It is hard to explain what this is about. It starts weird and ends even more weird... But I need to know what is going to happen... As always Alex de la Iglesia does a great job to surprise the audience and in this case you end up saying "what the heck just happened?" If you like weird and extremely original series this one is for you. I really like the actors by the way, for the Spanish audience they are pretty recognizable.

Plot holes abound but damn if the storyline isn't compelling. Just ignore how contrived it can be and you'll have a good time.

Also, little nitpick here, it feels as if the show has chosen the wrong main character. Clearly the most interesting person in the series is the Priest Manuel. With a dark past and plenty of secrets he's a solid type for the spotlight. But somehow he's the side character?? It's really weird. Makes the show feels off. Like I'm just watching a bunch a secondary characters try and carry the plot along while the main character just sits there and does nothing.

Anyway, still entertaining.

First scene disappoints me a lot. Afterwards interest increases and makes it worth the watch. Good staff of actors and the world Alex de la Iglesia has previously shown is entirely on display here. Even there's some resemblance or homage to other films he shot in the past.

Another intense horror intrigue suspense movie from Alex de la Iglesia. It reminds me of El día de la Bestia. Really good. Waiting to see what happens next!!

First half of series 1 had good potential. The last 3 nonsensical episodes= Bad.. Truly! My 30 coins worth.
