Reyka

I just finished watching this show tonight, and first off I want to note that I LOVED the soundtrack. I need to find out what tracks are on the soundtrack but can't seem to find any info about it anywhere. Hopefully I'll figure it out eventually!

Secondly, the show itself was mesmerising - with an intriguing, harrowing series of storylines running parallel to each other. The landscapes of South Africa (a place I haven't visited yet) were stunning, but the main setting for the drama (the cane fields) was haunting, mysterious, and hid plenty of dark secrets.

The story of Reyka and Angus was a perfect example of that of a master manipulator attempting to pull his victim back into his web, even though years have passed since they last saw each other. He was trying until the very end, but him involving her daughter in the whole mess didn't go the way he'd thought it would.

I felt that all the actors did amazing jobs, the cinematography was breathtaking, each episode ended with a cliffhanger that kept me eager to watch more, and as I mentioned, the soundtrack was perfect. I'm still left with some questions, but that could be because I missed obvious things that would have given me answers. For instance, was the Lucy we met in the flesh actually Lucy, or was she a faux Lucy? How was Angus planning to take Reyka along for the ride?

If you are a fan of creepy murder mysteries/other mysteries, then I recommend this show for sure.

This was an interesting and entertaining show but judge for yourself. Don't let a trolls negativity stop or rob you of determining for yourself what's is good or not. Just remember there's always someone whose negativity for shows other people like ( and they probably never watched) is doing it for a very specific reason.

Be prepared to pay attention and stay focused. Then buckle up and keep up!

Extensive use of flashbacks and multiple scenes with no dialogue contribute to the ongoing development of the primary characters.

Uneven story, that tries to hard and fails. Many aspects of the story do not make sense, which makes the series unbelievable. It could have been much better if the writing where better.

I liked this show a lot. I'm surprised by the poor reviews. It was interesting right from the first episode. Keeps you guessing and it is not "cheesy" at all. Very good acting. Also, I love the South African accent so that's a bonus to hear! You won't be disappointed.
