Feria: L'éclat des ténèbres

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.

Decent show. Took a while for them to tell us what was going on for sure. Though one could make early guesses. It wasn't clear for a while if we were dealing with evil of not. As usual it all comes together in the final episodes and satisfaction ensures.

However if a second series doesn't come about, it would be disappointing. Yes, a cliffhanger, but this isn't a new situation.

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.

The idea was there and overall the acting was good but the main character 'Sophia' was extremely frustrating to watch as she was just stupid and stroppy the whole way through. If she wouldn't have been so annoying I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more. The ending wasn't great either- wonder if there will be a season 2.
