Kenyans Are Fighting Over 'The Polygamist' : A Fierce Debate

Netflix's The Polygamist is the most talked-about show in Africa right now — No.1 in Kenya, matatus in Nairobi carrying Jonasi Gomora's face, and a county official demanding it be banned. But what exactly are we arguing about? In this roundtable, Oduor Jagero sits down with film reviewer Sagini and storyteller Kevin to unpack the phenomenon: Is Jonasi a polygamist or just a serial cheat hiding behind culture? Why did Joyce's revenge grip the whole continent? What does the show say about money, class, and the African marriage — and why are Kenyans demanding a local version? From Sue Nyathi's self-published novel to a global Netflix hit in 63 countries, we go deep on the show everyone is watching and nobody agrees on. Spoilers throughout.
