El internado

I tend to like shows that are centered around unraveling a mystery with just a touch of creepiness woven in. This show seemed to hit the spot, though it ended up being much more of a convoluted drama than I had anticipated. Turns out it is addictive too. It is a bit ridiculous at times.. and a bit cheesy.. but highly entertaining. As a bonus I have picked up some bits of Spanish (I've never even taken a Spanish class).Nothing terribly useful though, but now I do know how to tell someone they are lying to me, call them a liar or say I don't believe them. (There is so much lying going on in this show that I actually learned multiple ways to express or deal with lying in Spanish).I keep thinking that if people just told the truth, it would shave off about 5 seasons worth of content. Of course, what is the fun in that? Despite the flaws, I am thoroughly enjoying this show at the moment.

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.

Yes.... it's on Netflix and with English subtitles!!!!!!!!!!!! Well worth watching from the first episode. Great for binge watching. The plot merits such viewing, and being so addictive, you will find it hard to stop or take a break. The acting is superb from everybody. One has to sustain disbelief, not think too much about things: should one not be seeing more students? Should not the faculty be larger? Shouldn't there be more servants? Ultimately, these questions do not matter as suspense and intrigue is built with what one gets without need for extras. This is a very engaging series and very enjoyable to watch several episodes together.

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.

Once again another amazing show from Netflix international. I wanted to binge watch this show just like (Winter Sun - Kis Günesi (TV Series 2016). These two shows are unlike anything I have seen. Amazing Acting, Amazing storyline. The cast well what can I say but superb acting, especially the two busy body little girls. I wish this was a series that had at least 15 years worth of seasons. I can watch and watch this show. Now I have to see if I can buy this on a DVD set or not. I couldn't find Winter Sun available but I would love to have these as a purchase. They are worth the watch and for me to have. I can't talk about the show, you should watch it.I love that this show as well as Winter Sun does not let you know what is about to happen. I like being kept in suspense. Writer, Producer and Director, Amazing work and the Award goes to you all. I so love you in the series Raúl Fernández de Pablo, it so hurt my heart. muchísimas gracias!
