El internado

Nothing is as it seems at the school called "Laguna Negra". Mysteries, secret organizations, murders, love, passion, conflicts, need for justice, lies but most importantly the power of friendship and solidarity are the things that you will encounter if you watch "El Internado". With every new season we start to see a much bigger picture and conspiracy that reveals the true selves of each of the characters.

I have watched all of the episodes of El Internado and I must say it is a show worth watching. It is quite thrilling and dramatic, even funny at the right moments. The characters and story lines are very well developed and the plot twists are sometimes so unexpected that the viewer is never left with "oh, this episode was a waste of time".

The main story involves the lives of the sixteen-year-old Carolina, Ivan, Vicky, Julia, Roque and Marcos who accidentally start uncovering information about horrible crimes that have happened in the school years ago. Soon they find that their investigations endanger their lives but despite of their fear, they are too involved in the events to just return to their normal lives.

The school staff also has an important role in the story, one that reveals itself in time. The waves of secrets do not miss the children in the show as well – Marcos's curious five-year-old sister Paula and her best friend Evelyn who are always in the middle of a mischief. It is always a joy to watch those two girls find themselves into trouble!

My favorite actors from the series are Yon González who plays the arrogant and rebellious Ivan Noiret and Blanca Suárez (currently playing in the series "El Barco"), portraying the provocative and beautiful Julia Medina. The whole cast is incredible, though, and I hope to see more of them on screen.

Excellent, I just wish I could find it with English subtitles. My Spanish is limited and I'm sure I missed some of the subtleties.

That said it is still excellently written, acted and directed. With a plot that twists and turns.

Although based in a boarding school, the plot is suitable for adults.

A good drama, thriller, mystery and romance. Whoever you think is a goodie at the beginning is probably a baddie and vice versa. One of the episodes is entitled "everyone has secrets" something so true and the writers are not frightened to kill off characters. The final episode had me in tears.

The cool thing about this show is that it doesn't leave you waiting very long for something to happen. I think its very well written.

I don't know but something about it just made me want to send a package with Mailboxes Etc, drink sheep's milk, buy a Toshiba Computer and Rat Poison.

But seriously its fun to watch for me because i know some spanish but not enough to do without subtitles. I think they only say 'vale' in spain.

Being an English speaking couple only, choosing to watch a Spanish 7 season show wasn't what we envisioned doing. But after I had watched two episodes I decided I needed to start it over with my wife also watching. Episode after episode we grew more involved with the characters, which focuses more on the group of kids ranging from 17 to 6 or 7. The twists involved in this well written plot are pure addictive. Watching what we have seen so far (seasons 1-6) has taken us through so many emotions, it came to be all we thought about and couldn't wait to get back on Netflix to continue the drama. One regret is we should have counted just how many times Paula and her friend Evelyn hugged, it was cute and heart-warming. Though there were cheesy moments at times and so many stupid decisions or reactions that left us yelling at the characters, the twists in the writing made us speechless at times. We would recommend to anyone that has Netflix give it a chance. Even though we don't understand any Spanish, we also found that having the volume down didn't work for us, we needed the music, the tone and emotion in their voices. We don't know what season 7 will bring, and don't want it to end. The finale for season 6 is still sinking in, so dramatic.

Something evil is happening in the hidden passageways under the remote, exclusive Black Lagoon Boarding School. (You'd think the name would tip people off, wouldn't you?) A group of intrepid Spanish high schoolers risk their lives to investigate three decades' worth of mayhem.

The tone veers from suspense to sentimentality, from dramedy to melodrama. The plot twists are certainly complicated, to the point where they're a bit much after a while -- how much evildoing can possibly go on in one school? But as teen adventure serials go, it's pretty addictive.

A friend from Spain showed me a few episodes because he knows I like some of the actors in the cast: the wonderful Amparo Baró, formerly of "Siete vidas"; the versatile Luis Merlo, formerly of "Aquí no hay quien viva"; and singer/dancer/actress Natalia Millán, formerly of "Un paso adelante," who also starred on stage in the 2005-2006 Spanish revival of "Cabaret." The actors who play the kids, none of whom I'd heard of before, are also fantastic.
