I tried to like this.
I made it to the third episode, but that ever-present and loud atonal music, the fake melodrama in non-dramatic situations, the complete overwroughtness of everything, all make it a series that I simply cannot continue watching.
I understand what it's trying to do, bringing in themes like South African land restitution and rainbow-nation dynamics.
But by episode three, I haven't found a single character to care about. That is the very basis of storytelling, and sadly this series fails at that.
I truly don't care what happens at the end.
