Shaka iLembe is a well researched story, filmed magnificently. The production values are very high and huge credits to the near perfect cast for strong performances all around. The story does take a while to get going especially without much of the exposition initially to explain what's really going on and what the stakes are. A slow burn at first but when it does, especially around e04, boy does it roar. I liked the individual stories about different Kings and the family interactions that lead to disputes and how struggles and challenges form character that ultimately reflects on the style of leadership. Dingiswayo's narrative surprisingly had the best storyline that could have been an epic tale in its own right. Overall a great watch and well worth the somewhat longish episodes.
