Young, Famous & African

Too much superficial anecdotes and surprisingly not enough raw content. All the characters flash bling that is not theirs and pretend to have it all when in fact they aint got s#!t.

The portrayals of these characters lacked one fundamental aspect to making this show work, that is real GO GETTERS in the likes of South Africa's own rapper and glitz man CASPPER NYOVEST. Had he been cast the show would have had depth and the content would make the FAMOUS part of the title be an equal measure of PROSPERITY. This show doesn't even give the audiences a glimpse of what all these people's claim to fame. Sorry but poor content.

It's like an accident that you cannot help but look at. These people are all very beautiful but the in-fighting kills me. How do you treat friends this way?

The most cringe worthy was how it was stated in the first episode that they are rich and how they want to show the world that they are not part of third world countries 😲

I hope they all donate to worthy causes in Africa.

They are all beautiful, and its good to see successful black women and men on the screen. However, the attitude of every one but zari, is just sour and petty. They are all so hypocritical and just nah. I would have enjoyed this show if they weren't to make the good hearted one out to be the enemy.

I was so excited for this show. I thought I was going to see some lavish parties with a little drama. But all they showed was the guys talking about how much they cheat on their girlfriends and wives and have a ton of babies with other women. They all had the same story. So boring.

One of the silliest shows I've seen in awhile. However, I don't feel like it's trying to hide how ridiculous it is, which means that it's fun. It's incredibly chaotic and I cannot keep track of what's going on (perhaps I'd struggle less if I knew the South African context better). There could have been a clearer narrative for dumb Westerners like me who have no idea who any of these people are. And there's some gross sexism displayed by male cast members that it would have been nice to unpack a bit more. But overall, am I entertained? YES. And the cliffhanger at the end of S1 is unreal. I need to know what happens next, please and thank you!
