“Savage Beauty” is a South African series starring Rosemary Zimu.
The series “Savage Beauty” employs a tried and true formula that manages to keep viewers engaged: an unknown woman becomes involved with an influential family and, through the tensions of their relationships, conflicts arise, and the stranger changes the trajectory of the powerful household, entwining herself with one member after another.
This time around, we are introduced to a model that becomes entangled with the powerful family who happens to own a prominent cosmetics chain in South Africa. What follows is an intricate web of intrigue, romance, murder, and numerous drastic twists and turns. And it goes without saying, this season promises to deliver even more surprises.
The spotlight is on the protagonist, Zinhle, portrayed by the ravishing and talented Rosemary Zimu. She perfectly embodies Zinhle: strong, spirited, but also haunted by her past. The narrative revolves around her, bearing similarities to countless tales of powerful families that will go to great lengths to retain their dominance.
This season, the power struggle is between the husband, his multiple mistresses, and his wife (Grace Bhengu), who compete for the position of CEO within the family business.
The curtain rises on the second season with a funeral of one of the sons and our protagonist on the run, accused and wandering among beggars.
“Savage Beauty” is an exhilarating and gripping thriller, and the second season premieres this Friday, the 28th, on Netflix. Enjoy the show.
