Viewers of a popular television series by ‘Jennifer’s Diary’ in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have expressed mixed reactions over the programme.
The series produced by Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, remained one of the leading movie series in recent times that has garnered mixed reactions among movie viewers.
Some of them, who spoke on Tuesday, said the programme was entertaining and brought creativity into the industry, while others condemned her use of language.
Chidimma Okolo, an Abuja-based fashion designer, said the programme was creative and Akindele had brought her brand to bear in the television series.
“Jennifer’s Diary is creative and she brought her own kind of acting into the show which is different from the routine Nollywood acting we know.
“It is entertaining and it is a comedy which is as good as paying N5, 000 for comedy shows. “It is a reality show that is shot in modern settings. “It can also be recommended for children, because it doesn’t have any adult scene,” she said. According to her, characters in the series are not really popular artists and each of them brought their kind of flare into the television show.
Okolo, however, lamented that the time allocated for the show was not adequate for viewers, adding that adverts were taking more of the time. She noted that in spite of Akindele’s use of “corrupt English’’, the programme was still entertaining.
She added that the entertainment industry needed to produce movies and series as `Jennifer’s Diary’. Another viewer of the programme, Miss Ifeyinwa Ohanwe, a public servant described the programme as hilarious. “I enjoy watching the programme, because it is hilarious, entertaining and keeps you wanting to see
