So I'd normally give this a 7,5 ranking but bumping it up to try and make up a bit for the completely unnecessary hate this show is getting. Is it because the original is in Spanish? Because the story idea is intriguing, if not brand new, the acting is solid and believeable, casting choices are spot on, the plot unravels at a steady pace, with always another intriguing mystery just ahead, so far no plot holes that are too glaring, likeable main characters, good work from the film crew on capturing important plot points subtly with the framing they use.... Sure,the genre is being done a lot, but if it's done well, like this one, then I'm happy to get another. The only thing that annoys me is the improbably fashionable outfits and cute crop tops this supposedly self sustainable and eco friendly cult runs around in. The cliff hanger at the end of season 1 is annoying, especially as I worry that the bad review may impact chances of a second season.... a season I REALLY REALLY want to see. It's not as good as the absolutely outstanding Portuguese Netflix original 3% (plot has similarities to both this and hunger games), but it's still a solid foreign language offering on Netflix. If you like exploring dystopias, this is definitely highly recommend!
