While the sophomore season was laid-back but still packed a punch, it was more like a beautiful build up to the third season which is a lovely surprise. Congratulations to everyone involved from the cast to the behind the scenes crew as Blood & Water is a global success, topping the charts on Netflix to universal acclaim with a mass audience, you cannot deny the outstanding onscreen performances and brilliant writing. 

Produced by Gambit Films a story by: Nosipho Dumisa-Ngoasheng. Daryne Joshua & Travis Taute. featuring writers such as. Nelisa Ngcobo. Thati Pele. Chinaka Iwunze & Mmabatho Montsho who also made a brief appearance on episode 6. Blood & Water has proved to be a solid world where they don't run out of material and start to run around in circles. What we most appreciate about this season is the darker tone, it's so compelling and gives you a fresh new grasp of thrills.

Puleng (Ama Qamata) is used to the mild danger but the closer she got to uncovering the truth the more everything got too real and dangerous. The storyline didn't become unrealistic it showed her flaws and how she bit more than she can chew. Having experienced loss and a traumatic event, this young lady sure needs some therapy and we should all sue her for emotional distress. 

Lisbeth Molapo (Sonia Mbele) is a character we underestimated but her onscreen presence was unsettling, you were on edge without her saying a word because she effortlessly shined as a villain who'd do anything to cover up the not so glamorous roots and have everyone just admire the flower not knowing it has thorns that do more than just prick. 

She's one character we applaud, she brought intensity and drove the story to a great climax.

Fikile (Khosi Ngema) is one character we'd love to see smile more often and have happy episodes. This season she went through a lot that may come across as a transformation and self awareness. Sometimes she feels like the little sister with how she's vulnerable. You find yourself wanting to root for her but there are so many layers with her character, we cannot see how the writers bring that out.

Wade (Dillon Windvogel) brought in the humor and for a minute we were worried it would get formulatic and dull but Wade's personality is beautifully expressed and you can't help but chuckle or cheer him on. He's the warmth of the show. His role was more daring as he dived deep in for Puleng. Our onscreen Hero of the year if you ask me.

 KB (Thabang Molaba) is one character who brought in some tension and he had to turn a deaf ear when he could hear his parents onna guilty beat, rapping up evidence with subtle lyrics. In the end he stood for the truth but has to live with the pain of breaking up his family in the name of justice.

Chris (Arno Greeff) is conflicted this season, having to be in touch with his feelings and making choices seemed hard for him. It was like opening a can of worms when he just had to be honest about how he felt. He comes across as a certified jerk but lately it's becoming clear that the parents being absent made him feel how he treated others. Will he choose the newest hottie in town Lunga (Mpho Sibeko) or his Top of the class lady Wendy Dlamini (Natasha Thahane)? It'll depend on the heart, he is pansexual after all. 

Reece (Greteli Fincham) I miss her edgy bad girl persona, in season 2 we saw her vulnerability and the brunette hair complimented that, this season she had blonde highlights, we want blonde Reece back. She's someone who had to be strong and stand to survive given the cards on the table, instead of a poker face she built high walls. 

Overall it's a fast paced Season with balanced flavors that don't get too much. There's the romance, comedy, drama and thrills that offer a variety of tones that will have you entertained and charged up for a good time. As for Sam (Leroy Siyafa) we wish he had more screentime but the cliffhanger gave as a hint that it's only the beginning. The music was really good, stunning cinematography; proper locations and great casting choices. The fashion was on point but can we have more episodes? The writers proved they can hold their own so with 10 episodes there's no way they'd give us a filler episode. 6 just isn't enough. We score this season a 5/5. It maintained the high school setting and also touched on a dangerous world where our ambitious teens got exposed to, kicking off an adventure that could have them starting a crime fighting organization, you never know.
