If you are a fan of local dramas this one is not for you. The blurb says this a Reality TV show and they mean it in a literal sense. This is nothing like the Real
How to watch
You can watch on your mobile device using Kwese apps. If you want to watch on your laptop you will have to visit the iFlix website and not the Kwese iFlix website.
