A series with dark skinned unambiguous black women? *GIVE IT TO ME NOW!*
That's South African television for you beyps 🙂 the blacks are black to the end
Dark skin women have beeeen waiting thoughhhh.😭😭
That’s what I said!
Ikr
About time!! we really don't ask for a lot just a little representation here and there
I love how the show isn’t just a teen drama and discusses themes like corruption
Literally what South Africa is all about 💀
This comment gives me flashbacks to riverdale
corruption is incredibly prevalent in africa and it’s politics it’s honestly a mess. the working class should just start a revolt and eat the rich.
@@ntozakhensingwane.8305 true💀
@@ntozakhensingwane.8305 the way you called out south africa in its entirety 👁👄👁
being a south african and seeing how people all over the world are enjoying the shows makes me happy to know that our talent is recognized
luvhani mbedzi My brither and I watched and we loved it! Y’alls actors are talented and incredible storytellers!
I’m absolutely so happy hle. 😍❤️
Bruh🥺
luvhani mbedzi why did all their parties look like so much fun?!
i feel you!!
Honestly my favourite thing about Blood and Water is that it’s an African show with dark skin, black main characters but the plot is nit focused around the fact that they are black. Also, it shows the parts of Africa that some Americans didn’t even think existed, rather than painting all Africans as underprivileged and miserable, living in huts and constantly facing hardship, it’s just a regular drama where the characters happen to be South African.
Let’s just hope that it doesn’t become Riverdale 2.0. i.e Season 1 is good, Season 2 is eh then after that it makes no sense and both the cast and people watching are miserable.
Yes exactly ☺️
Period!!
YES and that is one thing that South African shows do best. I'm African basically all shows on DSTV (a South African cable network used basically all over the continent) are mostly like this. GREAT plots, developed stories and black and/or darkskin leads. Because it is such a norm, the shows don't usually focus so much on the blackness of the characters and as a result the characters are versatile and nuanced. The representation is real because it's Africa, so as a result the shows are great. South Africans also really value their cultures and they know the importance of representation so virtually ALL shows have black or mostly darkskin leads playing versatile characters.
Yeah, it’s finally a show I see that doesn’t show Africans as living in huts. I’m a proud African who has gone to a school similar to the one in Blood and Water in Africa. I’m so glad that this is a great drama show which celebrates South African culture.
✊😌
Not one time in the whole show did Puleng’s father deny selling that baby
Honestly...you're right 😬
hold on. 👁👁
Lol he said those were lies wrapped in truth.. So theres some truth
That's why I'm looking at the dad like 👁👄👁...I don't trust him
In court he pleaded not guilty
When Phuelang was taking pictures of the frames in the house I was yelling "Put your phone on silent you amateur!!" Camera making all that camera noise.
RIIIIIIIGHT 🤦🏾♀️
Amateur 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When Fikille's mom caught her I was like dang you're stuck.
saaaame lmaoo i was like dang ppl in tv shows /movies never silence their phones 😭
RIGHT IF SHE GONNA SNOOP DO IT RIGHT
Did anyone else find it weird that fikile’s parents didn’t change the birthdate because if you’re stealing a child might as well change the birthday so they are less similarities
Same!
I said the same thing about the film “Tangled.”
Now that you've mentioned... yeah. Like Amanda said, they are NOT good at covering their tracks at all 😅
They should have changed the dates, Phuleng wouldn't have noticed that it's similar to the one they have.
I think the Dad didnt know
They need to get into why Wendy hates fikile sooo much. They has to be something deeper than just shes rich
Right what is Wendy's problem .
Right Wendy has a personal problem with her.
Yeah that hatred runs very deep
Exactly 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 because Wendy's parents are rich too!
Yo did you guys peep the fact that Wendy might be gay? Like when she came into class and Thadira or whatever her name is, was talking about how she's been hanging with Wade, and she looked quite dissapointed?
TWO DARK SKIN BLACK GIRLS LEADING A SHOW!!! About time Netflix got their ish together.
Kris Be Knowin’ watch more south african shows dude!!!?
Inhle Cele any recommendations?
Kenny B hmmm most of them aren’t on netflix lol, you’d have to get showmax or dstv to watch most of them lol sorry
@@inhle1688 its bold of you to assume I won't just go get showmax if I find a show that peaks my interest 🤣🤣
@@kennyb1588 "Queen Sono" on Netflix the lead character is Pearl Thusi, you might have seen her on Quantico
Puleng's mother Thandeka had no right being that pretty like wtf
Why can't she be pretty?
IKR 🥰😍
Bria watts lmao sis issa compliment
She is so pretty
Gail Mabalane truly is that girl
I was literally screaming the whole time Puleng was snooping
Puleng sometimes was so messy with it, it hurt to watch 😖
I know like when she was taking clear pictures of the photo frame. Take a whole photo of it and go sit somewhere. And with the tampon I was like bish stop. Stop!!!!!!!!
