The tales a well told, but it’s like they are being said at 1.25 speed. The only part of the show that goes at pace with such stories is the into by Anansi. After that, we’re off to the races, and the Hare beats the Tortise. There is little tome for the significance to sink in. If these tales were told at a slower pace, as they were intended, then the tales would be savored and the lessons would hit home.
