Black & Blue S1

Flag keMade in Kenya

Black & Blue, a Showmax Original police-based mockumentary series, now streaming, with new episode every Wednesday.

In this Kenyan mockumentary series, now streaming on Showmax, the Kenyan Police enlists a civilian as an Officer Commanding Station (OCS) in a bold attempt to rebrand themselves and better appeal to the public. This new OCS brings a unique civilian perspective to policing, turning things upside down at the experimental pilot station. A documentary team is hired to follow them and document the process, but inadvertently reveals the shenanigans the police get up to behind the scenes as they grapple with adjusting to the new reforms.

Kalasha winner Gitura Kamau (Lusala) stars as the charismatic OCS. The talented ensemble cast includes Lydia Gitachu (Kina), Kalasha winner Annstella Karimi (Baba Twins, Sue na Jonnie), Collins Koyo (Asha), Hillary Wamiti (Sense8), Andrew Ng’ang’a (Escape from Mogadishu), Dennis Mutisya (Varshita, Shanga), Mwajuma Belle (Poacher, The Call), and Lawrence Kimani (Varshita, Njoro wa Uba).

Produced by Yare Picture Studio, Black & Blue is helmed by Abdi Shuria and King ‘Mushking’ Muriuki (who both also directed the Showmax Original titles Igiza and Faithless).
