Belleza salvaje

I enjoyed this action packed suspense series." Nollywood " (Nigerian Hollywood) has been around for years. Never a tedious moment. It's the 1 thing Netflix got right by adding the genre to its mundane carbon copy programming.

A big step up in terms of South African storytelling and production. Something different from the usual poverty, crime and HIV/AIDS and the way the vengeful storyline progresses is actually incredibly gripping and well captivated. Also excellent use of score, CMS and cinematography. Well done South Africa!

First of all, I would like to say that it is a very high quality production. The costumes and scenes were absolutely top quality. The character of Grace is definitely my favourite. The messages told in the series and the caste system are reflected very well. We realized once again how cunning and unethical the cosmetics industry is. The cruelty behind beauty is beautifully portrayed. Definitely watch it and let others watch it too.

A great guilty pleasure drama. It has all the necessary elements of lust, greed, intrigue, and revenge. It is refreshing to see a drama using African beauty standards as opposed to Western as the norm.

Starts strong with a conventional but intriguing world building: rich family, dirt behind the glamour, past tragedies, etc.

It kind of loses its sparkle in the last episodes, because there are too many twist and turns and the vast majority are way too gratuitous.

Characters go from smart and manipulative to dumb and out of control with seemingly no reason, the quality of the script in general is a bit discontinuous and so is the tonal shift.

I would still give a chance to another season tho, just too see if they find a convincing way to wrap up the many subplots. Great soundtrack th.

Mmmm.
