Dam

Simply breathtaking. A much needed and groundbreaking series for South African Tv. I thought I was watching a high end American series. Dam could easily compete against shows like HBOs Sharp Objects.

With its camera work, cinematography, convincing acting and more, Dam's intriguing story kept me hooked from episode one ... so so excited by the direction SA cinema is moving in.

What an insanely refreshing physiological thriller/horror which is both tense and entertaining to watch! So up my alley when it comes to this genre. And to see stellar performances from great South African actors. All elements of filmmaking mesh so well together. Great design and cinematography that give such a stunning world that is so unique and believable. Season 2 please!

The first episodes were good but it seems the writers put themselves in a corner and couldn't live up to the hype they had built up It ends up being an underwhelming experience which lives you with more questions than answers.

The story itself is well written. I feel that the series has a lot more potential. It should have been filmed in Afrikaans. The farm scenes and culture would be much more eerie and true to the culture if the series was done in Afrikaans with an English dub as an option. We need to change the typical nature of Afrikaans series and I hoped this series would do that . Producing it in Adrikafrikaans would have set it apart from the typical netflix look. It is excellent otherwise and well shot for a South African production.
