Rotten Tomatoes calls Run The World (Starz) a series about black women striving for world domination but wethinks Beyonce left out the part about how tricky it is for us to get in formation!

Rebooting the eighties and nineties is a tall ask. But when you replace boots with imagination, Fresh Prince spin off Bel Air is what you get. Lez diggy in!

Another two-parter, in this episode we take a closer look at the new wife and the politics of the matriarch. What does it really mean to be a wife in this very South Africa context? It's a long story ya'll.
Ziyakhala more!

Season five is here and almost out of the door! But before the end, we look back at our day ones, their arcs, lows and pivots... and reflect. It's a long goodbye in three parts.
For part three, we're looking at the family that carried us through. Where would we be without Kelly, Tiffany, Derek, Chad, Ahmal and lest we forget, Daniel? We've been spoilt!

A lot happens on Jiva. We sit down with the Netflix Mzansi original and wonder out loud whether we should be dancing rather? Either way, we break it down. Listen to us!
