Newly-wed Sintamei (Gathoni Mutua) is trying to start a family with her husband Kevin (Lucarelli Onyango) while also building her career as a corporate lawyer. Can she have it all?
Rebecca (Faith Kibathi) is the ideal wife most Kenyan men would like. The nurturer, housewife and loyal doormat. But it's getting hard to keep up appearances when her husband Eric (Michael Munyoki) is struggling to bring home the bacon.
And Mariah (Minne Kariuki) is all about life in the fastlane. She's constantly trying to bag a billionaire to fund her lavish lifestyle and has gained a massive following online by giving dating tips to young impressionable women.
When we catch up with them in the first episode of Single Kiasi, they seem to have their lives and their romantic relationships put together. But dating in Nairobi can be hectic, and it doesn't take long before the men of Single Kiasi prove the popular saying in the city's dating scene: "Men will embarrass you unprovoked".
If you loved Insecure and Sex and the City, you'll love a hybrid Kenyanized version of the two shows.
In the course of the 13 episodes, Single Kiasi follows Sintamei, Rebecca and Mariah as they go through the ups and downs of love and dating in Nairobi while also reminding us that, at the end of the day, friendship is the most powerful relationship they can have.
Single Kiasi is the second Showmax Original series in Kenya after the Kalasha-winning Crime and Justice.
