Fatal Seduction

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!

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.

Dark Desire (TV series) the year 2000 is a Mexican thriller drama, Alma (Maite Perroni) is a law school professor. She is married to Leonardo (Jorge Poza), a judge who has kept much from her. They are parents of Zoe (Regina Pavón). In this context, Darío (Alejandro Speitzer) and Esteban (Erik Hayser), a police officer, also come into play.

Good actor and actress Fatal Seduction is a South African drama television series is great.

Over time, Nandi realizes that her husband is not having an affair, but is just making preparations for the wedding day. She ends the affair with Jacob. However, he reacts aggressively and turns up at her family's house to apply for an internship with Leonard.

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.

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.
