After all the build-up - it hasn't started on time! .. it's 20h00 and nothing yet.

Tashi
01 Dec 2014 20:02

Ooooh it's started ...

The new opening sequence is very different from the previous one ... there's good vibe in the music.

The scene opens on a funeral with Karabo in a funeral hair.

Royal Child

okay so far

Tashi
01 Dec 2014 20:06

I'm wondering what the old fired actors are up to right this moment ... they must feel very betrayed by the new ones.

We're back to the funeral and the unveiling of Paul Moroka's tombstone with lots of emo music in the background.

Royal Child
01 Dec 2014 20:12

Music is still the same during the scenes

This new generations looks like some low budget lokshin bioskop drama.

So confused right now...I cannot believe I am watching Generations, the last time I watched was in November 2011. So curious to see how this goes

Sobza

Sobza
01 Dec 2014 20:27

It will take time for them to gain lost ground. These ain't good at all

yOnGaMa
01 Dec 2014 20:34

M so disappointed... I donno wht the hooha was for. OTau bathyale izfuba... so predictable n BORING! So not even a mention of the fired cast... it's a Moroka do not 1 word abt Queen.

yOnGaMa
01 Dec 2014 20:38

So far so BAD!

02 Dec 2014 07:41

I thought Tau was dead, thats how his charecter ended. Generation Legacy is boring

gugulethu72
02 Dec 2014 07:56

I think it will get interesting....i like the different approach and also the starting...i feel that we watched it comparing it with the old but it doesnt work like that...this is a different thing...i for one am sold so will keep watching...i have a feeling its gon get interesting with time...remember soapies take time to warm up...unlike the likes of Saints and Sinners which are short dramas and they start with a bang because of their short duration...i say lets give it time and a few more episodes...

gugulethu72
02 Dec 2014 07:57

@angel93 Tau was dead or rather presumed dead then he came back and we were told he ddnt die after all, that's when he married Karabo and they moved to London...so in the end he wasnt dead...

Manicure
02 Dec 2014 07:58

soooooooooo bad!!!!!!!!!!!!

gugulethu72
02 Dec 2014 08:12

The only person who ddnt do it for me was Mazwi's mother...she was always lurking in a corner and she speaks too loud...otherwise imma continue watching...

Lokshin Biskop?????reallly people??????

Generations or The Legecy. which one do you prefer watching? Id say Generations not the Legecy...... Bathong, bring back Skeem Saam at 8, not into this new Generations at all

Sbam
02 Dec 2014 08:34

I never really like skeemsaam, so I've been waiting for Generations. My Opinion, it is still early days, and will see how the story unfolds. The thing that impressed me though is the new faces, I'm so sick and tired of this of these sopies, using same actors all the time. At least others are now given a chance to prove their craft.

tinyG
02 Dec 2014 08:44

Come on guys let's give credit where its due, last night's episode was epic,the unveiling was glamorous and smooth . I feel that the story lines were introduced very nicely because now we know mazwi the handsome young man with a beautiful wife to be is a loan shark who was raised by his mother, Lucy is gangsta and her family runs a shebeen business ,there's bad blood between tau and gaddafi, the list of interesting stories is endless, and I can't wait to see what's gonna happen next. Well done to the actors everyone was on point and well done to mr vundla .

gugulethu72
02 Dec 2014 08:57

@ tinyG thank you for that...i wish i could like you comment a million times....i loved the first episode and will defo keep watching....

hey my pips
i love it last night storyline and new charectors A BIG UOP TO BRA MFUNDI
Poor picture quality at the cemenrty no green grass like cpt krkrkr Jhb is very dry bathong,

so every1 is Archie's son, i thnk i can be Thami Ngubeni, ( Archie Moroka's daughter) krkrkr hope u ladies still remember her she used to be on Generations
guguletu, nam sana i am with u Mazwi's mom not sure if she is a Zulu or Xhosa her lines are bit off u cant mix isiXhosa ne SiZulu please make up you mind.

qaqamba
02 Dec 2014 10:39

and guys wht ive noticed last nite Bra Mfundi is very angry , he is not a type of person who can give u 2nd chance whn u do wrong to him, he will distroy u like tht,, the CHOPPA, MAMRUBY,JASON, SENZO,KHETHIWE ETC those charectors are DEAD TO HIM, and viewers we wont even recognise them in the street

Creeper
02 Dec 2014 10:48

Low budget footage, lack of yummy eye candy, weak and predictible story lines but more importantly they failed to answer the question: 2 years after WHAT?!?!? Is it set 1998? Why only Smanga? What about Noah and the sister? They are also Morokas they have more right than Angela and Jonathan to be at the unveiling??? Why was Smanga raised by Karabo and not Zoleka the mother??? How can Mazwi claim to be Archie's son? A photo is not proof. I think Thato's baby mama came up with the weak story lines on purpose

qaqamba
02 Dec 2014 11:24

Creeper , krkrkrkrr just give it sometime mann it will be fine,it was just a 1st episode.

portcia

now i think people do understand that this was a new Generations Legacy everything was supposed to start afresh.Most people are fooled by the graphigs.They were expecting to see continuers program.i hope now you do understand that this is the Generations The Legacy.People i hope now you are getting used to it.I know most fo you dont want to agree with me.But once you watch this generation,you feel like it dont have to end.There is always a reason to make you come back.

those who are talking about skeem sam,really they dont konw between drama and a soapie.to me skeem sam is still a drama ant hey have to give their best shot.Mark my words once skeem sam goes off air and come with new cast.Believe me guys you are going to feel the same way you feel about Generations the legacy now.It is not because it is boring or was boring,it is a matter of getting used to new characters and graphigs.
Salute to Generetions the Legacy.
