The Coconuts is a high concept sitcom hinging on a fantastical premise, but dealing with day-to-day South African characters, relationships, prejudices and stereotypes. It’s not preachy, nor does in have an overt “message”, nor does it rely on tired old stereotypes for cheap laughs, but it does hold up a non-politically correct mirror in which South Africans from all backgrounds will recognize themselves. It plays off in the suburban South African black/white paradigm.
