La Palma

A Norwegian family arrive for a holiday on The Island of La Palma, their visit coincides with worrying activity at the Volcano. Scientist, Marie predicts a disaster, but The Authorities refuse to take her warning seriously.

It's quite difficult to give this series a general score, I've settled on a six, and based it on averages, one and two are decent, three is good, unfortunately the forth episode is a shocker, it wasn't good.

Nicely acted, no issues with the acting, or the visuals, at times it looks very good, the third episode in particular looked fine, and some great location work as you'd expect.

I have mixed opinions about the family and their story, sometimes the dynamic was interesting, it became a bit silly in the woeful final episode.

Now, episode four, I can't review without commenting on it, absolutely ridiculous, almost nonsensical, at times it just felt daft, Day After tomorrow on steroids.

It's worth seeing, just don't expect to be wowed.

6/10.

I liked so much of this. The scenery and cinematography were brilliant, as were the standard of animations, which felt very real. The intensity was non-stop as at some stage it just flicks on a switch and then never let's you go. I binged it all as I couldn't stop watching.

The thing that is really bizarre to me were the small plot holes, and silly teen romance which feels a bit childish, and slightly discredits what is an otherwise solid piece of television. I don't know why they did that as at some parts I found myself practically tutting at the screen. There are a few other nonsense moments, but if you can overlook that 10%, it is still brilliant.

Genuinely, a really enjoyable watch, and I would recommend it to anyone. I actually felt a bit guilty only giving this a 7/10 because if it wasn't for those small icks it could probably be an 8 or more. Merry Christmas!

It felt like the producers were so desperate to give it a good ending that they forgot what makes a good disaster themed series great. Some characters took dumb decisions yet didn't die at the end. Few characters got saved in a way which is not even realistically possible in situation like that. So a lot of questionable decisions they took at the climax which didn't go in the favor of the drama. I enjoyed the other episodes though. Skipped a few parts. VFX was stunning. But definitely a good one time watch. Good for the producers that they didnt drag it too much and ended with 4 episodes. That kept the screenplay as griping as possible for the viewers.

Okay we have a great series here finally " IF YOU ARE OPENMINDED " you can enjoy something with your family coming to pros first - First of all as a limited series and that too not so anticipating series it has really really great VFX, I mean I was shocked that they outdid this job from many main studios , second the thrill and pace of the series it was fast and medium not slow so you gonna like it.

Not so many adult scenes kissing between 2 girls which was not necessary thou but yeah no problem I mean they in these time it's mandatory now idk why

Coming to bad or I should say dumb part - In many scenes I feel like the characters are the dumbest being on that whole island , I mean many accidents could be avoided but I think they deliberately chose that , but I think that's somewhat necessary 🤣😭 or the series could be finished in an hour.

But these bad points can be easily ignored.

Overall it's a great series if you wanna watch it with your friends and family , the camera work , VFX, the location all are great and good adventure series that is wrapped up in 4 episodes so you don't have to wait years to finish that up

In short go for it you will surely enjoy it. For me I enjoyed it a lot NETFLIX should make more family friendly thriller series like these.

This movie is about a natural disaster that takes place in the island of La Palma, the title of this show. It follows a family of four and their journey of survival/death through this disaster. Our protagonists contain the husband and wife, along with their two children, all of whom are fighting battles of their own. Will they be able to battle against Mother Nature and survive against all odds? I would recommend watching this limited series to find out.

I liked the overall screenplay which makes it a very gripping story to watch. The VFX effects are quite good too, but I think it could have been better. I would recommend watching this at least once.
