Fatal Seduction

I enjoyed the Mexican show and this is literally a remake. Scenery of Cape Town is pretty nice and the cinematography looks good, but otherwise so unoriginal. I wonder why there are no references to the fact that it is a remake, they really should give credit to the Mexican show. I thought Maite Perroni did a better job as the lead character and I loved Alejandro Speitzer in the original. The South African version had some beautiful shooting locations and costumes were great. I think you should definitely check out the original show, Oscuro Deseo or Dark Desire, 2 seasons that you can find on Netflix.

It was really good. I can't wait for part two don't let the review discourage you watch it. I was at the edge of my seat. The acting, wardrobe, lighting was great as well. People need to give African movies a chance. Especially since we watch all these tired American movies all the time. It is a good movie with plot twist and turns. You get to see what African actors can do when they have a good budget. I don't know why someone gave it one star that is an over reach. It is a great series to watch on a Saturday night when you don't have anywhere to go. Give it a whirl with a glass of wine. Nice.

Apart from being a copy of another show, this show is quite interesting; with a promising story line this show does keep you intrigued to the very end. The acting is not so good but the story is interesting. A good watch if you are bored and want to watch something suspenseful. This show has its good moments but at a certain point it seems getting a bit stretched to its climax. Ending episodes are slow and a bit boring where the end can easily be anticipated. Watch this show for its story and nothing else. Acting is not good but the story is interesting. Since it has only one season so it can be watched in just one day.

If you're a fan of erotic stories my best advise is a go watch DARK DESIRE. WHY? Because this story is a South African rip off from the Spanish series. Basically speaking the creative department and the Head writers were so lazy that they copied each scene and even the character names from the Spanish series.

The actors are nice. However the story is not authentic from South Africa.

Having watched other series from Mzansi I can tell you this is totally shameless and lazy copying of OSCURO DESEO (dark desire).

If you don't want rip off TV shows stay away from this show. The show has not even gone deep to research on real issues.

I give it 1 out of 10 because there's no 0 otherwise I'd have given it quickly without thinking twice.

DO NOT WATCH IT. I RECOMMEND BLOOD AND WATER another well researched show from the same country.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I stumbled upon "Fatal Seduction," and it's safe to say that my skepticism was more than justified. This so-called TV show is nothing short of a complete train wreck. From the very first episode, it became apparent that "Fatal Seduction" is nothing more than an unimaginative, shameless copy of the Spanish series "Dark Desire," which wasn't even good to begin with. Why anyone thought it necessary to remake such a lackluster show is beyond me.

The lack of originality is mind-boggling. Every plot twist, every character arc, and every suspenseful moment are carbon copies of its supposed inspiration, "Dark Desire." I was hoping for something fresh and exciting, but instead, I was subjected to a monotonous and uninspired rehash of a show that didn't deserve a remake in the first place.

To make matters worse, "Fatal Seduction" manages to be even worse than "Dark Desire" itself. The writing is subpar, with dialogue so clichéd and lifeless that it's almost painful to endure. The attempts at suspense and drama fall flat, leaving the audience with a sense of déjà vu and disappointment.

The characters are mere cardboard cutouts, lacking depth or development. It's as if the writers didn't even bother to put in any effort to distinguish them from their Spanish counterparts. The cast's performances are equally unremarkable, failing to inject any semblance of life into their one-dimensional roles.

Moreover, the production quality is far from impressive. The cinematography feels cheap, and the overall direction lacks any artistic flair. It's apparent that this show was rushed into production without any thought or care for creating a compelling viewing experience.

In conclusion, "Fatal Seduction" is an unoriginal, poorly executed, and wholly unnecessary TV show. If you've seen "Dark Desire," you've already witnessed everything this copycat series has to offer. Save yourself the time and disappointment, and steer clear of this dreadful attempt at entertainment.
