Fatal Seduction

Apart from being a copy of another show, this show is quite interesting; with a promising story line this show does keep you intrigued to the very end. The acting is not so good but the story is interesting. A good watch if you are bored and want to watch something suspenseful. This show has its good moments but at a certain point it seems getting a bit stretched to its climax. Ending episodes are slow and a bit boring where the end can easily be anticipated. Watch this show for its story and nothing else. Acting is not good but the story is interesting. Since it has only one season so it can be watched in just one day.

It is quite clear after having watched the first few episodes that there is a bright future for African productions. The creators, producers, and production designers have done an awesome job in showing us some of the most beautiful locations of South Africa. And this is how a country, or a region should be portrayed for the entire globe to see. What impressed me the most was the series' cinematography, which surprisingly is comparable to many successful Hollywood movies, and shows. The story is delicately brought out, the presentation creative, and the actor's performances, many of which showcase Africa's talent, will make the average viewers curious enough to discover what Africa has to bring to the table. As far as critics go, I believe they are being a bit tough on this. After all, Fatal Seduction is directly inspired by Dark Desire, a Mexican erotic thriller that has according to critics missed the mark for two consecutive seasons. If this South African production turned out to be a masterpiece, it would have been an astounding and outstanding project. So, watch this for what it truly is; that is, a ateamy series, a complete, comprehensive and beautifully told story, pure entertainment, the portrayal of black culture, and most importantly the revelation of what most love stories have gone and continues to go through since the beginning of time.

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.

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.

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.
