La última noche en Tremore Beach

I am with most reviews here. This could have been way shorter and the For Judy episode was way too long, way too detailed and way too graphic plus it added nothing to the story itself. The plot twist and ending are great, the idea of the whole this is great. Acting was awesome. I think the fact that it was 8 episodes long tarnish the whole thing. All in all, it was a good story and i dont regret watching it but mannnn this could have been shorter. Filming location was sooo beautiful.

As my review who still needs 123 characters at this point so im just rambling i am 74, getting there, 51, i am not giving up. Done!

In my almost 60 years of age, I've never seen a male character in a movie or tv series so pathetic, so unmanly, so annoying, that I wished he was already dead by the second episode. He spends all 8 episodes crying like a little girl, because god only knows, he's the most tormented man alive. His mommy issues make his life so miserable, even when he has a beautiful woman who loves him, and whose life has been much worse than his but you don't see her complaining or crying all over the place. Yes, the ending has an interesting twist, but it takes too long to get there. Half way through the series you already wish for someone to put the protagonist out of his misery. He's just a poor excuse of a man, so weak and useless that is almost impossible to feel empathy for him. The series could have been great if it was told in half the episodes with a stronger lead character.

From the very first scene, I was drawn in by the mystery and the beautiful world created by Oriol Paulo. His choice of camera angles, haunting music, and hints of something dark set a chilling, gripping tone that made me want to keep watching. Paulo's masterful use of foreshadowing is like that of Hitchcock, Godard, or De Palma. He brings his own unique noir style, layered with tension and nuanced visual storytelling. In thid, he closely aligns with Guillermo del Toro, making scenes that are both visually stunning and deeply immersive. In this series pay attention to the many slight, but deliberate inconsistencies (how doors open, wet or dry hair, the changing weather and varied animal behaviors). I also love the pace, neither too fast or slow. As a fan of psychological thrillers, this series resonates perfectly, hitting every note with precision and artistry-keeping me eager for what lies ahead. If you liked The Changeling, you will also enjoy this series.

The cinematography, the locations and the score are something else. Good idea, but extremely drawn out. Episode 3 or 4 I figured out the baddie, was suspecting an episode earlier. I am a fan of Oriol previous work, they were all movies mind you, so would stick to a more contained format. Judy episode in particular was way too long and a hard watch, would get the point across in a 15 minute flashback but oh well. Well acted, well shot and again, I really liked the score which elevated the whole thing. Has all the usual tropes but I think they were handled effectively. It's really hard to fool me, which I don't like and when something genuinely takes me for a ride ( something like Behind her eyes, which was a pleasant surprise) I'm all for it. On that topic I even figured out his Invisible Guest twist, and was disappointed since it was recommended to me as a mindblowing twist, alas. This was not the case here, but the first few episodes kept me intrigued. All in all a solid watch, but too long.

I could't agree more with most of the viewers who thought that it was a dissent story, excellent cinematography, and good acting from the main characters.

But going back and forth with so much unecessary detail, not helping at all for the undrstanding of the story, let alone the pace of the series was really tiresome.

By the 4th episode I caught myself going fast forward in most of the remaining episodes.

Good ending though, after the last two episodes which were really trying (and achieving) to confuse you totally as to what is reality, dreaming, past, future and present. So I guess it was worth it at the end.