Awa Touray She definitely didn’t know how to snoop it was aggravating lol 😂
Puleng was soooo bad at snooping. Lmaooo
ikr the whole time I was just like take the crap and go oml!!!
My ONLY criticism is how the show kinda romanticizes Fiks relationship with the coach. He’s a predator and he was grooming her-a CHILD. I was so annoyed with the characters shaming fiks when all the blame should of been on him PERIOD
Ajaratu Adisa You sound like R kelly- their relationship can’t be consensual because he had structural power over her. Same reason it’s unethical for a boss to date his employee. Legal or not she’s a CHILD and a victim completely. What does her parents having money have to do with him being a predator and grooming a teenager at his big married age.
Ajaratu Adisa She said a couple times how he told her he was leaving Riley and how he loves -clear manipulation tactic. She’s a inexperienced teenager and he’s a grown man. Teaching her to be sneaky, telling her to delete messages this is clear grooming. Like Amanda said-age of consent doesn’t mean right and not disturbing. He’s a predator and used his position as her coach to take advantage of her point blank.
YES just because she was legal and it was consensual didn't mean it was any less creepy
R.K.C omg yess!! They did the same thing in pretty little liars! They made Ezra so hot so we wouldn’t really call out how disturbing his relationship with his student was. It makes teenage girls think well it’s ok for my teacher to touch me inappropriately as long as he’s hot which makes them not report it.
But it's things that happen though 🤷♀️
After KB finished rapping his lines for the track and his friend was like ayyee ok.... I'm like honeyyyy you are not on the beat at ALL.
Asnnn🤣🤣🤣 Nasty C was quaking in that seat
💀💀💀💀💀💀
😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀
Serving blueface baby
nasty C was LYINGGG to our poor KB💀💀
Chris is a prime example of a man always in women’s business smh
he got on my nervessss
He's so nosey.
Aiyaluna Yourke fr even after she caught him cheating she forgave him because of a kiss and went on running her mouth to Chris
Aiyaluna Yourke rightttt i love how even after puleng told zama about how they made that video she STILL told chris more of her business like girl what is wrong w you? the dick cannot be that good 😐
He is such a weirdo. I hated him. Why is Fiks so easily persuaded by him? lol
I'm South African and can I just say that I'm so happy that my country created a show where a dark skin girl is pursued by a dark skin man. Here it's normal for us because we know what black girls look like but I'm so glad this type of show is going mainstream. Also the fact that it actual has a plot that doesn't center around her race 90% of the time is great. Also can we talk about the fact that the show doesn't center around Africans in poverty. We can go to private schools too and we can do normal teenage things like partying and not all of us live in huts. I'm so proud of my country and imma need this show to go mainstream to teach Americans how to give dark skin girls representation!
I've never been so proud t ok be South African 😭😭
FACTS !!!
Bruh.... Like now i really hope Americans stop asking us dumb questions like if we have electricity or running water....
ThisisIdontknoweither yessss! puleng is literally like me I loved it (just i’m not dark skin lol)💀
Literally my 14 year old brother while we were watching the show was like "I expected Africa to look a lot different" and I gave him the biggest side eye
I really wanted to fight Zama. She needs to learn not to air her friends’ business out like that, especially not to an opp like Chris 😂😂
Fr chris already act like he didn't like Phuleng when he first met her .
Girl stop telling your friend's business I can't...but she cute
WHY DOES SHE KEEP TELLING ZAMA STUFF DOE
Facts
I agree that Wade should've known from the jump that Pueleng wasn't interested, but felt that Pueleng was a bad friend to him. She only really interacted with him when it was about the case. He'd check in on her and try to help and be there but it's like she only saw him as a means of solving this mystery. Personally, that rubbed me the wrong way
She used Wade so bad and it pissed me off because she wasn’t even being a good friend to him. She would blow him off whenever he tried to be a friend outside of the case.
I feel like if he hadn’t had a crush on her it would have been less annoying. Had he just been good friends and being the principals son and a “goody two-shoes” he wanted to do this to add excitement to his life
she kinda used him
this was the MAIN reason I ain’t like Puleng, also her being really bad at snooping. I know it was realistic since she was like 16 but sksjqiwsjs
Puleng was such a flake to him, even we he was helping her out continuously, he was such a good friend and Puleng treated him like garbage, it pissed me off so much. ( unrelated I cried a little when Wade got heartbroken, not even that she owes him anything, but just so hard to see king Wade so crushed.)
Ok but I’m glad Wendy’s best friend won head girl because her friend actually needed the scholarship while Fiks just wanted it to prove something.....
