But concretely, what do we think of Bienvenidos a Eden?
We know the scenario and we ask for more. People stuck on an island as in the series The I-Land, protagonists who are manipulated as in Locke & Key, a mystery to solve as in Open your eyes… A mix of intrigues, surprises and twists. A scenario rather perched, but totally assumed. Scenery that makes you want to go on holiday and that brings us into a dimension that we do not yet know, that of the survival of our species. We can say that the staging is successful and that the shots are well chosen. A breathless series that makes us want to watch it without pause. Amaia Aberastur, reveals herself in the role of the main actress, she shares her emotions, makes us want to fight alongside her. She was awarded the Goya Prize in 2021. Berta Castañe, who plays the role of Gaby, emancipates herself and only surprises us in the evolution of her character. We find Sergio Momo, who has the role of the good guy as in Elite, but we will also discover him nasty, aggressive , lost. Actors who seem to be in total harmony with their roles, like Belinda Peregrín who as an actress and pop singer can do both. A cast that was not selected at random and that will not leave you indifferent. For the future, Zoa is expected to eventually stay on the island to ensure her sister Gaby is safe. We suspect the arrival of new characters and new attachments. The only risk seems to be the increased surveillance and vigilance of the inhabitants of Edén. Only one question: will they manage to leave the island of hell with their lives saved? Haven't you seen the series yet? That's good! Don't hesitate to take a look at the BA. 😉 Trailer Bienvenidos a Edén KLM
