Savage Beauty

A fresh take on the politics of the fashion industry and how certain actors in it just fall in line for the sake of keeping up appreances. What you have in this show is a strong willed man prioritizing appearances while his family suffers and a vengeful woman blinded by revenge suffering the same fate. Looking forward to a second season where there is a greater character arc involved for some of the cast. Well designed sets and wardrobe.

I enjoyed this action packed suspense series." Nollywood " (Nigerian Hollywood) has been around for years. Never a tedious moment. It's the 1 thing Netflix got right by adding the genre to its mundane carbon copy programming.

A big step up in terms of South African storytelling and production. Something different from the usual poverty, crime and HIV/AIDS and the way the vengeful storyline progresses is actually incredibly gripping and well captivated. Also excellent use of score, CMS and cinematography. Well done South Africa!

So in 2022 there were major films Savage Beauty would be mutilated in comparison to thrill and suspense! However in 2024, a lot of the shows being released in now are flat and boring nothing exciting, low budget, terrible acting, with zero riveting corrupt family dynamics, and just have basic story lines. It was nice seeing fresh faces and explosive acting! PREDICTABLE ABSOLUTELY (in terms of whose the predator vs prey) but it has enough suspense in the character development to keep you engaged! Was devastated with the ending of Season 1 but Im a sucker for the downfall of elite families. A bit on the dramatic side and can have a few tones of soap opera but it does the job to keep you entertained. Disclaimer: watching this in 2024 vs 2022 MATTERS.

First of all, I would like to say that it is a very high quality production. The costumes and scenes were absolutely top quality. The character of Grace is definitely my favourite. The messages told in the series and the caste system are reflected very well. We realized once again how cunning and unethical the cosmetics industry is. The cruelty behind beauty is beautifully portrayed. Definitely watch it and let others watch it too.
