SPECIAL: As pedestrian as teen dramas may seem to the rest of the world, it is a refreshing change to have a South African drama that features teenagers and isn’t a public service announcement about HIV and Aids, alcohol abuse, teenage pregnancy and all the other societal ills the collective loves to moan about. Blood & Water also makes an effort to feature a gay character without centring that character’s story on the overt and sometimes latent homophobia they experience on a daily basis.