Yeah I hated her reasoning for wanting to the scholarship. Like she was really trying to take and opportunity from a deserving person to prove some kind of point. She was beyond annoying
I never actually saw it that way, and I see your point. But at the same time, I feel like she should have won it fair and square, and maybe she could have without Fikile’s name getting dragged through the mud
ikr. and fiks speech was honesty not hittin & tahira’s was. we love the message tho 😌
I like how she stole her parents money to get the DNA kit but never used it 🤦🏽♂️
Wait she should have tried harder to use it .
kendra williams honestlyyy
@@dope__ryan203 If it was me I would have used that DNA test a long time ago. She should have hid her computer somewhere else .
But wasn’t she trying to get a sample from Fikile but couldn’t
It got stolen I believe when someone broke into the house
they did her real dirty with that wig. then they had the audacity to use a “rumor” on the show and say that she spends all her money on weaves. GURLLL if u spend that much money on that wig, u need to demand a refund.
Guuurrrrrrl! 🤣🙌🏾
Thisss 😂😂🤦🏿♀️
the hairstyles were accurate i cant lie
Jolisa Nope. Her wig wasn’t laid or sitting flat. It was just a pure mess. Stop pushing this agenda pls.
@@divinee4330 yea i remember it kept bugging me lol. it looked ok when she pulled it back in a bun, but otherwise i felt like it wasn't secured well.
i loved kb and puleng but when kb made out with fekile i wanted to jump through the screen fight him and he DIDN’T tell puleng 😑
Honestly I don't want fekile to be puleng sister puleng deserves better
He tried to tell her right before they had sex but puleng interrupted him before he could by saying she didn’t care
@@che3rub she definitely would've cared if she knew what he was about to tell her lol
@@che3rub that happens in everyy teen show, then the girl ends up getting mad and the boy apologizes and then they usually break up temporarily and then get back together again
When Fikile kissed Kb I was like nooo.
KB is my man but who gon tell him he can’t rap
Omgosh I was thinking this the entire episode he was trying to. Ugh I was cringing
😂😂
Oop- 😩😂
HHb ID lmfao ikr i just endured bc he cute omg
My boy couldn't catch the beat to save his life. It just kept running away from him
Can we talk about how Fili needs new friends cause Chris and the drug dealer are terrible people
literally! her non black friends are so trash! i think if it wasn’t for fiks’ money i do not think they would be friends with her
That part
TERRIBLE friends and she’s (Fili) easily manipulated and a little bit of a manipulator herself.
PERRRRIOD
FOR REAL!!!
I enjoy the show a lot. One thing I didn’t get is why she didn’t tell the group that Wendy changed her article, everybody in the group doesn’t like Wendy they know Wendy doesn’t like them so it wouldn’t be a stretch for them to believe that Wendy wrote bad things. I did like that Puleng was SO bad at spying and sneaking around cause that’s much for realistic for a 16 year old than the super spys that are normally on teen shows
Puleng never even told Fiks that she didnt have the article recording, like if you're trying to get in good with her throw wendy under the bus. Their back and forth on being friends or not was always so annoying because they could have solved it in 30 seconds
And wendy and wade were at the interview why didn't anyone ask wade what happened or if he had a copy smh
sydnae stewart right! I was so confused when Wendy didn’t send the recording right after the call since she had it on her phone or why Puleng didn’t make sure she sent her the recording before she told Finks she had solved everything.
I'm so glad you finally covered this
Right
the gorgeous gown sent me. That boy couldn't rap to save his life
I skipped every part where he was rapping
Whew it wasn't just me who thought that 😂😂
I'm really glad I wasn't the only one who was thinking that lmao 😂
💀The gag is that he's a rapper in real life. His name is Nasty C.
@@noli_ice no zhero is nasty c
KBs real name is Thabang Molaba
the only redeeming quality about chris is how open he is about his sexuality. thank GOD we don’t have another white boy in the closet, we’ve got enough of those.
i stg every teen drama has THE pastiest white boy just being confused about his sexuality for 4 seasons
True
i wake up and boom im a rat
like of course it’s real, ofc young white boys struggle with their sexuality, but it’s always pasty white boys. where are the non-white, non- male queers at? give us something different!
@@iwakeupandboomimarat this made me scream lmao
I love how you said “the only”, cos ngl he’s a pretty shit person
seeing the American reaction to Blood and Water makes me realise how privileged i’ve been as a South African to grow up seeing myself in media representation.
Yeah over here dark skin female leads are almost never heard of and the whole cast is beautiful
Same. I never realized just how important it is for them because it is a norm for us.
yea it’s amazing the amount of representation you guys have. i was shocked to see a darkskin lead. the most we get for black leads are mixed girls or lightskins with 3b hair. (not that they aren’t valid or anything but it would be nice to see more shades of black)
siennaa.5 completely understand where you’re coming from. they cast the same 5-10 black girlies and call it diversity and most of them are light skinned or mixed because colourism exists 😪 i hope you and every other underrepresented black girl grow to know you’re beautiful regardless of how the media portrays you 🥺 YOU ARE THE MAIN CHARACTER!
