Savage Beauty season 1 review - a revenge drama hard to put down (Ready Steady Cut)

This review of the South African Netflix series Savage Beauty season 1 does not contain spoilers. Queen Sono and Blood & Water certainly ignited a.

And once again, it’s such a shame that Netflix is not pushing the marketing of a series like this into our faces. While Savage Beauty is on-the-nose dramatic, it does well to keep the story balanced, bringing in other subplots of romance and desire, entwining well with revenge. The Bhengu family is presented as this dysfunctional, intoxicating, and disconnected family that is encouraged to control the news rather than show the reality of their pitfalls.

Savage Beauty is a tale of revenge and lust for power. Savage Beauty is one of the most compelling series in recent times. It is bringing a level of creativity back to our small screens that are being demonstrated in full-throated drama, and it’s been a good few years since we’ve had anything close to this calibre. While Savage Beauty may appear dramatic and sensationalized, it is an accurate commentary on what happens behind the scenes of mammoth controversies.

So, if the series return for another round, the storyline is likely to pick up after the events of the first season. In season 1, Zinhle becomes the new face of the cosmetics brand of the Bhenghu family. So, if the drama show is greenlit by the end of Summer 2022, we can expect ‘Savage Beauty’ season 2 to release sometime in Q2 2023. Thus, it can be a couple of months before Netflix decides and announces whether or not to recommission the show for another round. If you enjoyed watching the African show and want to know about the potential round two, you might be interested in what we have to share.

'Savage Beauty' Season 1: Ending, Explained: Was Zinhle Able To ... (Digital Mafia Talkies)

Netflix's South African series, "Savage Beauty," is a riveting story of an influential family and the foundations on which they have built their empire.

But when Don heard the recording and Grace got exposed, she was forced to leave the house. He had all the documents that could incriminate the Bhengu family and prove that they were well aware of whatever was happening in the warehouse and were running the show. Linda believed that Phila was behind the conspiracy as he wanted to become the CEO. Thando was happy as Don had finally agreed to give her a divorce, and he asked both the ladies to leave the premises. The Bhengu family was once again back on track, and Don was sure that he would resume the production of the bleaching cream once the dust settled. Don was showing a lot of interest in Zinhle, even when she was in a relationship with his son Edu. Zinhle had met a man at the party named Kolobe, whom she recognized immediately. Don organized a party to make the big announcement, and a video clip was played in front of everybody, where it was disclosed that Linda had a secret relationship with Don’s second wife, Thando. Zinhle had sent a friend named Vee to a party where she knew that Thando and Linda would be meeting. It was her identity, and she took pride in it and often turned a blind eye towards the discrimination that she had to undergo to be with him. The warehouse was intentionally put to fire and many of them didn’t survive. She went to meet her own family, and we came to know that she wanted to destroy the Bhengu empire and reduce it to ruins. She was vouching for Linda, as she knew a secret about her that had the potential to ruin the family’s reputation. Don Bhengu had two wives, Grace and Thando Bhengu. Grace was the first wife of Don, and she considered herself to be second in command. To the horror of the Bhengu family, those pictures were heavily edited, such that they had lightened the skin tone of Zinhle, and showed her to be a notch fairer than her actual skin color.

Stream It Or Skip It: 'Savage Beauty' On Netflix, A Soapy South ... (Decider)

After she and her family were scarred for life, a woman infiltrates the family of a beauty mogul, seeking vengance.

There are some parts of South African life, like the fact that Don Bhengu is polygamous, that may cause you to reach for your handy Google machine. It’s not until the end of the episode when you realize that Zinhle is scarred as well, but does a fantastic job covering up her scars with makeup. Again, the show isn’t trying to lay all that out in the first episode, which is smart. Zinhle has been living in the Bhengu’s mansion for a few weeks, under the strict rule of Don’s first wife Grace (Nthati Moshesh) — he is also married to the younger and more dyspeptic Thando (Angela Sithole), whom Grace constantly criticizes as a low-class drunk. Zinhle, meanwhile, gets permission to go to her hometown of Soweto to attend a cleansing ceremony for her recently-deceased cousin. The Gist: Worldwide brand Bhengu Beauty is about to unveil the new face of their brand, after taking submissions from the social media users.
