Trompoppie

IMDB Trompoppie

Super quirky Sout African with dialogue mostly in Afrikaans (but they do switch to English for popular phrases which was intertesting).

What was good

We really enjoyed this offbeat mystery. Luna was a fun character who evolved throughout the show. It was really dark with a light hearted edges that kept it from being a vintage baltic nordic noir. A unique aspect of the show is that all most all the main characters were wemon and good and evil are a bit blurrly throughout the show. We were never quite sure how to align personally.

Who would I recommed it to

People who like Heathers and seeing a self involved social network unravel in the high contrast landscape of South Africa. It has some well timed gore for shock value but isn’t a horror film. If your not into cheeky murder shows I would skip this one. It’s kinda silly but not overly so.
