The post-apocalyptic subgenre of sci-fi has gotten a big boost in recent years, notably with the Apple TV+ breakout Silo. But other streaming services have explored what a dystopian wasteland would look like, albeit with a lighter touch. That's been the case with Prime Video's Fallout, which garnered awards buzz and topped the streaming charts. Both shows are returning for additional seasons, buoyed by the audience interest they've garnered.

Netflix is well-positioned to put its stamp on the genre. The streaming platform releases hundreds of new shows each year, in several different languages. As proven by Squid Game, a title that debuts relatively quietly has a solid chance of breaking out and finding an audience. That looks to be what's happening now with a new Spanish-language drama that's winning over viewers and critics.
