The Eternaut

Really good. Voiceovers don’t take away from the show at all. There’s been so many flops with apocalypse themed shows in recent years…not this oneWorth the watch

Adapting El Eternauta, one of the most important comics in Argentine history, was no easy task—let alone turning it into a series without losing its essence. But Netflix’s version largely pulls it off. Not perfectly, but with ambition, respect for the source material, and technical quality that’s a pleasure to watch. Visually, it’s strong, the special effects more than do their job, and the apocalyptic tone is effectively established from the first episode.Ricardo Darín is, as expected, outstanding. He not only carries the story with ease, but also brings humanity and strength to a character facing extreme circumstances while remaining believable. Around him, everything works: the atmosphere is oppressive when it needs to be, the supporting cast has weight, and the direction shows genuine affection for the original work. It’s clear that Stagnaro didn’t just want to adapt the comic—he wanted to create something that speaks to the present without betraying the past.

Good dramatic tension, warm characters, well rounded friendships, and with a mystery at the core.
