After 4 years, following the release of the first season of Blood Sister in 2022, they finally released the second season in 2026. It was pretty interesting with an extension into the life of the two friends turned sisters, Sarah and Kemi. Season 2 focuses on their life in jail following the crime they committed in the first season and the false accusation they have to fight in court from the hands of the Ademolas family. They do not have to face only the consequences of their crime, but they have to struggle with their newfound life in jail with other inmates.
I have to say, if you are probably new to blood sisters, you would get to enjoy it more when you watch both seasons at a stretch, and you do not have to worry much about wondering what happened and who is who? For example, I totally forgot Daniel Effiong was in the first season when I watched the second season. Also, the relevance of some characters in the season left me with some unanswered questions. Was the lawyer also in the first season, or did she come in the second season? I think the lack of a quick recap before the start of season 2 would have been really helpful. Something like what was done with the fourth season of The Witcher when they brought in a new Geralt. Aside from this, the movie was on fire.
I got hooked on the second season right from the first episode because the movie's direction to explore and depict the inner workings of the Nigerian prison. Also, I have to add that they did not hold back in this aspect. They did so much to depict the prison system while doing their best not to invite trouble in their direction. The biggest shock for me was the portrayal of the bathing conditions for the women since it was a women's prison. Nothing will prepare you for what you will see or what will happen next. A good addition to the cast was Blessing and Warripikin because they killed the role they were given. Playing the gang leader in the prison brought a new kind of story to the movie, which made it more interesting and, at the same time, funny to watch. Nobody had an idea these actors were going to be so evil to Sarah and Kemi, the lead characters, hence the blood sisters. Imagine fighting for your life in prison and fighting for your innocence in court. That was the case for Kemi and Sarah.
Acting from Gabriel Afolayan, Kehinde Bankole, and Kate Henshaw gave me a spark, reminding me that the Ademolas are still a dysfunctional family with so many issues to resolve, but at this point in time, it is too late for them. Kate Henshaw remained the matriarch of the Ademola household, calling the shots and making her children's lives a living hell, while keeping Daniel Effiong as her boy toy. With this, you should get a glimpse of how messed up it was for such a family. Lastly, Uche Jumbo gave us a premium acting of what it means to be a mother, with how she went above and beyond for her daughter in this season. Coming from a place of negligence to the issue at hand in the first season, when her daughter complained to her about the kind of family she had gotten into, she became determined to protect her at all costs and make up for her past mistakes. It was a season packed with drama until I did not know it was over.
