Although cinematography wise it's really nice, that isn't what makes a show great. It's the characters, the conflict, storyline, acting, editing and so forth. Personally, I was intrigued to see a teen mystery show not about murder; the "missing sister" plot reallyseemed cool.
As regards to the show itself, I admit sometimes I did get frustrated with the storyline, specifically the subplots. Not that they were bad, they were decent but could have been even better integrated with the main plot. Plus, at times I really couldn't relate to certain decisions taken by the main character, especially since they were not the anti-hero type (meaning we are supposed to root for her). Overall however, the acting wasn't bad and I don't believe that it was slow at times. Quite the contrary, I think more time should have been taken to deeply explore certain character's feelings and existing relationships (so the audience canecan more).
On the whole this series is worth watching, and going along the journey to find the sister is THRILLING. With a few minor adjustments and maybe more focus on the sister for a more edgier vibe it would definitely be a 9.5/10! I still binged the series, enjoyed and appreciated it despite my remarks. I'm just a bit picky since this isn't my typical genre. I would also like to point out that it is a refreshing perspective of an African country, something as multiple people commented on the show being to Western. I guess they are surprised that there are people in SA who are not poor or sick.
Anyways, happy bingeing 🙂🙂
