Alma

I binge watched the series, because I really love super natural horror. The tension at the beginning is really wonderful, and there is some very creepy moments with a lot of mystery. There are some wonderful touches, and the creature design is wonderful.

In the middle there are a couple of episodes that drag a little bit more than the rest, but then it picks up again, and the suspension returns. And you see some details have been pretty well thought out.

This Spanish series opens with a group of students are enjoying a school trip in the mountains. As they head home the coach they are travelling encounters dense fog on a winding road. Something goes wrong and the coach crashes; many of the students are killed. One of the survivors is Alma, a girl who after the accident has amnesia. She has no memory of family of friends but has a feeling that something is wrong. This includes her seeing ghostlike apparitions. There is more talk of the supernatural as a friend's grandfather talks of an ancient myths involving a demon that possesses those close to death.

I though this series got off to a great start. We are effectively introduced to key characters before the main story gets underway. There is a great sense of dread as they head through the fog. Following the accident there is the question of who will have survived and just what has happened to them. Things do slow down a bit during the middle of the series but pick up again with some interesting twists as we approach the denouement. The locations, in Asturias region of Spain are great, they add a great sense of atmosphere; beautiful in a rugged way, one could easily believe strange things might happen there. The cast is solid; in particular Mireia Oriol who plays Alma. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to anybody looking for an interesting chiller.

These comments are based on watching the series in Spanish with English subtitles.

I would rate this 7.5 if i could. The show started off good and kept my attention most of the time. I enjoyed the twist, it wasn't something I expected. The overall atmosphere was well done and the horror elements were good in the first half. The crash scene was jarring in a good way, it kinda set the stage for the rest of the show. It did start to get draggy and I found myself forwarding repeatedly, but generally I liked the characters, they didn't feel empty or unreal. The show would be better if it was shortened and made more compact, or if they had more horror elements in the second half like they did in the first.

Really captivating..gd production..the first 6 eps were interesting..the remaining was kind boring..but overall gd..would i watch the nxt season? Yes for sure.

Well written and picturizationio, story is littel bit new, actors did well , views and effects are great.. Great mystery with horror effects. Waiting for next season.
