I do not know when it happened and can not identify a spectacle or a specific moment, but much of the content I have eaten on Netflix for a while has now encompassed its television programs and its original movies in the world whole. As Netflix has started to mature in the United States, its growth has accelerated in the rest of the world – with the Streamer pay tens of millions of dollars new investments in the markets like South Korea. This effort also includes Iceland, where a few days ago a few days ago, the streaming giant started its first Original Icelandic series – Katla, a show of 8 episodes beautifully shot around the subglacial volcano holder, Katla .
As from the time of this writing, the series was already one of the most monitored Netflix shows, after cracked the list of the top 10 that the streaming service keeps continuously and arriving right behind the lupine. Not bad for, again, a series that literally did not get out of the starting door and has already collected a fairly strong audience reaction on the rotting tomatoes of the aggregation of journals (83%, to be exact).
From the official description of Netflix for the series: “In Iceland, after the underglacial Katla volcano burst constantly for a whole year, Gríma always seeks his missing sister who disappeared the day when the eruption started. As his hope of ever finding his body is discolored, the inhabitants of the surroundings begin to have unexpected guest visits. There could be something hidden under the glacier that no one could have been planned. “
The coverage of the series was largely positive, with forbes, noting, noting that there is a beauty with aesthetic ratase – and that the series also “tells a brutal and unique tale of some residents in a village almost Desert. With sorrow, depression and guilt. “People in the decision also give accessories to what might look like a surprising choice for a” dormant star “of the series. It would be Bergteinn Björgúlfsson and Árni Filippusson, Katla’s photography directors who present Iceland “in all its fantasy glory, ash color, especially when a volcano is active.”
As we noted in previous positions, some of the most observed shows on Netflix at the moment are international series like this. The other examples include Lupine, the French language series on a thief of Gentleman who has just returned for his second season, as well as work moms. Originally distributed in Canada via CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation), this comedy is built around the following, according to Netflix’s summary: “Maternity leave is over and it is time for these four mothers to return to work while sailing children, chefs, love. And life in the modern Toronto day. “
