Koel Kop, Warm Hart

Astrid, an autistic woman with a brilliant mind who works in the judicial police's library, helps Commander Raphaelle solve the most complex cases.

When Commander Raphaëlle Coste visits the police records bureau, she has no idea that she is about to have a life-changing encounter.

The brilliant but unsettling young Astrid is autistic and a living encyclopedia of criminal investigations.

She has Asperger's, which makes her very original and rather finicky in some situations.

When she gives Raphaëlle a helping hand, the two realise that their perfectly complementary skills are the key to solving cases, despite or even because of their differences.

The original French title of the series is Astrid et Raphaëlle, also known in the English dub as Bright Minds.

In the series premiere, "Puzzle": Commander Raphaelle Coste visits the police records bureau and meets the brilliant but unsettling young Astrid, who gives her a helping hand.

He wants a house with easy access to work, space for roommates and a garage for his motorcycles.

TX Time: 19h30
Genre: Drama

Isifiso 2

After finally getting the life she always wanted, Bazothini (Nelisa Mchunu) finds herself in a fight she never expected – a fight for her husband Mhlengi (Ntando Mncube).

New character Nokwanda (played by Linda Mtoba) is set to rock Bazothini's world, alongside other new cast members including Ntandazo Mndayi (Gomora) and Thandeka Qwabe (Isibaya).

Last season, after Julia (Zinhle Mabena) told Siboniso (Melusi Yeni) that it was Bazothini who killed his wife - her sister, Nobuhle (Mbalenhle Mthembu) - Bazothini turned the tables on Julia, leaving Siboniso to think that it was Julia who was the murderer.

Bazothini had to take it a step further in order to complete her plan, pushing Julia down the stairs like she did Nobuhle.

True to form, Bazothini frames her brother-in-law Siboniso for Julia's death.

Thinking her golden days are yet to come, and with all her efforts, can she get away with these murders?

Having fought to get up from under her younger sister Nobuhle's shadow, who is now torturing her from beyond the grave, Bazothini is betrayed by the one person she trusts more than anyone on Earth: her husband, Mhlengi.

But this betrayal comes with double jeopardy: it can either unite or divide the new power couple whose solutions often end in tragedy.

This season, we will learn that one wrong move can quickly turn even the best-laid plans into a nightmare.

In the Season 2 premiere: Bazothini is strangled by Nobuhle in a dream, Mhlengi gives Bazothini a car to hide his guilt and Mangobese refuses to work at Thenga Konke.