I hope the second season gives more backstory as to how Wendy became as vile as she is
I thought she was like Filkes's ex or something cus she was so weirdly hostile and weird
I hope so because Wendy is so angry.
!!!!!!!!
Fun fact: Blood & Water is based on a true story that happened in Cape Town, South Africa (where the show is based).
Ohmygosh this is what I had been telling everyone🙆🏽♀️
that is so fucking sad
What happened in that case?
@@nanaadusei6604 a baby girl was stolen from her family at birth and the stolen baby's sister saw her one day at school/work and they became friends, without knowing they were sisters but they both mentioned they had a "connection". and the mom saw her daughter hanging out and eating with a girl who looked exactly similar to her, and she immediately called the police and found out it was her daughter that was stolen as a baby and was raised by the woman who had stole her.
strawberry fraisier omg that’s crazy
As an African girl who lived in South Africa for a few years, I can tell you that shows like this are the norm. Black South African are very proud of their culture and South African make GREAT TV. Even kids who are privileged/westernized are proud of their culture and speak their native languages. As a result, South African shows (and most African shows for the most part but South Africa does it best) usually feature darkskin/black leads. Not only that, but the plots are very well developed, the stories are well written and thought out and the characters are nuanced. Shows with all black casts or mostly black casts are just the norm, so they don't have to focus on "blackness" throughout the show. It is just normal black people BEING. That is one thing that I truly love about South Africa, and Africa as a whole, they are unapologetically proud of their culture and know the importance of representing their image in the media. Black women are featured in a RANGE of different characters. From the damsel in distress to the strong woman.
I'm so glad that our African American brothers and sisters get to see this and so happy you loved the show!
As a South African , this is SPOT ON.
I wish I could like your comment more than once.
Annali sooooo trueeeeee, i feel so happy to be south african
edit: it’s also so weird seeing Americans pronounce or names lol
It made me want to visit South Africa so badly, it looks so beautiful
Hey, if you have any other SA dramas to recommend I would love to know!
This show’s cinematography was gorgeous. It made South Africa look amazing.
Fr the show had me hooked.
It's located in one of the best looking parts of the country...
South Africa is amazing and so is other African countries. The media mostly makes them look horrible and forgets that there are beautiful parts.
South Africa, IS amazing!!❤
It really looks that beautiful 😍
I literally wanted to slap Chris every time he was on my screen
Sameee he had to goooooo
he got on my last nerves and that white girl i hated them ‼️
Yesssss
wonyoung cutie what was the purpose of the white girl other yo be an instigator!
AlwaysAnnoyed Forever She wasn’t even an instigator half of the time. She and Chris had their heads stuck up Fiks’ ass🙄
When I saw the desks in the school I was like “ oh they are MONEY money ok” 😂
There desks looked like something you would see at a courthouse.
Those desks changed everything.
HAHA
i thought they where taking exams in some sort of exam hall😭 i was like “oh no the classes are just massive”
zoey’s hair on grownish switches up SO DRASTICALLY one second she has her natural hair out then she walks into her lil apartment and then suddenly she has a whole head of box braids next scene it’s a whole ass sew in sis didn’t you get cut off ? where you get the money for all this ???
exactlyyy like it was veryyyy unrealistic, how does she have the time and money to do all this while working as an assistant and going to school when she was cut off??. The styles were cute tho
I used to think they want us to assume she does her own hair...but I agree
i wanted to like fekile so badly but she started to piss me off so much.
Thank you!!! She was already shady af, someone just needed to expose her😐
She's like Serena V.W
I know she pissed me off to the max...
yes by the end i was like girl this better not be ur sister shes annoying, next caller!!
Sewa Zamba Yes! That’s the comparison I was looking for😭 Serena from Gossip Girl wasn’t a bad personality per say but she just did some dumb shit and played victim at times
I feel like Wendy hated Fiks because she wanted to be her.
I hated Fiks too tf
Definitely!
I think Wendy sees Fiks as not acknowledging her group's' privilege. Especially the dynamic between white and black South Africans (ie Fik's friend group). Ex: Wendy wanted to talk about injustices against black South Africans, and Chris and Fiks were making snarky comments in the back.
No I think they have some personal issues. She hates that girl a little too much.
For sure. At some point it was like...ok girl now you’re just doing the most. I’m also excited to know whatever Wendy has on the principal 🤔
FINALLY someone I follow reacted to Blood and Water ! Also I was happy to see a YOUNG DARK SKIN GIRL as the LEAD and a dark skin guy was pursuing her but I love how it was about her finding her sister.
