Iwájú • Miniseries Ratings & Reviews
Loud and Clear Reviews
Clotilde Chinnici
Another key theme to Afrofuturism that we can see present in the show is that of liberation as it allows the imagination of a future that is free of hierarchies of race, gender, class, and sexuality.

Aprillé Morris
Iwájú is a Yoruba word that can be translated to "future" and this bright, little show might just be the future of the miniseries concept. It's one of the greatest examples of the modern miniseries (alternatively limited series) I've seen recently.
Screen Rant
Nick Bythrow
Iwájú tells a predictable story on the surface, but its themes of class and charming characters make this series set in futuristic Nigeria stand out.
Common Sense Media
Ashley Moulton
It's hard to think of an American-produced kids' series that places such a magnifying glass on our own racial and class realities. Iwájú has many sparks of good ideas, but falls a bit flat in execution.
CBR
Sayantan Gayen
Set in a futuristic Lagos, Iwájú celebrates the vibrant culture of Nigeria through its little characters while showing the dark side of reality.
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Charles Mudede
Iwájú's science fiction is not only realistic but closer to cyberpunk than Afrofuturism.
RIOTUS
Julian Lytle
The attempt to bring in new voices from other places worldwide is worth celebrating, especially as it met the call with good work and execution.
Decider
Joel Keller
Iwájú is a visually fascinating look at a futuristic Nigerian city, with lots of clever character moments and an Afrobeat soundtrack that ties it all together.
Mama's Geeky
Tessa Smith
Tackles some very serious, heavy, and dark subject matter (kidnappings) but it's all handled very well. Would love to see more of this beautiful, dazzling world and the characters that live in it. Could have easily (perhaps should've been) a movie.
EverythingButHorror.com
Peter Martin
Things happen and words are spoken that I didn't fully understand, yet that is merely one of the joys of the series, which consistently dazzles, as much due to the wonder of its futuristic thinking as the enduring humanity it freely manifests.
Raising Whasians
Christie Cronan
Playing out like a page-turner of a gripping graphic novel - introduces a new world of imagination outside of the cultural norm.
