    This is a remake of the Mexican show Dark Desire, also on Netflix

    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.

    Very very interesting

    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.

    Not Bad Not Good

    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.

    COPY PASTE RIP OFF OF ANOTHER SHOW

    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.
