This series is a little controversial. adults acting, teen story, adult content but the plot is based on students. It is available on Netflix. Its cover seems like a typical school drama however the partying and sexual aberration going on is far beyond what most promiscuous adults have experienced.
The Story
A teen is in search of her sister who was abducted as a child. In the process she ends up in the same school as she is and school drama starts as she aims to make friends and establish if this is truly the girl whose birthday her parents have imposed on her and her brother to celebrate for almost 17 years.
The main plot is enchanting despite the sex scenes that would sicken the most prude person. The script is quite good though there is no originality in phrases or language.
The Actors
The actors are quite good. Having watched a number of them doing grown-up roles in other movies, it is interesting to watch them act as students. I was able to appreciate the talent of Natasha Thahane and Cindy Mahlangu afresh. They really do a great job.

Technical Construction
A good job was done by the crew. Sound and is lighting except in the prison scene, is great. I love most of the music and theme music is not bad. What is different in this movie is the magnified sounds of normal sounds like Puleng’s breath each time she is in trouble or comes to a realization. Camera angles are awkward at times and not necessarily adding any value; for example when.KB is talking to his father about his relationship with Puleng ( Episode 4, 39 min)
Conclusion
Directing: Do all Aspects of the movie come together
