Sangue e Água

Finally an original African based high school drama series! I was pleasantly surprised by this and watched the whole thing all at once. I was impressed that we saw many aspects of South African culture in regards to the dialects, music, political affairs etc The series itself is easy to enjoy, there were definitely aspects where you're shouting at the TV but it's all in gest. Can't wait for season 2!

Not understanding why some gave it a very low rating other than they didn't bother watching the entire season. I actually enjoyed it. Great acting as well. Really hoping there will be a Season 2 sooner than later.

I mainlined this series because I simply had to know what was happening next. I'd have given it ten * if the ending had been more satisfactory.

It's compelling TV. The characters are believable and the cast really good. The writing is well-crafted and I was enthralled.

It has soap opera qualities, but at a high level. Sure, parts of it were a tad cliched, but the story and developing mystery make up for that.

I enjoyed it thoroughly, though I'd be lying if I said the ending was completely satisfactory. I look forward to a second season.

I feel this show was a little slow at first, but once you get into it, it was pretty addictive. I expected more from this show considering the director involved, but it still surpassed my expections. I do hope for a season 2 after that ending.

First season was a bit messy, but I feel like season 2 pulled everything together. The acting wasn't the best in the first season (not bad, but it could have been better), although I could see some great improvements in the seasons after that. I would have loved some more character development for a few characters, but what I loved most about this show was the pacing and the suspense. There was always something exciting and surprising around the corner. Most of the episodes ended on plot twists, leaving you wanting to see more. I also liked the fact that all of the seasons were quite strong, none of them empowering the other.
