Enterprice on BBC has returned for a second season and this time it’s bigger and better! It’s so great to see representation for artforms representing communities often misrepresented and mixing it with light-hearted humour, as well as a special drive to build a business.
About The Show Enterprice
Written by and starring Kayode Ewumi, Enterprice is a BBC sitcom on iPlayer based in London. It tells the story of two friends and co-founders of an errands service company, called Enterprice. The programme shows how friends, Kazim, played by Kayode Ewumi and Jeremiah, played by Trieve Blackwood-Cambridge, hustle to build their business in the capital as young entrepreneurs.
Enterprice Season 2
The authenticity of Enterprice is evident through the black scriptwriter (Kayode) and black actors in the show. This brings so much more authenticity to the storyline and you can tell those involved are experienced with the culture themself. Simi, brilliantly played by actress Fatou Sohna, is a great addition to season 2. The quick wit and banter between her, Kazim, and Jeremiah flow naturally and instantly engage the audience. The introduction of Simi seems like a natural fit into the storyline. And the mixed adventures throughout the series won’t fail to surprise you.
My Personal Take On Enterprice
As a fan of season 1, back in 2018, I was so pleased to hear it was returning! I binge-watched the full 6 episodes on its released, on International Women’s Day.
As this blog widely embraces creativity and the self-employed lifestyle, it’s no surprise that I love what Enterprice is about. It reflects the passionate pursuit of young black people to achieve their career goals. Particularly as a black Londoner myself, the cultural references and inclusion of Jamaican and African culture are relateable.
Mother tongue dialects also feature in the show. This is fantastic to see on a platform like the BBC. Seeing diverse storylines written and played out by black people is refreshing to watch. It signals to bigger platforms that it’s absolutely possible to push various narratives from those in the black community. It doesn’t have to consistently be the same narrow narrative pushed to the forefront.
Both seasons of Enterprice are a good watch for almost anyone really. You can watch with your family, friends or even yourself. But I particularly would recommend it to young budding entrepreneurs. Kazim and Jeremiah’s fun youthful personalities play a part in their pursuit to chase their dreams. Although the show leads in comedy, there is an apparent presence of Kazim and Jeremiah building their business.
