I still can’t wrap my head around it. I binged a three-episode Nigerian miniseries on Netflix and genuinely had a good time. As the credits rolled, my first thought wasn’t “We need more Nigerian miniseries.” It was “We need more creative, engaging storytelling, like this.”
That said, let’s be real: The Party is a knock-off, or to be politically correct, it’s clearly influenced by The Afterparty on Apple TV+, the one with Tiffany Haddish. Same setup: a murder mystery, contained suspects. But The Afterparty leaned into genre gimmicks. The Party doesn’t, and it’s shorter.
