now where 'Verbotene Liebe' (Forbidden Love) ended here in Germany after 4664 Episodes with an unpleasent end and cancellation.. i was looking for another show (My fav show now is Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden from the netherlands.) but i needed another one and i was looking over to the south african etc. shows. And im already in Love with Rhythm City.. Tried Generations but don't get that show anymore.. And WTF is going on IN ALL OF THEIR SOAPS? So many Violence, Hate, Fighting.. This is like Crazy. Seriously not even on General Hospital was that much MOB WAR THEN ON ALL South African Soaps.. But i will continue rhythm city and already watching it on demand.. good show so far.. wish there was a way to watch older episodes |

Which soaps are you referring to that Zack? The only South African soap I currently watch is Binnelanders. It can get boring at times but when its on fire its on fire. It isn't that violent. Villa Rosa is in its final season and has been cancelled. It will end the final airdate is in March 2016. Personally I don't like SA soaps that much. I used to watch 7 De Laan when it started and it was good but it became worse. They have changed the soap a bit in the last few months. Have a new opening and new sets. You can see a bit of change in the soap though. Don't like the opening. My favorite soap was Egoli. They are rebroadcasting it now and I am recording all episodes for keeping it. It did start to go downhill the last three years of the soap. I am not sure where you will get previous episodes of RC. I don't think you will. Here are a list of SA soaps. 7 De Laan (7th Avenue, have english subs) Rhythm City Isidingo Villa Rosa (Not English and is in Afrikaans language. Its the final season) Binnelanders (Eng subs) Generations - The Legacy Muvhango Scandal Skeem Saam Zabalaza Uzalo (3 days a week) High Rollers (3 days a week) |

i don't know the name of that one but at least 4 soaps of sa are verry violent.. like for real.. and generations - the legacy is the best example.. on the 23rd july episode they have stormed inside that familys house and were realy brutal.. (i know there is this war going on between them etc.) but like seriously? that was a bit too off putting for me.. and rhythm city has some over the top violence in it but is keeping it calm with the other storys like Shakes and Mampho.. they are the sweetest thing ive ever seen in recent years. don't know but RC is realy awesome. i would LOVE to see egoli but it's nowhere available for me..

The African (black soaps) tend to be a bit violent. Binnelanders, Villa Rosa and 7 De Laan consist mostly of white actors. I don't mean this in a racist way. A few months ago there were a hostage situation in 7 De Laan where a coffee shop was held hostage. A lot of people complained because it had violence in it. Our soaps are a lot different than the American soaps and you can notice it. I have never watched Generations. I just followed the backstage drama when those 16 actors were fired. It was a soap opera situation by itself. I was pissed when the channel cancelled Egoli in 2010. After they got the cancellation notice it was like the writers didn't care and it ended crappy. I big disappointment. They then did a movie that focused on two of the characters and the movie was bad. Fans thought it would give closure but did not do that. I was lucky enough to have been invited twice to the set and it was an experience I would never forget. |

yes i apperienced that they are different But like i said.. Rhythm City has a pretty Dope Balance of Fun, Romance, Drama, Mob.. It's like some more Mature Mix of GH and Hollyoaks.. i love RC so much right now..Generations.. i followed it in like 09.. and 11 to 12.. and 13,14,15 sporadic but it annoys the hell out of me.. i know that feeling.. i went through an fan event of our old german soap: Marienhof in 07 and an beachvolleyball event of Marienhof/Forbidden Love in 09 and it was terrific and propper amazing... in august i am going to the Goede Tijden Slechte Tijden Live Event.. im pretty thrilled already and GTST is my ALL TIME SOAP after Forbidden Love.. |

You're Welcome.. RC has some balanced and catchy but strong tone on it that makes u want to see the next episode so badley.. and i like to introduce people to new good shows.. i was a bit confused to be honest at the beginning with shakes and mampho because it seemed like he likes her but then it looked like he friendzoned her and then Shakes Uncle wanted him to be nice to her to bring his crappy music to the radio station and i was like so mad at shakes

i love Scandal and Rhythym City. They are so Different to the American/british/Aussie/German/Spanish Ones.. I even think the african soaps are more violent-ish but have a lot of more of character developement to it and depth. i am still into RC and Bash and his Storyline from early2017 was one of the Best Storys and David is freakishily one hell of an badass Guy. I love him But these days i prefer SCANDAL! a bit more.. but etvz is mixing up episodes lately Weird that something ike this can actually happen in a time like this.i love all characters on scandal and storylines right now.. it's so intriguing. i love YV who fake robbed Neo.. but he is already suspicious because of Romeo who figured out as fast that there was something odd about it and remembered something from the fake robbery back in the day.. and Dintle trying to keep her sick uncle alive for 3 months because of some money insurance she just get if he survives 3 months. |
