La Palma

Having some real-life examples, this could have been an intriguing story of a tsunami. Instead we need manufactiured drama on top of manufactured drama for no other reason than to irritate the viewer.

The main protagonist family PURPOSELY separated from each other about 8 times. The first time okay, second maybe, but the remaining times made zero sense outside of creating false tension. I really wanted that whole family dead, including the child because of their stupidity.

Other stupidity, let's sit here on a beach AFTER the tsunami has started. Let's leave the safety of my family to run in danger to save someone that said 'hi' to me yesterday. Let's continue our vacation AFTER a plane crash caused by a volcano.

Scientists, doctors, engineers, politicians, tourist were the dumbest people ever. I wanted all of them dea.

Okay we have a great series here finally " IF YOU ARE OPENMINDED " you can enjoy something with your family coming to pros first - First of all as a limited series and that too not so anticipating series it has really really great VFX, I mean I was shocked that they outdid this job from many main studios , second the thrill and pace of the series it was fast and medium not slow so you gonna like it.

Not so many adult scenes kissing between 2 girls which was not necessary thou but yeah no problem I mean they in these time it's mandatory now idk why

Coming to bad or I should say dumb part - In many scenes I feel like the characters are the dumbest being on that whole island , I mean many accidents could be avoided but I think they deliberately chose that , but I think that's somewhat necessary 🤣😭 or the series could be finished in an hour.

But these bad points can be easily ignored.

Overall it's a great series if you wanna watch it with your friends and family , the camera work , VFX, the location all are great and good adventure series that is wrapped up in 4 episodes so you don't have to wait years to finish that up

In short go for it you will surely enjoy it. For me I enjoyed it a lot NETFLIX should make more family friendly thriller series like these.

It felt like the producers were so desperate to give it a good ending that they forgot what makes a good disaster themed series great. Some characters took dumb decisions yet didn't die at the end. Few characters got saved in a way which is not even realistically possible in situation like that. So a lot of questionable decisions they took at the climax which didn't go in the favor of the drama. I enjoyed the other episodes though. Skipped a few parts. VFX was stunning. But definitely a good one time watch. Good for the producers that they didnt drag it too much and ended with 4 episodes. That kept the screenplay as griping as possible for the viewers.

Firstly please do not take this mini series seriously. It is however highly entertaining even with one of the most ridiculous storylines ever. The actors are so wooden they are in danger of catching fire from the erupting volcano. There is also the ridiculous amounts of created drama that serve no purpose whatsoever to the storyline. The special effects are one of the few better points of the series but as for the ending it really is a case of "You couldn't make it up". If you do choose to watch follow this advice for your own safety. Please remove your brain and leave in a safe place for a minimum of three hours.

A Norwegian family arrive for a holiday on The Island of La Palma, their visit coincides with worrying activity at the Volcano. Scientist, Marie predicts a disaster, but The Authorities refuse to take her warning seriously.

It's quite difficult to give this series a general score, I've settled on a six, and based it on averages, one and two are decent, three is good, unfortunately the forth episode is a shocker, it wasn't good.

Nicely acted, no issues with the acting, or the visuals, at times it looks very good, the third episode in particular looked fine, and some great location work as you'd expect.

I have mixed opinions about the family and their story, sometimes the dynamic was interesting, it became a bit silly in the woeful final episode.

Now, episode four, I can't review without commenting on it, absolutely ridiculous, almost nonsensical, at times it just felt daft, Day After tomorrow on steroids.

It's worth seeing, just don't expect to be wowed.

6/10.
