Queen Sono (serial)

A South African series, our protagonist is Queen, daughter of beloved revolutionary and martyr Safiya Sono. Queen witnessed as a child her mothers murder and has carried the anger of that for her entire life. She is now one of the top operators in the South African police black ops unit and her team is charged with protecting the democracy of South Africa and weeding out corruption in the government. Queen is James Bond/Jason Bourne skill level and takes her investigation all across the southern part of the continent following revolutionaries and terrorists. Meanwhile, she continues to struggle with her life outside of work, still squashed by PTSD from her mothers assassination 20 years ago. I loved this series, and Queen (Pearl Thusi) is seriously badass.
