Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? Nika & Madison isn’t therefore about justice or revenge. It’s about understanding and love. How two cousins can be totally different and yet still relate to and appreciate both the good and bad that they’ve experienced. Rated: 7/10 Sep 13, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
