Alma

Well written and picturizationio, story is littel bit new, actors did well , views and effects are great.. Great mystery with horror effects. Waiting for next season.

This should have been 4 episodes, not 9. The story drags and most of the time is drama instead of horror. Characters were well developed though due to all these drama scenes.

That said, this serial is trying too hard to be everything but ends up being a bit confusing with too many mystery plots, some uneccesary. Picking one of the stories to focus on would already be good enough.

It's still watchable, as its different than the usual stuff on Netflix, just have your finger on fast forward for drama (soap like) scenes.

I was hook from moment one through to the end, a captivating and well made series. The storylines had a few twists and beautifully weaved through past and present. Acting was good and characters had depth.

This drew me in from the very first episode. I love how the beginning of each episode goes back to a story of the legend. It's crazy how quickly things go so horribly wrong for so many, yet staying mysterious to keep you guessing! The fact that there's a history of family secrets doesn't help the process of any of them. The actors and actresses done a wonderful job for being so young. Seriously very impressed with this show and certainly can not wait for another season! Actually I'm pretty sure the writers could write a couple more seasons by adding more plot twists! Definitely glad I watched the first season!

This Spanish series opens with a group of students are enjoying a school trip in the mountains. As they head home the coach they are travelling encounters dense fog on a winding road. Something goes wrong and the coach crashes; many of the students are killed. One of the survivors is Alma, a girl who after the accident has amnesia. She has no memory of family of friends but has a feeling that something is wrong. This includes her seeing ghostlike apparitions. There is more talk of the supernatural as a friend's grandfather talks of an ancient myths involving a demon that possesses those close to death.

I though this series got off to a great start. We are effectively introduced to key characters before the main story gets underway. There is a great sense of dread as they head through the fog. Following the accident there is the question of who will have survived and just what has happened to them. Things do slow down a bit during the middle of the series but pick up again with some interesting twists as we approach the denouement. The locations, in Asturias region of Spain are great, they add a great sense of atmosphere; beautiful in a rugged way, one could easily believe strange things might happen there. The cast is solid; in particular Mireia Oriol who plays Alma. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to anybody looking for an interesting chiller.
