Synopsis:

After the death of her husband, Mrs. Adams was left to steer the reigns of a family that included three grown daughters that had chaotic lives of their own. 

Review: 

The first chapter opens with the surprise/surprise birthday party. This initial conflict captured the spirit of the series and it was on from there.

Baaba (Yvonne Okoro) struggled to rekindle the spark in her marriage, Kukua (Naa Ashorkor) dabbled in an affiar that she was still hiding from her ex, and Jennifer (Jocelyn Dumas) slept with a younger man believing that he was the son of a wealthy client.

Each character faced challenges amongst the various stories, which were interwoven with every stitch in place. There are ten parts to the series, each leaving you with bated breath for the next. 

Let’s Talk. Adams Apples showcases modern Ghana amidst the authenticity of African culture. It offers a glimpse of city life in Ghana that is rarely seen in African movies. The sets, the houses, fashion, and music are just stellar. 

Love, lies, secrets, and videotape are usually the makings of a good movie but what distinguishes Adams Apples are the relationships. Here the siblings argue, tease, and criticize, but they always support each other. It’s the love at the core of the family that was heartfelt and believable. 

In terms of casting, Fred Kanebi (Gerald) was a smart choice. He delivered such a great balance of youth and maturity. His scenes with both the younger girlfriend and older seemed effortless.Performances were actually great but it was the rapport between the characters that was crème de la crème.

The only irksome thing about this series actually had nothing to do with the movie. It was Soul Knight’s hair. Seriously? Is all that hair necessary? He has more hair than all of the women combined.  If his character was a rock star then it may have been acceptable. Other than that he was in need of better grooming for the role.

Ultimately, while some movies leave an audience with questions, Adams Apples tied up every loose end except one. It wasn’t revealed if Linda (Roselyn Ngissah) ever reached her “goal”, well at least by the end of the tenth segment. Subsequent episodes of Adams Apples have not been reviewed by this website.

Adams Apples is a huge accomplishment. It’s sinfully good and beautifully done. RECOMMEND
