Fatal Seduction

It was really good. I can't wait for part two don't let the review discourage you watch it. I was at the edge of my seat. The acting, wardrobe, lighting was great as well. People need to give African movies a chance. Especially since we watch all these tired American movies all the time. It is a good movie with plot twist and turns. You get to see what African actors can do when they have a good budget. I don't know why someone gave it one star that is an over reach. It is a great series to watch on a Saturday night when you don't have anywhere to go. Give it a whirl with a glass of wine. Nice.

I enjoyed the Mexican show and this is literally a remake. Scenery of Cape Town is pretty nice and the cinematography looks good, but otherwise so unoriginal. I wonder why there are no references to the fact that it is a remake, they really should give credit to the Mexican show. I thought Maite Perroni did a better job as the lead character and I loved Alejandro Speitzer in the original. The South African version had some beautiful shooting locations and costumes were great. I think you should definitely check out the original show, Oscuro Deseo or Dark Desire, 2 seasons that you can find on Netflix.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I stumbled upon "Fatal Seduction," and it's safe to say that my skepticism was more than justified. This so-called TV show is nothing short of a complete train wreck. From the very first episode, it became apparent that "Fatal Seduction" is nothing more than an unimaginative, shameless copy of the Spanish series "Dark Desire," which wasn't even good to begin with. Why anyone thought it necessary to remake such a lackluster show is beyond me.

The lack of originality is mind-boggling. Every plot twist, every character arc, and every suspenseful moment are carbon copies of its supposed inspiration, "Dark Desire." I was hoping for something fresh and exciting, but instead, I was subjected to a monotonous and uninspired rehash of a show that didn't deserve a remake in the first place.

To make matters worse, "Fatal Seduction" manages to be even worse than "Dark Desire" itself. The writing is subpar, with dialogue so clichéd and lifeless that it's almost painful to endure. The attempts at suspense and drama fall flat, leaving the audience with a sense of déjà vu and disappointment.

The characters are mere cardboard cutouts, lacking depth or development. It's as if the writers didn't even bother to put in any effort to distinguish them from their Spanish counterparts. The cast's performances are equally unremarkable, failing to inject any semblance of life into their one-dimensional roles.

Moreover, the production quality is far from impressive. The cinematography feels cheap, and the overall direction lacks any artistic flair. It's apparent that this show was rushed into production without any thought or care for creating a compelling viewing experience.

In conclusion, "Fatal Seduction" is an unoriginal, poorly executed, and wholly unnecessary TV show. If you've seen "Dark Desire," you've already witnessed everything this copycat series has to offer. Save yourself the time and disappointment, and steer clear of this dreadful attempt at entertainment.

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!

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.
