Charming "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" brought to life on HBO


"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

The books are wonderful. Looking forward to the show.

I really wanna see it because of Anika Noni Rose. I hope it's good.

I loved these books, DVRing the movie. I guess I didn't really picture Mma Ramotswe looking so young. And I always pictured Don Cheadle as J.L.B. Matekoni.

I do like the books (or remember liking them; I haven't read any in about 4 years), but given the movie's pedigree, it just...wasn't that great. Anika Noni Rose was really funny and good, though.

Do they only take cases for ladies?

I don't think so - but they do tend to get most of their cases from women, if I remember correctly.

I actually really liked it. I've never read any of the books but found myself flipping channels as it was starting and I just loved their accents so decided to keep watching. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Loved Grace (Anika Noni Rose)!

Intriguing idea, until I saw that the vile Anthony Minghella directed it. Life's too short to waste on his sh*t flicks.
