Joel Keller Decider Aug 1
Marked has the potential to be a pretty outlandish show, but grounding the main character’s dilemma in her faith will hopefully tamp down some of the potential outlandishness. Go to Full Review
Pramit Chatterjee Digital Mafia Talkies Aug 1
2.5/5
It’s pretty tough to make a bad heist movie or show because, as a subgenre of crime media, it has everything in it (...) It takes a special kind of skill to end up with a boring mess, and that special skill has been displayed in Marked. Go to Full Review

Tazorora M Sep 3 This series captures the well known theme of whether the evil means justifies the noble ends. Babalwa, a dedicated Christian and former police officer, has her faith and convictions tested when her daughter is diagnosed with cancer and requires an expensive surgery that her family cannot afford. As a security guard for a cash-in-transit security company she decides to rob her employer with the assistance of some unexpected people - her fellow congregants. In a gripping thriller which constantly questions whether she has transformed from a saint to a beast, she is forced to make decisions which ultimately reveal that there are no grey lines between an armed robber and a saint.

And giving for you to wanna watch def worth the watch won’t be disappointed 10/10 if haven’t watched karma give that a shot to that’s 10/10 See more Tshina M Aug 2 What a powerful series! The production quality was top-tier, very modern, with a touch of that polished Hollywood flair. The lead actress absolutely carried the story; I felt every emotion she went through, almost like I was living it alongside her. The entire cast delivered strong performances, and I especially appreciated the moments of South African humor sprinkled throughout. It felt authentic, true to how we as South Africans can find something to laugh about even in the darkest moments. That ending though… it broke me. Watching Balalwa's faith being tested like that, taking the life of the very person who brought her a miracle, left me questioning so much. Should she have waited for the surgery date, hoping for a miracle? But then again, what if no miracle came? It really hits on the daily tension so many of us feel, between surviving in this tough economy and holding on to faith in God. It was deep, thought-provoking, and honestly, I’m still not over it. I’d watch this again and again. We need a second season, or at least another story from this brilliant team! See more Read all reviews