Lol... Having dark skin women as leads is so normal for us...
Kefiloe Monare It’s not normal to us in America. White people are the majority here and there is a lot of colorism in the black community especially in America.
I know it's not normal there... Because of colorism and many other unfortunate factors
Kefiloe Monare Yeah but South Africa sounds pretty dope! I know y’all have your own adversaries but it’s great to know you guys have proper representation
TheLeah2344 pretty much
I'm more interested in seeing how Puleng and KB's relationship will change once his father's mess is exposed. cuz I know the KB and his father are really close. But he is also attached to Puleng.
I also feel like KBs dad has ALOT more dirt on him than stealing babies. The way Pulengs house got vandalised and her laptop went missing? I know that was him and Fikile's psychotic 'mother'. And when he and Puleng met outside the court and he said it dangerous for girls like her to be out and about in those particular ends...? very much sounded like a threat TO ME. and him saying he was looking into a high profile case on behalf of his client or some sh!t, I have reason to believe Fikile's adoptive parents wanted him to eavesdrop on daddy Khumalo's hearing. I already know that by the time this whole show is wrapped up, Fikile won't be the only one in need of therapy
and sorry for the whole essay lmao I just really love this show and I really love you and your channel as soon as you announced on twitter you would be watching the show I have been stalking your page like CRAZY waiting for your reaction video xxx
Facts
i cant wait to see fiks reaction to the whole sitaution will she accept or will she break down
my exact thoughts
I felt like that was Kb's dad wahy of saying ,he will kidnap her . I think Kb's dad stole her laptop so they can see what has she discovered about Fikile.
@@cadenmarisa1685 I think Fikile will be shocked and hurt.
fikile’s character just got progressively worse as the show went on... by the end i couldn’t even stand her
I feel like she was just the "nice" rich girl in the beginning, and by the end you realize she's a lot messier.
Fikile should have left her swim coach alone . Now she didn't get that scholarship.
right. i had no sympathy what so ever like come on now. like kb said how tf was that gonna end up okay
Aiyaluna Yourke that’s what I was thinking the whole time!!!! Like win a race, be valedictorian but don’t take an opportunity away from someone else.
nich exactly
I liked Wendy in the beginning because I loved the confident Black girl. But then she started being trifling and I was like " oh nah 😭😭"
SAAAME LMAO i was all for the message n then sis sabotaged puleng’s article and i was like pause 😐
I just wanna know how the HECKKK Puleng transferred into the rich school in a matter of DAYS?!! The desks and uniforms were giving me lifeeeee 😫
Right!! And then I remembered the tiny desk I sit on at school 😪🤣🤣
A darkskinned girl lead that’s my age in a great show. And I can actually relate to her??? Yep we won!
🥳🎉
i'm from South Africa and the fact that Americans are watching this.😭😭🤲🏾 we love to see it.🥺
I’m so proud that it was number 1 over 10 countries😭❤️
@@n_lmk5108 DUDE.😭😭❤
Are there any other shows that you recommend?
@@tsuyayaka1 The River on Showmax is really good
And intersexions on Netflix is also amazing
it was nice to see a black show with black leads where the main focus about the show is not being black. also i feel like KB's mother was a main culprit in this whole scandal
I thought KB’s mother wasn’t in his life ?
Yesss! My thoughts exactly. Probably why she even skipped the country.
Omg where's your profile picture from? I wanna watch that! Whatever it is lol
@@ItsNessaTho it looks like a character from Hunter x Hunter, longgg anime
I actually feel like both Fikile AND KB are a product of the scandal. The way both of. Their parents are trying to cover it up.
Show was messy, but had to watch it all cause actual black girl (non lightskin/biracial) representation on Netflix. If Riverdale still get renewed we could get a second season of blood and water
It is beyond me how shows like riverdale and grownish have lasted so long
Blood and Water was done so well because that’s literally how school is in Southern African private schools 😹
I beg to differ. Its like the script was written by someone who went to a government school portraying what a private would be like. I say this coming from a hunny who actually went to a private school in Johannesburg.
Ayesha Fakude yeah that was definitely a public school representation
The classroom furniture 😭🙌🏽 I wish I had that type of back support.
Real question: Did Fik’s dad not know Fik’s was kidnapped? The mom had a whole panic attacked at the meeting but her dad didn’t even blink. Like he aint put 2 & 2 together?
he has to know since she wasn't pregnant
Maybe she faked her pregnancy
Or was pregnant and lost the baby late in her pregnancy
Pelo MK That’s what I was thinking. In many kidnapping cases where the families don’t suspect anything is because the person was pregnant and then showed up with a baby, unknown to them they had had a miscarriage
The show is based on a real story that happened in Cape Town. The father had no idea because his wife hid everything from him. She told him that she was in labor and that she already had the baby while he was at work. Look up the story on it if you want more information.
