I lasted all of 15 minutes before giving it a thumbs down. Not my cup of tea. Imho poor storyline exacerbated by poor acting and directing. I won't recommend it.

Watching KLEO now. Almost gave it a thumbs down after episode 1, but a quirky, almost tongue in cheek story. Acting not always very good though, but watch-able.

Watched all episodes on Friday/Saturday

Better than I thought it would be
Shows how kids were treated in the 60's/70's
Shows how the old NGK ministers were
Not great acting - but better than some of the European dubbed crap
What was nice was to see where it was being filmed and relating to the areas

Worth a watch but not an Emmy/Oscar contender

Don't believe everything you watch on TV.
 
I'm 101 in, no clever comments or mention that Ludik's goose is that ditzy blonde from 7de Laan? Anyhow do we see any bewbs & such from her in later epi's?

Rob van Vuuren get a vote from me & Arnold Vosloo has good screen presence.
 
There's something a bit off about Arnold Vosloo's Afrikaans accent (when he's actually speaking Afrikaans). Must be all those years in LA, but it's a bit distracting.

Also, it's really strange that his character, Daan, is a complete ******* to his wife and kid, but treats his co-workers like gold.

Personally I like it though, I think it is sweet to the ear.

I'm a brown English speaker though (if that makes a difference).
