L'éternaute

This series is a historic milestone for television, as it brings to the screen for the first time one of the most iconic works in Argentine comic history: El Eternauta. Created by Héctor Germán Oesterheld and Francisco Solano López, this story has left a lasting mark on generations with its powerful metaphor about resistance, solidarity, and collective struggle in the face of adversity.

Over time, El Eternauta has never been forgotten; on the contrary, its message remains as relevant as ever. Now, thanks to this production, it will be immortalized for new audiences. With its carefully crafted setting, high-quality effects, and a dedicated cast, the series not only pays tribute to the original work but also introduces it to the world.

This is an ambitious project that we hope succeeds globally-not only for its artistic value but for the depth of its message. A story that began as a comic now becomes a powerful audiovisual symbol of identity and memory, lets pray for a season 2.

I'm afraid this reviews are completely biased. Argentinian folks are crazy fanatics about any cultural product they do and they're brigading to keep the stars up. I understand the love they have for the comic book, since The Eternaut is a book you can find in most homes and it's recommended for kids early in their lives. This adaptation is really good and that's it. It's not a "masterpiece" as some reviews are depicting it. Actors are expectedly fine; Ricardo Darin and Cesar Troncoso steal the show as usual.

I hope Netflix keeps founding LatAm projects, since is proven that great products can be made here.

I read the comic as a child and then reread it as an adult, and let me tell you, this Netflix adaptation is much better than I expected.

Darin doesn't disappoint, and the rest of the cast is up to par. The effects are excellent, and the setting and filmmaking are also very well done.

While some key points differ from the original story, it's understandable given the complexity of adapting it to our times, but I didn't notice any unforgivable flaws in the script.

Overall, I really liked it. At times, it seemed a bit slow, but it's still enjoyable. A series that entertains without resorting to clichés.

Breathtaking high quality show A big RARE from NETLFIX.

I just wanna say that , people really need to not compare this show to other shows are already came out like The last of us or the walking dead or fallout. First of all comparing kills the joy and ruin the experience, secondly, this show is based on comic that come out between 1957-1959 so its very old , and surly not based on a generic story taken of or rip of from another shows or movies like what I'm seeing people says, it's not based on metro games also, so people need to give this a proper chance and not just hate on it. This has a one of best visual and world building dystopian ever, and clearly Netflix really invested in the show as I heard they shoot this show on more than 30 locations, and not to forget the top class cast and incredible story.

Totally recommend.

A bit of context for American folks: You're used to seeing sci-fi productions set in your own towns. Your industry is huge-Hollywood, whether through independent or commercial films, has explored every movie genre there is. But for us Argentinians, sci-fi is a largely unexplored genre, and large-scale productions like this are extremely rare.

El Eternauta is an adaptation of a 1957 graphic novel. In this part of the world, you don't usually see major apocalyptic events happening on our soil-every alien in the universe tends to invade the first world first. But in El Eternauta, the catastrophe happens right here. That's why it's so compelling and special for us to see the streets of Buenos Aires covered in toxic snow (it has only snowed twice here in the last 100 years!) or our local buses overturned by giant beetles.

And please, don't watch it dubbed.

Much respect to dubbing actors, but every show or movie feels less authentic when dubbed. Subtitles don't hurt, seriously. We've been reading them for years and it really changes the experience.

That being said-WOW!

I didn't know we had this level of FX and makeup artists in my country! The costume design, the effects, the production design, the makeup, the script-it's all incredible. I couldn't be prouder. Amazing performances, amazing storytelling. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen for even a second. I was nervous, totally immersed in the story-and that's a rare feeling to have while sitting in your own living room.

The acting was excellent, with just a couple of exceptions. For example, Carla Peterson-I've seen her in many TV comedies, but she doesn't quite work for drama, in my opinion. Her delivery didn't feel natural. But the rest of the cast? Outstanding! I loved seeing both familiar faces and completely new ones.

I also read that El Eternauta was filmed using StageCraft (the same production technology used by Lucasfilm for The Mandalorian). There are only three studios in the world with that technology-and one of them is just a few blocks away.. That makes me even prouder.

In short: an amazing and incredible show. I can't wait for the next season!
