Genesis fans slam telenovela
@MaabuleM said:
"Our writers are failing 80% of the time. They can give you 1-2 great seasons but end up destroying the whole thing. People get tired and annoyed with the same storyline and dragging."
@Hyaceebo responded:
"This one was amongst the top 5 of the worst ones."
@khuthi_R reacted:
"What a terrible ending with Mickey Mouse writing and a total waste of our time as the viewers you continuously take for granted. Good riddance to nonsense.
@Mthombeni_Fikeh wrote:
"Wendy carried this show throughout. She poured her heart. Oh, poor Mmarona, she didn't have a break njalo bekhala."
@SadyMhotsha said:
"What a dizzy ending, like Mmarona and Bonko couldn't get married and carry on with the legacy? The writers should cringe at their scripts."

"Which is unfair to the cast, because a lot of them can act. Nxn."

@Penelope_Mph0 said:
"The writers had to kill everyone? Like our laws? Ai, so the story ends when the characters die? There is no grand finale that leaves us gasping? Ohk!"
