Benvenuti a Eden

I'm not sure why some rated this so low. It's got a great build with character stories, and it leaves you in suspense. It's not necessarily high action, but definitely worth watching. Looking forward to the next season!

Welcome To Eden: Young adults get invited to a festival to launch of a new drink at a secret island location. But of the 100 who attend, 5 will not leave. A cult runs the island, they worship Mother Nature but aren't above using the latest surveillance technology to enforce strict obedience. A rather dark conspiracy thriller in which layer after layer is gradually revealed. Some rather graphic violent scenes. This is very much an adult series. The idea isn't new but this is an interesting iteration. Created & Written by Joaquín Górriz and Guillermo López Sánchez. Directed by Menna Fité and Daniel Benmayor. Eight episodes on Netflix. 7/10.

Some poor reviews here. I don't know why. The story is interesting and mysterious, the characters are attractive, the acting is good. I'm up to episode 6 and keen to find out what happens, so the production team have clearly got a few things right!

Yes I watched all episodes in one go. I almost abandoned it on episode 3. Because there are so many characters, they look and sound the same. I persevered because...curiosity.

I wish I hadn't.

This show reminded of SEVERED. SEVERED pulled the same trick.

This is a new annoying trend in series land.

Create a mysterious setting. Create a mysterious motive. Have the viewer out of breath anticipating the big reveal...and then don't answer even one question .

WAIT FOR SEASON TWO, FOLKS!!!

Pathetic.

This title gets a lot of bad reviews but most of the reviews on IMDB come from Americans and I often noticed that they always give bad reviews to what is not an American production, while they give a lot of stars to those stupid, childish, horrible super heros movies like Captain America, a real garbage. American movies have become unwatchable and I'm happy that on Netflix I can watch a lot of cool movies. Most of them from Spain, some from France and a few from other countries. Anyway, let's go back to Eden: Beautiful picture, nice costume, nice cast, not a bad acting at all, intriguing plot. Probably if you are young, a party goer or loving exotic islands or also loving psychedelic, you will enjoy it even more. Keep in mind that I'm 75 and I loved it anyway. If you are a close mind family person, living in some small conservative town, maybe this movie is not for you.
