Feria: Segredos Obscuros

European settings always work great for mystery stories, especially during the 90s before everything turned global. Story here is about two sisters living in an isolated, conservative town that has a dark secret they keep for few decades. The story has potential and is interesting at times, even though not completely original. However, the acting leave a lot to be desired as the character don't act in a way that make a lot of sense and sometimes are overdramatic and over acting.

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.

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.

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.

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.
