In a sea of new films and shows dropping almost daily, grabbing a binge-watcher’s attention is no small feat. One way a series stands out? Landing in Netflix’s Top 10. While titles like Death by Lightning and Nobody Wants This have dominated the charts since their releases, a fresh show has just broken in and it’s definitely worth the hype.
Sitting at number 10 is Bad Influencer (not to be confused with the streamer’s true-crime doc Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing). At first glance, you might think it’s a parody of influencer culture but it’s actually more of a drama where one character happens to be an influencer. Set in Johannesburg, the series follows BK (Jo-Anne Reyneke), a struggling fashion designer and single mom, who teams up with Pinky (Cindy Mahlangu), a social media influencer, to run a counterfeit luxury handbag business.
