    Refreshing break from what were accustomed to from Hollywood

    Really enjoyed it. The twist in the end ties in really well with the first episode, although was expecting the ending to answer a few questions since the story was steering us in a certain direction; Will's inspiration for a new book. Overall I loved the actors. This is the second horror series I've watched from SA (first being DAM) and I love that the stories are grounded with an African perspective.

    Didn't expect that.

    A very enjoyable film. I started watching having no expectations as i have never heard of it before. Found it randomly on Netflix and i gave it a shot. Well, it was worth it. Very nice plot, good cinematography/ photography. The story is well told. The characters have a certain depth. Acting wasn't good at first but after the second episode gets better. I would love to watch another season of this.

    FUN NEW SERIES

    Enjoyable new series. Different setting is fun and entertaining. I like the main characters and find their interactions amusing. The ghost stories are nothing particularly new and the effects are ok - it's just a fun new show. I'm hoping for a 2nd season!

    Refreshing

    I love ghost stories, so had to give it a try. I wasn't disappointed. I love that the stories aren't limited to ghosts and include other supernatural entities.

    As an added bonus, the African influence introduces the average viewer to new monsters in addition to a different culture. It's a refreshing change from the Euro/Anglo-centric American fare we usually see.

    I agree with others that Joe is extremely annoying, but he grows on you as the series progresses. I couldn't help but laugh at the one review that criticized Will's accent - seeing as how the actor is British playing a British educated South African (a former British colony).

    Really appreciated

    Really enjoyable for a South african production.... Maybe just use a few actual known haunted sites around south africa in the next season... really hope there's gonna be Season 2.
