Blood & Water is a South African teen drama based in Cape Town about Puleng Khumalo, an investigative high school student looking for her long-lost twin sister abducted at birth.

Fikile Bhele is a star athlete whose life gets flipped upside down when Puleng Khumalo becomes a part of her friend group.
This Netflix original is a binge-worthy sensation that incorporates scandalous romance, betrayal, rivalry, and plot twists. However, the originality, scenery, and diverse African cast make this series stand out.
The production shots and cinematography are well done, such as the opening scene from the first episode of season one, which reminded me of the Kilmonger scene in Black Panther.
The music soundtrack is exceptional too. I searched each song in almost every scene before finding the entire soundtrack on Spotify.
