Entertainment Avenue: What's On Tv? 

PhotoCred: DSTV

Redemption on BET Africa.

A Family At War With Itself. 

At first I wasn't sure about the show when it first premiered in Seo. Couldn't connect with the first few episodes but recently I feel like it had a beautiful build up/ progression. The Actors are well fitted into their characters. It's a good show of drama within the family and brings out other main characters that compliment the Zikodes. 

It's fast paced drama that's intense, gripping and carries so much depth. While it may come across as relaxed and laid-back, Redemption makes up for that by proving that just because it's in a fancy setting it doesn't mean they can't get their hands dirty. Unexpected turn of events are the delicious offering that will have you gasping for air, they know how to set the pace. I enjoy the ongoing tension and how it affects everyone involved not in just a mere theatrics approach but highlighting character traits, conflict and other ingredients that just make a serve of amazing story telling.

With hints and dips of comedy to the heavyweight drama that is sure to have you on edge and some exciting blends of families and friends. Having a spicy/sassy character like Queen (portrayed by Leera Mthethwa) adds a fun touch on the show, she brings the smiles, charm and sparkles like champagne. Yvonne (portrayed by Pearl Modiadie) is the femme fatale who just fits into the role as a credible villain who will do whatever it takes and how did she end up with a Pastor's Son? Some things just don't go together but stranger things have happened. Set in a Faith centered storyline we get to see the different decisions people make in trouble, especially when their back is against the wall. 

It's a must watch and definitely deserves more. It's refreshing, has its own jive that feels different to what's on TV. The energy is different.
