Lapho am done watching, waiting for more episodes...
The ratio will tell you everything about this review.
Nah! I doubt that. We already hoocked and it premiered yesterday!
I disagree with every single bit of this review. It is more biased than it is objective.
Shame on you.
this article is crap😂😂😂
