Unseen

Wow this tv series was awesome. The actors where so real. I never once felt any fake acting.. This gripped me from episode one. The actors where superb. This made me so proud to be a south african and the quality of the show was really good. It might be a remake but done south african style it was excellent. The talent we have here is mind blowing. We'll done to all of you. I will be on the look out for the next season. It showed how we live in south africa and the trials lived by many of the unseen people. I would definitely recommend watching the series. Well worth the time spent. I for sure am fling to be on the look out for south african shows.

Pleasantly surprised! This had solid writing, acting, plot and pacing. Good character development and timeline sequencing.

The latter half of the season is more edge-of-the-seat than most mystery/crime thrillers. In the last episode I learned to trust the incredible luck of the main character against insurmountable odds. The woman is unkillable! She had some very unlikely saves - BUT I appreciate her for the stoic superhero she turned out to be.

Well worth watching for the understated, strong female lead. Nice to see a film from South Africa as well.

Fingers crossed there will be more to watch in 2024!

Okay, so I have gone through some of the reviews and some of ya'll that have been giving it a rating below 5 needs to have your head read!!!

Before I started watching it, I had no idea this was a South African documented series, until I realized it was. I was blown away! From the actors, to the plot twist, to the videography, EVERYTHING was top tier.

The only thing I disliked was the fact that the main guys all died in first few episodes, I was expecting more because if you watched generations like me back in the day, you would know that people like Tau and Kumkani were THEE legends. But let me not spoil!!

Great story telling. Straightforward.

Some interesting twists.

Good to see a show from countries other than the US, giving the audience new perspectives.

Yes the acting is not that great but it doesn't undermine the show. At least, the acting is not pretentious or too much.

Good pace, not dragging.

Only a few flashbacks. (too many tend to break the story or overshoot the theme) No strange transition between episodes.

The main actress portrays the character deep and well.

TBH before watching the show I did not expect too much mostly due to the rating but 2 episodes in, I just kept watching.

I wanted to give the show a 6.5 because it is definitely more than 6, or even a 7.

This is one of them shows that start promising and end up in tatters. The first couple of episodes were keeping the viewer "edge if the sit", however the bad acting, coupled with ridiculous situations and bloopers made the show a terrible one. There were so many times when one asks himself "why?" that by the end it just ended up a real disappointment. I kinda missed the speed increase option on my TV to enable a faster viewing as the pace was so agonisingly slow at times.

Seems like nowadays more and more series are following in the same footsteps. Why services are choosing more and more quantity over quality?
