Delicious
—Kudos to the makeup team for transforming the main characters notably Abiodun (Jide Oyegbile) and his mom (Tunbosun Aiyedehin); they looked so miserable and tormented by their poor condition and community
—Black Monday was a remarkable story that centered on the plight of former convicts; we got to walk in Abiodun’s shoes understanding what it’s like to carry the label of a criminal among people who are merciless.
One heartbreaking moment was when Abiodun, fed up with his situation, shouted in anguish “I am scared…I need help, I need someone to help me!” But there was no one to help him…Oh my goodness, we melted right there…
—Abiodun’s sister, his mom, and the neighbors rendered such an authentic performance. Abiodun’s sister was so irritating yet relatable as she was so quick to condemn without lending an ear
—Thank you Lawrence Adejumo for giving us good close-up and low-angle shots that sizzled this emotional narrative

Bland
—Audio quality was a bit of an issue, there were times we could barely hear voices
—Jide Oyegbile could have had more passion in his eyes and body language for a person battling depression
