Seed of Shame’ is a family drama, which centers on the act of deception and its effect on the home and the society at large.
Basically, this TV series concentrates on Bamidele’s Family, which has Omolade’s family as its extension. In the course of the story, some deal breakers that gave rise to distrust and deception in the respective homes came up.
Deception, which is a major issue in most homes is clearly interpreted in the story through the attitude of the Bamideles’ domestic staff (Romoke) who was having a secret affair with the head of the home. More deceptive attitudes unfold as Chinedu (the gatekeeper) assumes the position of an economic adviser, while kasali (the driver) converts his boss’ car to a commercial one just for personal gain.
However, the three characters were able to bring some kind of comic relief to the story, thereby relieving tension.
‘Seed of Shame’ is a must watch for every home as it exhibits and corrects the negativity in the home that eventually adds up to the ills of the corrupt society we live in. ‘Seed of Shame’ states that nothing will forever be hidden; there will always be a reward for every shameful act.