I really feel like the mom is the one who had a lot more to do with the kidnapping than the dad. The way she acts and how dramatic she is after 17 years. I feel like she’s trying to keep up a show. And then how she was suspicious about the articles when she was snooping around. The mom is just off to me and I know they were having money issues even before Pueleng went to Parkhurst.
Dang I never thought of that. They might twist the plot in season two 👀...
@@jaleyj You know what ,the mom might know something . Why does she all of a sudden want to move on from Phuleme ?
i agree! not to mention that crap ass scene where sis walks in like 10 secs after puleng is in the bathroom. slowly walking in and talking to her nice like...sis i couldve been taking a dump 👁👁
kendra williams well I think the explanation for that is because Puleng went off on her mother for focusing more on her missing daughter than the kids she has in front of her.
@@wayfaringstraanger ohh when Phuleme was arguing with her mom I was like dangg.
ROTFL, "she's just bad at snooping" is an understatement. Puleng is the picture definition of conspicuous. Girl doesn't know how to be sneaky to save her life XP
Honestly😂😂 everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and the girl couldn't snoop to save her life (she's still my favourite character though)
she is soooo slow, like just take a pic and look at it later
This show is the definition of MESS and I loved every minute of it
fiks' hair was a mess the whole season im not sorry
It was a shame because she’s so beautiful
sis didn’t even have a part 😔
its puleng’s 2014 culturally patterned yellow & black back pack for me 🙈
I was like FINALY a Dark skin girl with natural hair styles AND the show is awesome
The girl who plays wendy is beautiful she is a amazing actress
Her name is Natasha Thahane she is a well know SA actress she's very good , kills all her roles. She's also a New York Film Academy Alumni
@@tsheamosefoloshe2232 wow amazing
Lol! She is also tata Desmond Tutu's granddaughter.

ikr half of the time i couldnt even be that mad at her bcus she’s so cute 😭
THE WAY WADE WAS BEHAVING AS IF PULENG DID HIM DIRTTYYY it was a friendshippp
EXACTLYYYY how r u gonna get mad at her even though you volunteered yourself solely because you liked her. like dont do it to urself i beg 😩!
Yess yooo just giving off that nice guy entitlement. Like bye 😭😭
Yes and I didn't feel sorry for him because he was initially shading Tahira the same way.
Considering how much he was helping her, she could've been a better friend. I got the impression that Puleng suspected his true feelings for her, but since she needed his help to find her sister, she kept lying and hiding things to keep him on her side. And sure, in most teen shows the "nice guy" always ends up being a prick, so I can understand her hesitation a little bit. But I still think Wade gave more than enough reasons for her to trust him and Puleng should've been more honest too. Communication and snooping weren't really her strengths.
Exactly why was he mad she never said she liked you and you agreed to helping her because you liked her don't do that
I wanted to like Wendy, especially in the beginning but then she went wild... I was like dang, you making valid points but I can’t be on your side. She just met Pueling & then changed the article for some... in her head revenge? Then Pueling didn’t even try to defend herself 🤦🏽♀️
Loool "wild" 💀
Same
No offense but I was not a fan of Fikile’s crunchy, stale, and thin weave or wig :/
i thought i was the only one thinking that. She had the worst hair in the entire cast
Oh I was absolutely NOT
Right... I don’t know if it was a personal decision, budget cuts, or if the stylist was a student or Tyler Perry. Hopefully they hook her up next season.
Exactly her weave was THINNING😭 and it was bothering me
I was looking for this comment!! Every time she was on the screen that’s really all I could focus on. Like they did not have to do sis like that.
Is it only me that thoroughly enjoyed it when Puleng kicked everyone's ass that was disrespecting her family? Both at her old school and Parkhurst 🤣🤣🤣🤣South African over here. New subie🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 Loved this❤️
the way kb had just no bars....zero bars.....
I’m soo ready for season 2 😫, but because of the pandemic we probably won’t get a new season until the end of 2021 or maybe even 2022.
I'm trying not to think about this because it's really sad..
Cort Doe Not the year I’m graduating😞🥴
They said season 2 will come out in June 2021!
Edit: Lol I stopped watching it
@@feen4puddha JUNE 2021???!??!? WHAT THE FAWK
My fave character is deffo zama coz she’s kinda one of those ditzy best friends and a lot of shows make them bad friends and emotionally unavailable and just there for a good time but zamas really sweet like when she got Puleng into the party etc ✨🌸🧚♀️💖
@Aiyaluna Yourke wade gave off nice guy entitlement
South African television is bomb, and ain't enough people reacting to it, I'm glad we have this reaction thanks to Netflix to world.
Not enough of our stuff are on platforms that stream internationally. They need to change that ASAP!
