Savage Beauty

Starts strong with a conventional but intriguing world building: rich family, dirt behind the glamour, past tragedies, etc.

It kind of loses its sparkle in the last episodes, because there are too many twist and turns and the vast majority are way too gratuitous.

Characters go from smart and manipulative to dumb and out of control with seemingly no reason, the quality of the script in general is a bit discontinuous and so is the tonal shift.

I would still give a chance to another season tho, just too see if they find a convincing way to wrap up the many subplots. Great soundtrack th.

Mmmm.

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!

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 great guilty pleasure drama. It has all the necessary elements of lust, greed, intrigue, and revenge. It is refreshing to see a drama using African beauty standards as opposed to Western as the norm.

A very interesting and very thrilling tv show.

The story touches on a lot of social problems, injustice and above all reveals what humans are capable of doing to get what they want. Whether it is to enrich, take revenge or even to do good.

The story always keeps you on your toes, because you never know what's going to happen. I recommend this tv show to everyone who is looking to listen to something thrilling with a lot of suspense.
