SPOTLIGHT | Comedy-drama series offers up escapist crime-busting fun

This week’s Spotlight takes a closer look at a spanking-new TV crime comedy-drama offering, as well as the latest movie and documentary series streaming locally.

Proof of Payment — streaming on eVOD and starring Thabo Malema, Mandla Gaduka and Sibonginkosi Tenza — lets you in on a thrilling game of cat and mouse. Notorious con artist Lefa falls head over heels for Lebo. It is, however, just a clever game and a test to find out who is most skilled in the art of deception. Don’t miss Spotlight’s interviews with some of the cast members, in which they provide their take on this suspenseful drama.

Wild Cards is a brand-new Universal TV crime comedy-drama series featuring Vanessa Morgan and Giacomo Gianniotti. The latter stars as Cole Ellis, a water cop demoted from the rank of police detective, while the former plays Max Mitchell, a woman con artist. Unlikely events bring the two together, and they then seek to redeem themselves by working as a team to solve crimes. This fun, escapist series airs on DStv channel 117.

Streaming on Viva Nation TV, The First Ladies Africa is a new local doccie series that celebrates African women trailblazers, with the first 13 episodes now available to stream. Honouring the milestones of these leading women as the first females in their respective fields, the series features groundbreaking success stories from across the continent in science, aviation, winemaking, the arts, and many more occupations. Showcasing and celebrating women is not limited to the month of August alone!
