What an insanely refreshing physiological thriller/horror which is both tense and entertaining to watch! So up my alley when it comes to this genre. And to see stellar performances from great South African actors. All elements of filmmaking mesh so well together. Great design and cinematography that give such a stunning world that is so unique and believable. Season 2 please!
The quality of our new south african stories keep on improving. This show was astonishing. It kept you intrigued from the get go until the last seconds of the show! The acting and setting were perfect. Really good execution and interesting take on the story.
Highly recommend to anyone!
I'm a South African and really wanted to like this local series... I couldn't... there were just so many mistakes in the storyline which culminated in the most absurd denouement I think I've ever seen. What a shame, what a waste of good talent in this country. Still waiting for a good series. This was a total shambles, but hey, some people loved it!
Not the biggest fan of South African movies or series. Only a handful of stories I that have interested me but I must say... for the type of shows I like this was an fantastic show. It had something of everything in it. Drama, romance suspense, some science fiction based on South African culture, you name it. I was intrigued from the second episode and could not stop watching since then. This was one of my binge waching series for the last couple of days! This had made me want to look at what others South African stories there might be that might jsut as good and intriguing. Well done to the director and cast.. this one I feel was definitely international worthy.
It's looks really great, there's a certain intensity in the beginning and it keeps you there for the most part. Eventually the pace starts to drag, the beautiful shots linger too long and it slips into melodrama instead of horror.
Hopefully a second season will evoke more action and less crying. More intensity and less feelings. I still recommend the binge watch.
