This Is It (TV series)

Abigael Arunga for Daily Nation (Kenya) praised the story and performance of the cast members, but felt that the role of "Dede" (played by Chy Nwakanma) was overly dramatized in some instances.[3] Ife Olujuyigbe for True Nollywood Stories gave it a 75% rating, but criticized the lack of talents in the child actors used in the series, and recommended proper auditioning to fix it. It also panned the performance of "Toby", an old friend of one of the main cast, describing him as a "terrible actor". The believability of the appearance of characters in flashbacks were also highlighted as not being properly done. The film was praised for his picture quality, sound and the chemistry between "Tomide" and "Dede", with the reviewer envisaging a possibility of a real-life relationship between them. It summarized its review by concluding that "This is It is a total package of fun, love and everything in between.".[4][5] It also received positive remarks from YNaija.[6]
