A new disaster series on Netflix has been causing quite a stir among viewers. Despite some mixed reactions, it has quickly become the most watched show on the streaming platform. The series, called La Palma, follows a Norwegian family who is vacationing on the Spanish island when a young researcher discovers warning signs of an impending volcanic eruption. Created by Martin Sundland, the show features a talented cast including Thea Sofie Loch Næss, Anders Baasmo Christiansen, and Ingrid Bolsø Berdal.
The first episode begins with a terrifying incident on a boat that claims the lives of tourists. The family, consisting of Fredrik, Jennifer, and their children Sara and Tobias, arrive on the island just a few days later. However, their holiday quickly turns into a fight for survival as they, along with the rest of the island's inhabitants, face the threat of a volcanic eruption and a possible tsunami. The tension only escalates as the researchers, Marie and Haukur, struggle to convince the authorities to take action before it's too late.
While the series has gained a lot of attention, it has also divided viewers. Some have criticized the show for being too cheesy and unrealistic, with bad acting and far-fetched scenarios. Madison, a viewer on Rotten Tomatoes, gave it a rating of 30% and said, "Seemed like it was going to be a good disaster series... until you start watching it." Mark also shared his disappointment, saying, "Acting and overdubbing [are] very poor, scenes cheap and nasty and the plot cringe worthy." Luigi even went as far as to say, "Life is too precious to waste it watching this thing."
Despite these negative reviews, there are also those who were pleasantly surprised by the series. Polina praised the show for its writing, direction, and important message about climate change. Nara also enjoyed it, saying, "What a fantastic TV show! It's really well written and keeps you on the edge all the time." Corrine binge-watched the entire season in one night and called it "very binge-worthy." She did, however, mention that the ending was a bit unbelievable.
While the extreme disaster scenes in the show may seem far-fetched, there is actually an active volcano on the Canary Islands, just like the one depicted in La Palma. In fact, in 2021, the volcano erupted and caused widespread destruction, resulting in thousands of people being evacuated.
La Palma is currently streaming on Netflix and has received a lot of attention for its intense storyline and talented cast.
