The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency
![]() |
Seriously, this is the best show on TV. Jill Scott stars as a humble, empathetic and endlessly clever detective– a Botswana-based feminist Sherlock Holmes– with indubitable moral character. What else do you want? A bookish yet intrepid secretary? A gay hairdresser? A shy middle-aged mechanic who’s somehow the perfect man? You’ve got it. It’s all here. All I want in life is an endless supply of No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. Please, HBO, let there be a Season 2!




























I second the motion. I am addicted to this show and I will be very crushed if it is not extended. What can we do to ensure there is a season 2!!!
should we organize a write in campaign to HBO?
let me know what you think because this is the best show I’ve seen since Whoopie and she only lasted one season. I can’t bear to lose another favorite show!
This is feel good tv all day long! With all that is going on in the world today one must have something to look forward to. Please! Please! Please! Let there be a season 2.
This series make one smile. I’ve watched the reruns and I still end up with a smile.
I certainly hope HBO will continue with this program!
(not much to smile about in the world nowdays)
I love this show, it’s very warm, and funny… this show has to continue, I’m confused as to why it’s not on demand anymore. What do we have to do to keep this show running. This is HBO’s best show. A true family show, with good heart felt people and characters. As oppose to some of the other violent shows HBO airs. No.1 Ladies Detective Agency brings balance to the HBO series. Let’s keep this show running…
It makes me want to go to Botswana, come on now…
We thoroughly enjoyed this show. Looked forward to Sunday all week. How will we know if there is a season #2? Please HBO, bring it back!
Please let there be a season 2….I have the shows on DVR and have watched and re-watched them dozens of time. By now I would have worn out a DVD. Watching this series always leaves me with such a good feeling. The cast is superb.
I, too, wish they would bring #1 Ladies back. They even took the episodes off On-Demand. I am not happy about that…referring people to the show and now it’s gone.
It must return for a second season because I will it so. I luv me some Ms. Scott; she pours such heart into Precious.
kisses!
please bring back #1 Ladies Detective Agency. best show on TV!!
There has to be a season 2. This is one production that is even better than the book. The acting is superb and the setting makes it one of my life’s goals to go to Botwana.
I completely agree! This show is such a pleasure to watch- I watched the 7 episodes countless times each and still enjoy them- I want more! Please bring it back for a second season!
I absolutley LOVE this show…I have read all the books and was a little worried that HBO would not do the books justice….boy did i have absolutley nothing to worry about…the series is FANTASTIC! I love Mma. Makutsi and Mma Ramotswe…I am a “proper traditional woman” and tease my fiance’ that if he don’t hurry up and make me LEGAL then i’m going to Botswana where a “proper traditional woman” can be worshiped and adored :)
I have been looking for a place to express my love for this show. It is the one HBO show that I have loved that I don’t have to wait to put my kids down to watch. It is refreshing and the frirst tv series of Africans in Africa. I have been telling everyone I meet about this show. I love Jill Scott!!!
PLEASE! Cannot live without this show. Come back please.
I agree with everyone about this show.I absolutely LOVE it! I just scoured HBO’s website with hopes of finding any info. on a season 2 premiere. No luck : ( however I did send them an e-mail about it….i guess I’ll have to keep my fingers crossed!
This is such a refreshing program to watch. It’s not weighed down by too much sex and violence. It’s a very wholesome show and I for one just LOVE IT. Please don’t keep us hanging; let there be a season 2.
I am truly a BIG fan of this program. I’ve purchased the DVD set of the first season, and I can’t stop watching it during my free time. I look forward to season #2. Yes, I said I look forward to watchinhg the new season…we have to believe in positive thinking which will bring results !
Really enjoyed the series and have spread the word to friends and relatives, received with much kudo’s. Keep the show alive, Please…
This is the most “Precious” show ever and would benefit all human kind to watch it. I pray that HBO will give us a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc., season. By the way, Precious’ Red Bush Tea is a tea I have been drinking for years! Please look it up as Red Rooibos. It is from the mountain peaks of South Africa and caffeine free. You can find it at Mountain Rose Herbs 1-800-879-3337 or http://www.mountainroseherbs.com. There teas are Certified Organic.
