Mzansi Magic's brand new comedy series Lenyalo Ha Se Papadi has been receiving glowing reviews from viewers. Diep City creator Mandla N has been lauded the best at what he does.

The comedy is doing better than the show that started this month even though it seems as though it is not a hit on the social media streets.

BLACK BRAIN PICTURES AND LENYALO HA SE PAPADI One has got to admit that Black Brain Pictures came through for viewers especially with the end of their fan-favourite drama series Diep City. Episode one started with Mpho (Mapaseka Koetle) and Desmond (Meshack Mavuso Magabane ) as a happy couple, ready to tackle evey problem they encounter, after all they ave been together for 15 years. Mpho was excited to finally leave her job to focus on her longtime dream of opening a bakery.
--
After promising that he was finally going to secure the space for her, Desmond plans a surprise birthday party for his wife but when Mpho finds out that he did not pay the deposit for her bakery, all hell breaks loose.
Desmond took the deposit money and yet again prioritised his brother's needs over theirs.

Not realising that her house has her close friends ready to surprise her, Mpho goes off on Desmond and blurts out that she wants a divorce, much to the surprise of everyone.
On Episode two though, Mpho was tricked into playing pretend in front of her in-laws because her scheming husband did not want to tell his family that he was just asked for a divorce.
Mpho pretends to be the happy wife, serves Desmond, serves his family, the whole thing. The family is there to celebrate their anniversary and they have nothing but great things to say about their crumbling marriage.

MPHO TAKING HIM BACK? Viewers could argue that Mpho seems very broken and disasapointed at her husband so she may not take him back but also, it seems she is willing to give him just a couple of years, yet again.
The show seems to be hit and viewers are excited. It has not received any bad reveiws as yet. Everything is delivered with a ton of humour that one cant help but laugh at their quirky jokes and delivery.
Catch Episode four of Lenyalo Ha Se Papadi every Mondays at 20:00 on Mzansi Magic, DSTV channel 161.
