Why you should watch: This space-aged took at Lagos in the not-too-distant future is Disney’s first collaboration with an African animation studio, Kugali Media, and is notable for that alone. But the show also looks very cool and is inventive for the adolescent entertainment genre. It’s the coming-of-age story of a feisty teen girl, Tola, who has led a sheltered existence in Lagos’s wealthier suburbs. She has eye-opening adventures in the rough-and-tumble city centre with the aid of a superpowered lizard buddy. You could do much worse looking for decent fare to share with any younger viewers at home.
“Dune: Part Two” delivers, Winslet wasted, highwayman hijinks and hip-hop artists harassed
