Savage Beauty is a quick but thrilling watch from start to finish. It’s got everything that a good drama needs -- sex, secrets, and scandal -- and does it all through an authentic South African lens. lens. But the Netflix series isn’t just entertainment.

Lauraine A @Lauren386 Mar 4 Despite the huge amount of expectation i had in the plot of that show, given how high quality and near perfect the scenario of the first season was, i was deeply deceived to have given so much credit to it. I mean, you nail a whole season and achieve a twist that, even after killing TWO of the main good characters, still is thrilling and logically engaging without seeming excessive. All this gem building to lead us to A RANDOM KILLING WITH NO COMPLEXITY of the ONE character that represented the WHOLE show, OUTSIDE IN BROAD DAY LIGHT, within a few seconds of screentime, NO FOLLOWING ISSUE and skipping quickly to another clean page of the storyline ? I'm sincerely disgusted. This felt like a waste of time. We're not even asking for a fan service scenario, but AT LEAST make a logical one. This was supposed to be a thriller, not a horror movie with CHEAP nonsense killing scenes for God's sake. Kuddos to the characters acting skills though, but the plot wasted their talent.
