John Anderson Wall Street Journal 05/20/2020
The show has structural integrity -- valid dramatic reasons why it continues, at least through episode 6. It also has some very frank sexuality, which might help make it a hit among younger viewers, but parents probably should be advised. Go to Full Review Tambay Obenson IndieWire 05/20/2020

It wants to project edginess, with a reasonable amount of profanity, alcohol and drug use, as well as frank sexual situations that aren't typical in teen dramas, unless it's on HBO and stars Zendaya. The payoff isn't entirely worth the trip. Go to Full Review Common Sense Media Editors Common Sense Media 04/09/2024
This easy-to-binge show has strong acting and the suspense builds with each episode. Go to Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files 07/02/2020
8/10
There's no telling when Season 2 will arrive, but this first installment is more than enough to get sucked into this world of lies, deception and drama. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 05/22/2020
The mystery of 'Blood and Water' is plenty interesting enough to keep us watching. Go to Full Review Trey Mangum Showbiz Cheat Sheet 05/19/2020
Anchored by up-and-coming filmmaker Nosipho Dumisa and her crop of talented young, local actors, the refreshing mystery series proves the best teen dramas are not from America. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Linda T 06/06/2024 I Love this series, there's drama there's romance, huh.. I mean WoW! Love it! Love it. See more MICHAEL M @MichaelMpeaty 11/25/2022 Lead actress is not pretty enough for all that camera time, she has some weird blood lips going on. The girls do not even lookalike not even close, its so unbelievable See more tom m 10/23/2021 A reasonable story. Somewhat interesting. Steeped in some teen drama (sometimes a bit much). There is apparently another season on the way. See more 08/07/2020 Its a very good tv show in which an little girl that had a sister disappeared in the day of born and she can be at the same school of the sister See more 07/15/2020 the show offers a fresh interesting story that keeps you captivated and anticipating for more. See more 06/16/2020 The show has so much potential given it's premise but it doesn't bother to venture into more interesting topics or ideas, and rather settles for the typical high school teen melodrama which is only getting more trite and tired at this point...
