Dam

Simply breathtaking. A much needed and groundbreaking series for South African Tv. I thought I was watching a high end American series. Dam could easily compete against shows like HBOs Sharp Objects.

The first episodes were good but it seems the writers put themselves in a corner and couldn't live up to the hype they had built up It ends up being an underwhelming experience which lives you with more questions than answers.

It's looks really great, there's a certain intensity in the beginning and it keeps you there for the most part. Eventually the pace starts to drag, the beautiful shots linger too long and it slips into melodrama instead of horror. Hopefully a second season will evoke more action and less crying. More intensity and less feelings. I still recommend the binge watch.

What an insanely refreshing physiological thriller/horror which is both tense and entertaining to watch! So up my alley when it comes to this genre. And to see stellar performances from great South African actors. All elements of filmmaking mesh so well together. Great design and cinematography that give such a stunning world that is so unique and believable. Season 2 please!

Not the biggest fan of South African movies or series. Only a handful of stories I that have interested me but I must say... for the type of shows I like this was an fantastic show. It had something of everything in it. Drama, romance suspense, some science fiction based on South African culture, you name it. I was intrigued from the second episode and could not stop watching since then. This was one of my binge waching series for the last couple of days! This had made me want to look at what others South African stories there might be that might jsut as good and intriguing. Well done to the director and cast.. this one I feel was definitely international worthy.