Right!
but fr we need to emd the river bc im tired 😔😔🖑
Any good recommendations for South African shows?
I am mad that Ayeye is not international. I love S.A productions.
Idk if anyone else got this vibe, but I think Wendy might be lesbian or bisexual. I didn't even pick up this vibe tho until the very last episode where she was talking to Tahira and she seemed jealous of her hanging with Wade (and she also had this longing look on her face when Tahira turned around from the convo). Am I crazy or did anyone else catch this as well?
So it wasn't just me!!
i was thinking that too!
Same!
Right?? I got those vibes from the very beginning. The way she supported Tahira during the whole Head Girl situation... Sure, anyone would probably have done the same for their best friends, but idk. Maybe I was just projecting since I'm bi. I'm used to looking for crumbs when it comes to these teen shows 😂
@@pikapikasoftlint2224 that wld explain y she was goin so hard for her friend
see id say wade was friendzoned by puleng, if she had even treated him like a friend.
She was so rude to him 24/7. Like, he’s doing you a favor!
I love the way you discuss shows. You actually get into the details and talk about it the way i would talk with my friends. I loved this show, i need a second season IMMEDIATELY!!!
thats how vids like this should be. I hate when I watch other reviews and they just tell me what happen like i saw this shit already... tell me how YOU feel lol
@@Dom-if7rx righttt
Fr she went so into it. She talked about each character and how they acted when they got upset.
OK but i feel like Wendy has a weird obsession with Tahira... the fact that she "warns" her about Wade even though Wade isn't even a bad guy, or how she slightly becomes increasingly obsessive about Tahira and her campaign for the head girl.. that just doesn't sit right with me. Sis is out of it you can't tell me nothing.
Each time Chris got exposed I was sooo happoy😂😂
South Africa has so much talent, we need to get our content out there. The writer of the show is Nosipho Dumisa, a beautiful dark skinned woman that I went to high school with. It's a major win for our small town in the South of KwaZulu Natal.
the way you're pronouncing their names is so adorable 😂💕
I know right !
Where my Africans at?🙋🏾♀️
👏
Here😌
I really enjoyed this show, I was so happy to see a black leading cast.
Wade deserves the world !! I love him ❤️
I was so mad that they cut it off there, I need season 2
Honestly, I KEPT CLICKING where ‘next episode’ used to be
I feel like Fisks acts like her life sucks even though her parents are both rich and it’s not enough for her, like she comes off very annoying and spoiled to me. I also hated how she blamed Pelung for every thing that happened to her even though she knew that the things happening to her wasn’t Pelungs fault. She also blamed Pelung for snitching on her about being with a grown men when she should’ve been with him in the first place.
right like the fact that fisks & her gang tried to normalize that shit n act like puleng was in the wrong 😐 thank God KB wasnt having it 😩
y’all have to realize that rich people have problems too
I literally subscribed to Netflix just to watch this show
U could’ve used soap2day.com and it’s free
@@ucheokaforxox8355 that's piracy
I enjoyed the show but the only thing that was triggering me was how Puleng and Fiks changed their minds 24/7... I mean almost every episode Puleng was turning down Wade because she suddenly didn't want to find her sister? And then ten seconds later she begs for him to help her. Like girl stick to your decision or something 😐
KB is gorgeous 😍 thought i was the only one
I saw the characters and saw that they had 2 dark skin female leads and I was like I dont need to know what it is about and I dont need too I need to make this get a second season. And make netfliex know that a dark skin female can be a lead and succeeded.
Absolutely LOVED hearing the Zulu and the Xhosa throughout the series. Especially when Fik's mom spoke! African languages are so musical❤
Thank you! When you SNOOP, you need to be stealthy, be quick, and have those lies READY. Everything you said here was factual. Facts on facts. Fax it to me now. Where's season 2? Also, the day I learn at least how to cornrow will be the day I start giving myself new crochet braids bi-weekly💁🏿♀️
As a swimmer I cant go into a body of water without feeling a need of doing laps. Also people want to race you when they find out you are a swimmer, so I cant JUST chill in a pool.
Lol there is a lot to be said for sitting at the bottom of the deep end
I absolutely love the premise of this show !! It gave me everything I wanted. Two dark skin lead actresses, set in Africa and shows another part of Africa that the media never sees !! All that’s amazing but the show it’s self left me wanting more, I feel like the story could have been articulated better and the plot carried better! Let’s hope it improves in season 2
I agree, if the season had more episodes and time to flesh out the plot the story would have felt more developed
d e exactly!! I’m glad you agree !! Like it needed a lil more .... just a lil something something
I'm South African and I'm so glad you did this review. ❤
Can we talk about the Pueleng and Fekili fight scene for a sec, cos honestly I love Pueleng wasn't acting like a victim and asking "Why would you do that to me". I love how instead she fully fought Fekili which is much more realistic.
