It is not the first time that something similar has happened: a production that is not successful openly, but its landing on streaming platforms comes with great expectation. This has been the case with one of the most popular releases that we can currently find on Netflix.
that one series or movie Not having the expected success on traditional television does not mean that it cannot be achieved on a streaming platform. This seems to have been Netflix’s thinking when it introduced into its catalog One less life in the Canary Islands. A disturbing thriller made in Spain that landed in the catalog of the streaming platform recently and which, since then, has become one of the company’s greatest successes. At the time of writing these lines, in fact, it ranks number 7 among the most viewed series.
However, his time at ATRESplayer Premium and, ultimately, at Antena 3 during the month of April was not equally successful. However, the same has not happened on Netflix. And the plot seems to fit perfectly with the needs of its consumer: a continuous succession of events that hook the viewer.
Five chapters of less than an hour
One of the problems that we viewers often encounter occurs when the series goes on longer than necessary and, in the end, we end up losing the thread of the plot. However, on Netflix we can find a large number of series with just four or five episodes that are perfect to enjoy during the week or binge watch. any weekend. And this is precisely the case of One less life in the Canary Islands.
The series starring Ginés GarcÃa Millán and Natalia Verbeke It is made up of a total of 5 chapters whose average duration is around 50 minutes. So we can see it in its entirety in just over four hours.
A crime thriller
From the first episode, viewers will witness a criminal case that threatens the tranquility of the paradise Canary Islands resort in which the entire plot takes place. Garcia Millan will star as Luis Lacasa, an inspector who has developed an impeccable professional career in Madrid in recent years, but a mistake in one of his last missions has led him to have to accept a transfer to the Canary Islands that, at least in one At first, he was not very willing to accept, but he had no choice.
There he will join Natalia Verbeke, which will star Naira, the resident inspector in the Canary Islands with which you will have to deal, at first, to solve the case. However, and as is usual in the series that we find on Netflix, a chemistry will emerge between the two that will transcend the professional level and in which both will consider how their day-to-day life is going and if, in truth, feelings are emerging that transcend from the professional level.
If to an enveloping plot, we add a certain component in the form of feelings and the paradisiacal landscape on which all the scenes take place, we have the perfect plot to give us a good marathon in the best company.
