Anchored by up-and-coming filmmaker Nosipho Dumisa and her crop of talented young, local actors, the refreshing mystery series proves the best teen dramas are not from America.
The show has structural integrity -- valid dramatic reasons why it continues, at least through episode 6. It also has some very frank sexuality, which might help make it a hit among younger viewers, but parents probably should be advised.
It wants to project edginess, with a reasonable amount of profanity, alcohol and drug use, as well as frank sexual situations that aren't typical in teen dramas, unless it's on HBO and stars Zendaya. The payoff isn't entirely worth the trip.
