I knew it was never going to happen. I was just curious on what was she planning on doing with the 5 petitions she had

i love it i loveeee it 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

PearlThusi

actuallyamo_ it wasn’t a mistake

Yikes

I couldn’t finish episode one 😔

Ahhh that series ya bora 😏

I enjoyed the show. Loved that SA had produced a crime intelligence series that had humour and drama. The storyline was great and PearlThusi was thoroughly amazing! Im hugely disappointed by this. We need to appreacite projects beyond pettiness and giv credit where its due

😌😌😌

This is so sad, I love the first season :(

PearlThusi I remember when nasty c made this song for you. This song talks sense. I love it so much. Wish he dropped it. But trough all this, know that some of us love you big tyme❤️

She forgot who is her target market that's why the show is being canceled. PearlThusi may you get opportunity based on your talent and hardwork. Also try improving your acting skills criticism and failure is the greatest teacher.

Ain't cool to ululate when peeps lose gigs...whether you're a fan or not...ga se botho!

It was a brilliant production, reminded me of Jacobs cross!

Mxm no talent here on Mrs Afrika wanna be. She's just arrogant, selfish, rude n full of herself. Am about to believe that colourism thingy. I don't want to celebrate this. She must learn to respect people who support her craft, because they make her, They can break her.

Thank goodness

Didn't they say that the 1st season did well. Haai amanga. Thank goodness it won't be returning. Pearl has alot of talents but acting is not one of them.

I didn't even watch the hyped up season 1, those who did please give a rating out of 5 maybe I'll watch it as well

This show was horrible, I forced myself to finish the 1st episode.. 2nd episode I couldn't take it anymore 🚮🚮🚮😂😂😂😂😂

I know the pain of watching season 1. I am not repeating the same mistake. 😭😭😭😭

🥺

I enjoyed the series, I don’t understand why people think she’s a bad actor

You wasted money on useless things & useless people/fake actors/ actresses

Genuinely 1 of the most dull, boring, lacklustre, shows I've ever watched. The acting alone was in dire need of resuscitation, pity we cant if your a natural bad actor. Next time the producers must find better actors -There are many great local female actors, Pearl Thusi isnt one

She and the EFF same WhatsApp group

nah, Queen Sono is great. I watched the series and I liked it. I'm so disappointed, was looking forward to season 2

The series was trash. If you were able to finish episode 1, you have the patience😭😭😩😩😩

She hasn't seen anything yet

Children of SATAN'S are happy to see you down. They don't know you are not out.. a Zulu woman with some super powers.

What trying times? Its level one re tlala ko tarveneng without masks. You cant bullkak me. Queen Kuku and crew were fired period. American companies dont play when it comes to ratings

Eish, ke sono waitse😫

💔💔

Good news...

Kana in which episode was her scene with Kumkani?

Shem ke sono...not

Here I am thinking about getting Netflix next month so I can catch up😩

Okay 😊

Yerrr the comments🤣🤣🤣, kani wanentani lo pearl nebakitsi ngaphandle kwekutsi cute likhono,lwekulingisa.

Watched only 3 esp for 2weeks,did not even finish it!!!🤞🤣🤣🤣

The script was good. Pearl was awesome but I could not finish the first episode. Something wasn't working for me.

Maybe 2020 ain't all that bad..

It sucks anyway

It just trash nje 🚮

Is it really that bad?

Ontha_Nk do you think I should still watch it? 🤔

Thank God, eyi, infact take your time with it. It was really overrated 😒

I want to watch the show but I know her acting is going to make it a cringe worthy experience.

Asbonge it was boring.

I watched 1 episode and I tried mahn bafethu I really tried liking Pearl. She's a terrible actor and o na le stena.

Lol Hai vele iyabeda that thing

Favorite 💛💛

Ubani vele obebuka lekaka?

Maybe it wasn't that good.

It will do well in Nollywood

Good riddance!

Its not bcoz of trying times

NqoeWrites_ZW maybe 2020 isn't that bad

I watched 2 episodes and called it Quits . I literally have nothing against her but yeses that thing is trash .

Shame

Couldn’t even get past episode 1. Oh well

Tjo!!! mara ke sono ne

It's not worth watching anyway

So disappointed. QueenSono was amazing! PearlThusi killed that part and I’m always ready to consume KagisoLediga ‘s content! I’m so so bleak. Really was keen for S2! S1 one was action packed, the angle was such a unique take on SA history! A female action figure! 💔super bleak

Oh no ☹

But South Africans are loyally paying their subscriptions amidst those trying times, why is their loyalty not rewarded?

not people celebrating this 🙃

I haven't even watched season 1 yet

It’s not “trying times”, it failed to perform because it was to westernized. I watched 10 mins then I stopped. Zero Authenticity. 🙃

Trash like the main star!

I couldn’t even finish the first episode QueenSono

😕😕I like that show

Isono

What url havin for supper?

Hectic

Y’all didn’t support it, neh?

Shit series anyways

How does Netflix not have money nxa!

Abamoyiki uThixo, bawuba nesono.

Not after they said that guy left generations the legacy for this show 😳

I’m not saying anything, but if they had cast Thishiwe Ziqubu instead. This wouldn’t happen

I remember watching the entire season but I don’t remember what was happening

Nizonya ngu Pearl 😂😅😅🤣

The series was just as trash as the trashy lead actor...this woman is forced down our throat as some good actor..she just don't have the thing in her.

Good

No one cares.

🙏🏼

Love to see it

Who cares?

Yoh South Africans, what’s wrong with you guys You guys are hurting, why

Let her go and solicit her viewership from nigerians

katlegoktee1998 She's been blocking people on twitter until she accidentally blocked her show🤣🤣🤣

😭but-🥺 I guess we'll watch KOJ instead

this show was horrible to say the least

I thoroughly enjoyed season 1. I was quite keen to see how the story developed. Really well-written & produced. Quite unfortunate

Noooooooo

A good time to remind self that you lose nothing when showing sympathy to someone losing a job during a pandemic. Cheers to breaking new ground, praying for other new, bigger doors to open PearlThusi

At least something good came out of 2020. The storyline was weak...it has nothing to do with the actors just a weak storyline

I didn't watch season 1 simply because I can not tolerate Pearl Thusi terribly acting

Aowa mara Sono lesingaka🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️

Ke sono ka nnete

Si Sono ke esi

😏🤔

TheeNeoK 😹😹

It must’ve been the straw hat in the first scene that has magical powers - Shame it's sad!!!

PhilMphela

☹... I was looking forward to it.

TumzRC 😕

Corona getting something right?

The show was boring

Good riddance

Was it cancelled cos she’s light skin?shame man 😂

YiSono yaz ☹️

must be colourism.

I knew its cause Pearls light skin thats why they cancelled the show. Now they claiming its the 6 million rand over budget.

I'm yet to watch season 1...👀

It was actually cancelled because South Africans don’t like her anymore. She is busy fighting for open borders, high immigration and has made herself the defender in chief of all wrong things done by immigrants. She should go open her show in Nigeria and Zimbabwe! Tsek!
