The Brave Ones

I loved it, it's definitely different. I can't wait for Season 2. The African Spirituality twist made the Series even more interesting. Ayanda went to a Sangoma to save her dying child at all costs, and she's told that for that to happen, The Brave One, needs to be reborn but in order for that to happen someone needs to die. Ntsiki's character is very interesting, the actress played thr tole very well.

The Series is one of the first South African Sci-Fi series, alongside The Blood Psalms on Showmax. September is a good month for the South African film industry.

I love it so much, I'm going to rewatch it.

While it's true some of the transitions had to take place in my head (I know how to extrapolate) they actually caused me to be more invested in the story. I won't nitpick it to death over nonessentials I'll just say "where's season 2??". I'm going to be very angry with Netflix if this turns out to be another great series that they inexplicably drop in the middle. I thought Netflix had rethought their whimsical ADD attitude when deciding whether or not to continue series that everybody loves.

This series is another great cultural film that gives us glimpses into the life of people not us. I ♥♥

I just finished watching Season 1 and I've never seen anything like this ! Yes to Afro futurism and yes to keeping me locked in the whole time! Netflix, you cannot keep us eating for long! We need to see this next season ! I thought the story really kept me in the plot. I watched from Japan with my partner and we couldn't stop. We need more of this type of representation in the fantasy world of movie making ! Ntsiki was a very strong actress. As a matter of fact the whole cast really did an exceptional job. Johannesburg looked beautiful and it depicted Africa in a very futuristic perspective. I loved that!

Nothing short of amazing .. it can only get better if new seasons are allowed.. I think, let the Powers that be allow season 2 and take it from there.. Nothing has been done in SA storytelling in that level so far. I feel critics should be less harsh on the first season and allow the maturity of both crew and production. As it develops, it can only get better as it polishes itself with the experience that all involved acquire, as they work on each successive season.

I also appreciate the fact that not too many usual faces were used. We can only on earth greater talent with that mindset and approach.

Nice action, nice storyboarding to me.. and it's refreshing, not the typical fantasy stories you're use to.. the actors are really good. & the visual power effects are dope.

The first episode actually caught me by surprised.. and although it may seem slow paced at times, it adds to the world building because you may have never heard of this pantheon of gods.. It's very cultural, it's nice to see an African fantasy tv show with good actors. Overall I loved it.

One thing I didn't like about it is that it only has 6 episodes, before you know it the show is over but it was very good to me.. I look forward to seeing a season 2.
