Feria: Dunkles Licht

The plot is interesting and pretentious, but several caricatured performances, confusing script and bad effects leave the result far below expectations.

This show was entertaining and kept me watching. The story and mystery unfolds rather well although some 'sister drama' parts in the later episodes were a bit too long for my taste. The Spanish village and scenery are beautiful. This show gives a good insight in cult tactics and how people in agony are easily convinced into occult things using brainwashing. Won't spoil anything so I will just leave you with it's an enjoyable mystery show with a touch of fantasy.

European occult / horror is hit and miss, usually a miss. This was one of the better recent ones. Audio dubbing is a bit awkward so if you can handle subtitles I'd suggest watching it that way.

This 8 episode isn't the usual burner and never drags and it's not as melodramatic as some of the Spanish ones are.

Cast work well together and scenery is really pleasant.

Having said that, you really don't care who lives and dies.

Plot isn't original, the old cult trying to open the door to another realm and others trying to stop it and police not being much help etc. But still it's definitely worth a watch if this is your genre.

I will not say that this is one of the best webseries on NetFlix. If you have watched all other good dark series than you can give it a try. If you have not till now than this series can wait. I found Series like Scream , Sinners better than this. But overall it is worth your time.

I love this kind of show, like Archive 81 another recent Netflix show. However this show tries to be a lot of things and the writing/script needs to be re-organized. It reveals too much too early by the time it reached the second half all the momentum is gone.

First half and second half feels like they are made by different people, first half has a lot of nudity and gore while the second half feels like Stranger Things.

Having said that I'll recommend this show if you like occult horror shows like Archive 81 and Paraiso/Paradise on HBO Max.