I meaaaaan I don't really like violence but I was LIVIIIIING for those slaps 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@shirleyn.8563 Frr the camera and sound effects were doing bits for the fight but I was here for it ALL
The people who disliked this are the principle, Wendy, Reece, Chris, fikiles mom, chad(the coach), Fiks, etc ( unrelated Wade 👑💕❤️)
The thing about Wendy and Chris is they’re not messy. *They’re chaotic!!*
I’ve never related to a show so much like I was so excited when they were like fighting for head girl. And those uniforms gave me a very harsh flashback.
Belinda Nfuka are the uniforms accurate?
Kenny B yes they were pretty accurate except for the weird looking ties that some of them were wearing. Also at my old school we didn’t have to wear the blazers every day we just had to wear the sweaters that they were wearing underneath the blazers every day. the Blazers were for more special occasions, same goes for my sister’s school. Also it was very accurate that Fikile’s blazer had her accomplishments stitched on, When you accomplished something big in my old school they would give you one of those fabric things with your accomplishment on it to stitch on your blazer.
Sameeee at my old school we had to wear white button down shirts, plaid skirts, (shorts were not allowed) high knee socks, and those old fashion shoes with a tie. Tell me about it 😂 and you could’ve worn a blazer if you want but they were expensive.
@@belllllsss123 thanks! Also is there a reason why some people had blue blazers and others had red?
Kenny B In my old school there was a three colors of uniform red, blue, and black. Red from 1st - 8th grade, blue from 9th - 11th grade and black for 12th and 13th grade so we had similar outfits but our blazers and sweaters and ties were the different colors
Ooh yess and watch Avatar the last airbender while you're at it
not the movie lmao that shit is wack
Literally one of the most iconic cartoons. At least for me.
Yes I love that show I rewatched it recently and it’s still just as good as it was watching it as a kid in 2005.
Yes my fav show
- therealchrishansen - we don’t discuss the movie...
Also glad we got high schoolers who for the most part look like high schoolers and not overgrown 20 year olds.
Most of Production Companies in SA are closed because of Corona. I'm currently at home and we're supposed to be working on another SA Netflix Original coming out soon. Hopefully we open up soon.
Name please 🤣
It's completely safe to say don't trust anyone named "Wendy"
she's the new karen
I wanted to throw my phone
Yes and she also put her friend down for doing the film reviews saying they were trash.
@@nomahope3182 She was so rude ,she should have supported Tahira.
Hey hey... let’s not get carried away
When you started talking about KB and said beautiful boy I literally screamed out “thank you!” because that is all I could say when I looked at him for the duration of the show
Did anyone find it weird how there was a head girl competition but there was no head boy competition. Because in my old school we had both and the votes went on at the same time.
At most schools that I know of atleast, the spot for headgirl is highly went after but usually the boys aren't that fazed for the spot of headboy
I feel like they mentioned head boy but didn't focus on it
At the town hall I’m pretty sure girls were on one side of the stage and boys were on the other side, we just focused on Fik
There was a head boy competition but they focused on the girls. When they did the speeches there was boys up there
I'm pretty sure I saw a boy sitting in line to talk so...
Why didn't you talk about Puleng's mom?! She's gorgeous
And an amazing actress; she also created/produced the show.
I needed this Chris drag because that boy made me livid, can’t STAND him
I love K.B he's a sweetheart
AEL Daniel Same
@@pikapikasoftlint2224 👀I try to delete it out of my memory
Ajaratu Adisa it was probably going to be more than a kiss if Fiks' mom didn't interrupt...
He was so nice he stood up for Fikile when Chris talked about her.
I do too. Really nice and understanding 🥰
My mum and I literally bursted out laughing when KB was rapping, who is this show trying to fool lmao?
😂😂😂
I swear Wade actually became a Nice Guy though. Like he got all moody with Puleng after he saw her and KB kissing, then said he wasn’t going to help her anymore. That kind of implies that the only reason he was helping was because of the prospect of a relationship
I literally just finished the show and my first thought was that you need to review it. Look at the blessing
Fikile Was The Type of Girl Who Got Away With A Lot of Things Growing Up Because Her Mom Went SOOO Hard For That Stolen Baby. She Was Naive, Like You Said, Because Chris Was Always Down To Do Her Dirty Work. . That HE Makes Up.
ALL MY AFRICANS SAY HEY 🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲
HEYY 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
HEY 🇬🇲🇬🇲🇬🇲
Heyyyyy 🇳🇬🇳🇬
HEYYY🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
HEY🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
I was so annoyed when Fikele blamed Puleng for losing head girl. Like Fisk your speech was not good.... not everything in your life was Pulengs fault. I loved wade tbh. He was so sweet and a good friend. Also liked KB and how he was with Puleng
