(CASTELLANO) Se deja ver, eso sí. Como miniserie de catástrofes cumple bastante bien con lo básico: tensión, cuenta atrás, efectos llamativos y esa sensación de que todo puede saltar por los aires en cualquier momento. En cuatro episodios entra rápido, no se eterniza y sabe mantener el impulso para que quieras seguir con el siguiente. El problema es que, cuanto más intentas tomártela en serio, más cuesta comprarla. Hay decisiones, reacciones y situaciones que se sienten muy forzadas, como si el guion estuviera más pendiente de empujar el espectáculo que de sostener una mínima credibilidad. Y eso, en una historia así, termina pesando bastante. Visualmente tiene momentos conseguidos. El volcán, el caos, la amenaza natural y algunos efectos están bastante bien resueltos, y ahí está buena parte de su fuerza. Cuando se centra en el desastre y en la tensión inmediata, funciona mejor que cuando intenta venderte el drama humano como algo profundo. También ayuda que no abuse demasiado del melodrama, al menos comparada con otras producciones parecidas. Va bastante al grano y no se recrea en exceso. Pero aun así, no me he terminado de creer casi nada de lo que pasa, y eso hace que la implicación emocional se quede bastante a medias. Al final, me ha parecido una serie entretenida, de esas que ves sin exigir demasiado y que te pueden funcionar si aceptas desde el principio que la lógica va a quedar bastante tocada. Pero cuanto más la piensas, más se le ven las costuras, y eso le resta bastante valor. En conjunto, me ha entretenido más por el componente de catástrofe que por la historia en sí. A ratos es muy inverosímil y bastante torpe en lo dramático, así que se puede ver, sí, pero tampoco da para mucho más. (ENGLISH) It’s watchable, that much is true. As a disaster miniseries, it delivers the basics quite well: tension, countdown energy, striking effects, and that feeling that everything could explode at any moment. In four episodes it gets in quickly, doesn’t drag itself out, and keeps enough momentum to make you want to move on to the next one. The problem is that the more seriously you try to take it, the harder it is to buy into it. There are decisions, reactions, and situations that feel very forced, as if the script were more concerned with pushing the spectacle forward than with maintaining even a minimum level of credibility. And in a story like this, that ends up weighing quite a lot. Visually, it has some effective moments. The volcano, the chaos, the natural threat, and some of the effects are handled well enough, and that is where much of its strength lies. When it focuses on the disaster itself and the immediate tension, it works better than when it tries to sell the human drama as something deep. It also helps that it doesn’t lean too heavily into melodrama, at least compared to other productions of this kind. It moves straight ahead and doesn’t overindulge too much. Even so, I never really believed most of what was happening, and that leaves the emotional involvement only halfway there. In the end, it felt like one of those series you can watch without asking too much from it, and that may work if you accept from the start that logic is going to take quite a beating. But the more you think about it, the more the weaknesses show, and that takes quite a lot away from it. Overall, it entertained me more because of the catastrophe element than because of the story itself. At times it is very implausible and quite clumsy on the dramatic side, so yes, it is watchable, but it does not really amount to much more than that.
