When I saw the giant bugs, I was immediately reminded of Starship Troopers. I later found out that The Eternaut most likely inspired Starship Troopers, as it was released two years prior (1957 vs 1959). In Starship Troopers, the protagonist is from Buenos Aires and he fights giant bugs. In The Eternaut, the setting is in Buenos Aires, and the protagonist fights giant bugs! Also, the author of Starship Troopers, Robert Heinlein is from Montana. Omar in the Eternaut Netflix show said he used to live in Montana. Coincidence? I think not.
Now, to the actual review. The show is a great adaptation of one of the old sci-fis in the 50s era. It has suspense, mystery, and wonder. You won't regret watching it. If you're a fan of Starship Troopers, you can't miss it!