I couldn’t agree more! Please bring the show back for a second season… Why do networks always cancel shows people love? Freaks and Geeks, Family Guy, now this!? Come on, HBO!
I agree with everyone above. With the facebook fans heading to almost 12,500, begging for a second season, let’s hope that the producers will come up with an idea that agrees with them and Ms. Scott. She is wonderful and the show can be rewatched dozens of times without ever failing to be enjoyable. The fans have the books, but it would be ashame not to have Jill Scott give us her fine performance with more stories from the series. She is a wonderful performer to watch and listen to. Her smile brings the character to life.
This show has absolutely captured my heart. Seeing a show like this, with Africa as it’s backdrop, has given me a desire to see this part of the world.
What must we do to get the point over to HBO. This show must come back for several more seasons.
Please HBO-keep this show alive!
I loved the show! I lived in Africa growing up and if you want to know what Africa is like, this is Africa. The show captures the essense of the African culture and people. Bring the show back HBO! This show makes me a little less homesick.
Please bring this show back for as many seasons as there are books to the series. The books and the series are wonderful. I gave series one of the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency to my sisters for Christmas gifts and they loved it! My brother and his family watched and taped the series. Season 2, please!
My husband and I both enjoyed the 1st season and are looking forward to a 2nd season. This is a very good show for the whole family. We love this and want more.
Sooo, is it coming back or not? I just need to know so I can be either really happy if its coming back, or ready to ban HBO if if its not!! This is one of the best shows and I’m dying to see more…and dying to know its fate!
I gave series one of the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency to family and friends for Christmas and they loved it. They are hooked. I found out about the show from the ladies I work with. I really hope that there will be a Season 2.
I am so hanging out for Season 2. Please!! Please!! Please!! I have loved reading all the books and I’ve been loving the TV series which has only just arrived in Australia; it’s so true to the novels. Now I’ve purchased Season 1 on DVDs. I’ve also attended some exciting Book Readings with Alexander McCall Smith, both in Edinburgh and Sydney. Can’t get enough of Mma Ramotswe. Please let there be a season 2!!!!!
I LOVE THE SHOW TOO! IM JUST TWENTY AND I WONT WATCH ANYTHING ON TV BUT RE-RUNS OF THIS THAT I RECORDED. I WANT TO SEE SEASON 2 WHEN THE MECHANIC AND MMA RAMOTSWE GOT MARRIED ! I HATE TELEVISION, ITS JUST MONSTEROUS CRAP AND EVIL STUFF. I LOVE THIS , AND IF IM GOING TO WATCH TV, ITS GOING TO BE THIS. HBO TAKE SOME OF THE CRAP OFF AND PUT THIS BACK ON THE AIR! I KNOW JILL SCOTT WAS PREGNANT WHEN SHE AIRED THE FIRST SEASON. SHE MUST BE TAKING A LITTLE BREAK THEN COMING BACK TO AIR ANOTHER SERIES! SO THAT GIVES EVERYONE SOME HOPE:)
Love this show! Please bring it back for more seasons!
like to see more shows
i’d like to see more shows
This is a wonderful show, and the actors are the best! Please bring back another season. Does anyone know the name of the artist who does the drawings that open and close the show?
I have been waiting for months to find out if the detective and the mechanic will marry and if the maid’s ill will toward the detective caused her any harm. please bring the show back soon
Here it July 2010 & I am still holding my breath that they bring this show back. HBO why do you alway take the Good show off? please be kind & let us all know if you are going to bring this show back or not!!! Then maybe I can try to find another show that I like as much as this one.
I loved this show also .It is just a fantastic picture of how things can and do go wrong in all lives and how she helps people solve their problems. You simply must bring this back for a second season.
We sooooo enjoyed season 1 and want to see many more episodes of this fabulous show. The characters are just that – characters with lots of “color”, not their skin, but that’s beautiful too! Let me know when it’s scheduled:-)
Please do a second season!!!
My husband and I enjoyed the #1 ladies detective Agency so much when it was on. I have been listening to all of the audio books Alexander Mccall Smith has writen about the show. I would just love it if they continued where they left off and brought back all of the characters. Mma Ramoutswe has such a big heart and cares so much about Botswana that I have been entrigued to look them up on the map and learn more about the area. Please, please bring back the show!
