South African drama offers a window to peek and reflects on the consequences for souls who would exact revenge at all costs.
‘Savage Beauty' is a six-part drama series about a young woman's insatiable quest for vengeance.
Starring Rosemary Zimu, who plays the deceitful Zinhle Mansinzini, is a determined lady avowed to bring down a very successful family, owners of a massive beauty empire.
Zinhle’s actions trigger a series of events but equally unfold secrets that would eventually come back to make her more despair.
Also cast in starring roles are Dumisani Mbebe Nthati Moshesh, Angela Sithole, Nambitha Ben-Mazwi and Jesse Suntele. Aside from the individual actor’s stellar performance, their cogent character delivery collectively lends credence to the storyline and its conviction.
Created by Lebogang Mogashoa and directed by the trio of Denny Y. Miller, Theta Pele, and Rea Rangaka, the Netflix original series is narrated in a typical South African cultural context, with unimaginable but believable twists that will keep you on edge from episode one to six.
And as far as riveting dramas go, you may find yourself so immersed in ‘Savage Beauty’ that you’d wish the storyline extended beyond the six-parter.
