I'm a fan of sci-fi films, especially those with horror elements, mysterious entities, and post-apocalyptic worlds. I truly appreciate this TV series. Of course, it has its flaws, but overall, it's a prime example of the kind of series Hollywood has almost forgotten how to make. It starts with three very clear phases: before the disaster, when the disaster strikes, and the aftermath - where ambiguous details slowly emerge for the audience to interpret and explore.
It's only six episodes long, yet it manages to clarify so much, unlike many shows that waste an entire season going nowhere. Hollywood still seems to believe audiences have the patience for those outdated storytelling styles, or worse, they create shows that skip a proper beginning altogether, jumping mid-story and growing increasingly confusing. Some series even rely so heavily on flashbacks that viewers can't tell what's present and what's past anymore.
Netflix, in recent years, hasn't created any series with similar qualities. Most of their shows feel incomplete, with too many plot holes. It seems like they've lost the ability to produce content like this - content that is clearly in short supply right now.
I highly value this series and will definitely seek out the original novel to satisfy my curiosity. The Argentinian filmmakers have taken the right path, and I hope South American creators continue producing similar series. Because the market desperately needs them - no fluff, just a well-structured story that doesn't try to trick the audience with pretentious plot twists. Just apocalypse and survival. That's it!
