TV REVIEWS

Somehow, despite the clear degeneration of plot, 'Mpakani' manages to hold ones interest vaguely to the very end.

The series is filled with all the clichés and tropes that define the genre, everything that any good show would try to steer clear of.

'Pepeta' embraces what it is from the start, a drama intending to probe the duality of the lives of children raised in the hardships of Kibera.

The third and latest season of the South African hit series is by far the best of the bunch.

It wasn't a very complex premise they were working with, and the show's laziness attempted to make it even less complex.

Every single stage of this production seems to have been confused, or rushing it, or doing it for the money.

This show is far too textbook, far too tame, far too indulgent, meandering, predictable and far too boring. 

Audiences simply aren’t treated often enough to this level of gloss and polish. Because of that, even flaws appear as charming quirks to us. 

'Country Queen' is a series with potential to soar to unimaginable heights, and there are high expectations from viewers for future seasons.
