Fatal Seduction

If you're a fan of erotic stories my best advise is a go watch DARK DESIRE. WHY? Because this story is a South African rip off from the Spanish series. Basically speaking the creative department and the Head writers were so lazy that they copied each scene and even the character names from the Spanish series.

The actors are nice. However the story is not authentic from South Africa.

Having watched other series from Mzansi I can tell you this is totally shameless and lazy copying of OSCURO DESEO (dark desire).

If you don't want rip off TV shows stay away from this show. The show has not even gone deep to research on real issues.

I give it 1 out of 10 because there's no 0 otherwise I'd have given it quickly without thinking twice.

DO NOT WATCH IT. I RECOMMEND BLOOD AND WATER another well researched show from the same country.

Dark Desire (TV series) the year 2000 is a Mexican thriller drama, Alma (Maite Perroni) is a law school professor. She is married to Leonardo (Jorge Poza), a judge who has kept much from her. They are parents of Zoe (Regina Pavón). In this context, Darío (Alejandro Speitzer) and Esteban (Erik Hayser), a police officer, also come into play.

Good actor and actress Fatal Seduction is a South African drama television series is great. Professor Nandi Mahlati is no longer comfortable in her marriage to respected judge Leonard Mahlati, who blames her for her child's miscarriage. Also, she thinks Leonard is cheating on her with his assistant Ameera. Together with her friend Brenda Grootboom, Nandi takes a weekend trip away from home. There the women meet the young Jacob Tau, who is spending the night with Nandi. It is a unique experience for her, she returns to her husband and daughter Zinhle. A little later, Jacob shows up at a university lecture given by Nandi. She tries to suppress her feelings and passion, but begins a secret and passionate affair with Jacob. Over time, Nandi realizes that her husband is not having an affair, but is just making preparations for the wedding day. She ends the affair with Jacob. However, he reacts aggressively and turns up at her family's house to apply for an internship with Leonard.

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.

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.

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.
