The Brave Ones

I loved it . I think people are used to billion dollar cgi n Avengers stuff . The story led that suspense they did not give away too much . I say give its course . How many shows started n we kinda said eh but kept watching Zombies lol. I believe the team of writers and actors wil definately grow more . Develop more . I have seen shows that people praise and cant sit 15 minutes . I know there is alot the writers and producers and actors have not even hit yet . I have never seen any Shows or Movies that have tapped into African Mytholgy . I am a Santero that derives from the Yoruba so this made me even more excited . Great job !

I just finished watching Season 1 and I've never seen anything like this ! Yes to Afro futurism and yes to keeping me locked in the whole time! Netflix, you cannot keep us eating for long! We need to see this next season ! I thought the story really kept me in the plot. I watched from Japan with my partner and we couldn't stop. We need more of this type of representation in the fantasy world of movie making ! Ntsiki was a very strong actress. As a matter of fact the whole cast really did an exceptional job. Johannesburg looked beautiful and it depicted Africa in a very futuristic perspective. I loved that!

It's great to see a fantasy that draws on people and culture from South Africa instead of DC, Marvel, Star Wars, or video game. It's not that there's anything wrong with those, it's just that the formulas and over-the-top effects are don't improve the final product. I enjoyed watching the Brave Ones during the course of some days rather than just binging it.

I wish the episodes had been longer than the 35 minutes or so which were allotted so that the characters could develop a little more depth. Solid acting with credible emotional content. Although not totally original, the mythological backdrop was a pleasant change from the more classical mythology I studied in school and which keeps the formula fantasy blockbusters in production.

I hope the show is picked up for a second season, and not just to resolve the surprise ending.

Nice action, nice storyboarding to me.. and it's refreshing, not the typical fantasy stories you're use to.. the actors are really good. & the visual power effects are dope.

The first episode actually caught me by surprised.. and although it may seem slow paced at times, it adds to the world building because you may have never heard of this pantheon of gods.. It's very cultural, it's nice to see an African fantasy tv show with good actors. Overall I loved it.

One thing I didn't like about it is that it only has 6 episodes, before you know it the show is over but it was very good to me.. I look forward to seeing a season 2.

I loved it, it's definitely different. I can't wait for Season 2. The African Spirituality twist made the Series even more interesting. Ayanda went to a Sangoma to save her dying child at all costs, and she's told that for that to happen, The Brave One, needs to be reborn but in order for that to happen someone needs to die. Ntsiki's character is very interesting, the actress played thr tole very well.

The Series is one of the first South African Sci-Fi series, alongside The Blood Psalms on Showmax. September is a good month for the South African film industry.

I love it so much, I'm going to rewatch it.
