Netflix’s ‘Fatal Seduction’ charts a captivating story full of risque relationships and menacing mysteries. The South African show revolves around Nandi Mahlati, a woman who finds herself torn between a loveless marriage and a stirring affair with a younger man. However, the real trouble arises when she discovers her lover, Jacob, has ulterior motives in seducing her, namely an 11-year-old case involving the murder of a child. Consequently, slowly but surely the woman’s life spirals out of control unti she eventually finds herself framed for the attempted murder of her husband, Leonard.

Yet, Nandi’s life only gets more entrenched in danger in season 2, when she finds herself going up against the Minister of Police in order to keep her daughter, Zinhle, safe. Unlike season 1, the second season arrives at a conclusive ending, resolving the messy threads of the conspiracy setup behind the Jiba case. Still, the show...

The title of the show pretty much sums up what this Netflix South African series is about. A remake of the Mexican show Dark Desire, the second season picks up right where Fatal Seduction season one left off. After the protagonist ended up behind bars for a crime she hadn’t committed at the end of the first season, it was evident that a second season was on the way. Nandi had to prove her innocence and seek revenge on all those who’d failed her. Also, the mystery behind the murder of the minister’s daughter hadn’t yet been solved, so it was pretty much established that the show would return with answers. And Fatal Seduction season 2 doesn’t disappoint, at least when it comes to clearing all the doubts and questions that the audience might’ve had in mind after the first installment.

Fatal Seduction is neither...
