It is quite clear after having watched the first few episodes that there is a bright future for African productions. The creators, producers, and production designers have done an awesome job in showing us some of the most beautiful locations of South Africa. And this is how a country, or a region should be portrayed for the entire globe to see. What impressed me the most was the series' cinematography, which surprisingly is comparable to many successful Hollywood movies, and shows. The story is delicately brought out, the presentation creative, and the actor's performances, many of which showcase Africa's talent, will make the average viewers curious enough to discover what Africa has to bring to the table. As far as critics go, I believe they are being a bit tough on this. After all, Fatal Seduction is directly inspired by Dark Desire, a Mexican erotic thriller that has according to critics missed the mark for two consecutive seasons. If this South African production turned out to be a masterpiece, it would have been an astounding and outstanding project. So, watch this for what it truly is; that is, a ateamy series, a complete, comprehensive and beautifully told story, pure entertainment, the portrayal of black culture, and most importantly the revelation of what most love stories have gone and continues to go through since the beginning of time.
All I can say is watch this show for yourself. Ignore all of the bad reviews who basically are upset because they think it's a remake of the Spanish show. You definitely have to watch every episode and do not blink because every part is important. A lot will not make sense until the show is over but it will keep you on your toes the entire time. The production, sound effects and music is perfect for this series. The actors may not have been the greatest but they all did a very good job selling their roles. Many of the reviews was given before watching the entire series. It starts out with Many may not wanting to get into it but after the first 2 episodes all gets interesting.
This series won't win any prizes apart from maybe for the juicy love scenes. And there are lots of those. The acting is hammy, the pace slow and the plot & twists are not amazing. You could probably skip the first episode and still know exactly what is going on, it's that straight forward. But I did enjoy it as a sort of guilty pleasure and binged it in an evening. There are some amazing scenes of Cape Town and I liked the short episodes, and watching stunning looking characters make a soap-opera type mess of their lives. The end of season cliffhanger is not bad. Will it bring me back for more? Probably!
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.
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.
