O Internato: Las Cumbres

Can't wait for next season, strong actors, good story. Not watched the original so didn't have any preconceived ideas. Keeps you hooked, not for younger viewers.

Before anything, I want to point out that I hope people don't get put off because of the 6.5 rating. It's a great show compared to the latest teens/young adult tv shows we have been getting in the last 4/5 years...

I didn't know there was an original and this is a remake when I watched it and tt's by no mean the best greatest most incredible tv show I've ever watched in my life, but the script is actually good and the story with the characters are something you'd look forward to follow and explore more about in every episode and scene. It has the right amount of each genre in it without one taking over the other.

What I most loved about this show beside the script is the actors and actress who played the students, they really played their characters well, you'd eventually even like and maybe get attached to the side and supporting characters in the show, that is how good everyone were.

The characters aren't super annoying or clueless to the point you'd hate them, but they aren't super rightful or knowledgeable either to the point you'd also hate them. A good mixture of everything with a middle ground I'd say.

At a finally note I'd just highly recommend watching this tv show with subtitles, not dubbing because as I said, the actors plays a big part in actually delivering the story and the plot.

Ignore the negative reviews.

There is a lot of nitpicky reviews about this show. Since I never saw the original series I can only comment on the five episodes I have watched.

The acting is overall good and there is a foreboding that seems to pervade each scene.

The setting and filming is very atmospheric. Clearly the director has a clear vision of the setting and the story.

One thing I think that is well done and clever is that there are no bright colors only drab colors that enhance the pervading atmospheric gloom of this mysterious school.

My only quibble is that the characters while watchable are not likable - don't know if was the way they were written or the actors portraying them. - so it's hard to root for them as they seek to learn the secret about their school.

Overall, I'm gonna give this 8 stars - as each episode has been a fun watch. Watch it in Spanish with English subtitles

It's a good show for teens with a good concept and pretty good directed and acted, but maybe too slow in some parts. You probably will finish it to know what's happening but overall is just decent

I've watched the original El Internado Laguna Negra. This reboot has a good premise and promise. The issues I take with this iteration are mainly the Ines character and her storyline. This character and the plot around her drag this show down considerably. The character has an excessively blank personality even for an amnesiac. I remember the original El Internado fondly, the group in that show were all fun to watch. Only a couple of the kids are interesting in this show. I will definitely watch a second season and hope the sophomore year improves in plotting as well as the acting and characterization of Ines.
