Feria: The Darkest Light

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.

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.

It is a fun watch for horror and scy-fi fans, but the story lacks something. It advances very slowly and explanations are a bit lacking. You end up just accepting what happens without understanding why.

The characters are believable for the most part, but I just couldn't get attached to them.

The monster designs are cool tho.

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.

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.
