Watching the first episode, I was interested in the subject matter and actual news reels from 1982. It wasn't great, but I had hopes it would get better. It didn't.
This "documentary" was much more focused on skewing the actual fear of that event into some sort of manufactured drama. It substituted or embellished the facts of the story with conjecture.
The entire 4th episode was focused completely on the "journalist" making this pile of compost. We are forced to follow him from place to place as he tries to track down the houses where ancillary characters, long deceased, used to live. We are treated to his frustration at being foiled in his noble efforts. It reeks of ego and desperation for relevance. You can almost smell his hair products and Drakkar Noir.
If you must watch this limited series, be sure to count the number of times the interviewees are asked irrelevant, repetitive, asinine, or insulting questions.
The ONLY saving grace is the genuine likability of the victims' family members.

How do you take a cast like this and make such a horrible waste of time? Gah!
There are moments of real genius, and they kept me watching. The humor was appreciated against the backdrop of gore, both insinuated and graphically shown.
The rest is just an endless series of blatantly stupid decisions made by supposedly intelligent characters. This is not a story. It's a giant manipulation, and I resent it. I'm actually angry.
If it had been a book, I'd have thrown it across the room. As it is, 4 hours of TV viewing I'll never get back, all I can do is warn others of the risks. It's not a nice way to spend a day.

I watched these episodes on Discovery+, without commercials.
Each episode centers on a unique region or feature of Patagonia; coastline, mountains, glaciers, forests, etc. We are shown the wildlife, plants and trees, weather, and people of each region. We see the beauty, and the threats posed by global warming and human encroachment. We also see the measures being taken to save the wild places and inhabitants.
The series is beautifully filmed and edited. The narrator, Pedro Pascal, is a wonderful choice. We can savor his calm voice and perfect pronunciation of the names of places and animals. In fact, one of the best aspects of this series is that every scientist, naturalist, advocate, and citizen we meet is from or of that environment. No white saviors here.
I learned a great deal watching this documentary series, and enjoyed myself thoroughly.
