    Once again another amazing show from Netflix international. I wanted to binge watch this show just like (Winter Sun - Kis Günesi (TV Series 2016). These two shows are unlike anything I have seen. Amazing Acting, Amazing storyline. The cast well what can I say but superb acting, especially the two busy body little girls. I wish this was a series that had at least 15 years worth of seasons. I can watch and watch this show. Now I have to see if I can buy this on a DVD set or not. I couldn't find Winter Sun available but I would love to have these as a purchase. They are worth the watch and for me to have. I can't talk about the show, you should watch it.I love that this show as well as Winter Sun does not let you know what is about to happen. I like being kept in suspense. Writer, Producer and Director, Amazing work and the Award goes to you all. Thanks

    I know there will be viewers who will complain about unrealistic developments, with tons of situations when you think the plot and monsters will be revealed, only to see that another villain will intervene and stop it (and not only). Oh well, it's tough to go on 7 seasons without downsides, but the truth is that the scenario is solid and the cast is absolutely lovely with excellent actor skills. You'll fall in love with all of them, good and bad guys equally because they really know how to act.Theme is very interesting, because the evilest dark spot shadowing the 20th century that is nazism will haunt us forever. The courage of those kids is kind of unrealistic, but gives us all hope that humanity in us will prevail and we'll keep fighting, disregarding our own persons, against an unfairly threatening evil. Also remember that adolescents are idealistic and optimistic and careless and when you put all these in balance, you don't see their actions as nonsensical. I enjoyed it as probably plenty of other viewers.

    This show is addictive in a very unhealthy way. The plot twists can be as ludicrous as a novella, but it is better prepared. Some of the characters become tiresome, a bit obvious or one-dimensional. You get very quickly invested in the thickening and mysterious plot, so you will watch more just to see what happens, even though there may not always be a quickly developing pace- lots of repetition.Actually, I don't know if this show develops quickly enough or not, there certainly are a lot of twists and turns. I think I am just tired of them all and want some sort of satisfying culmination to occur. This show is worse than crack.

    Netflix has decided for some unknown reason to take El Internado off the air. To be fair they did give me adequate warning, but on Friday I still went to watch it as usual of an afternoon and found that it had disappeared. Sigh. I feel bereft.Anyhow, in memory of this slyly addictive show, I will do a review in its honor. Now at the outset I must say that no one was more surprised than me that I was so hooked, but the fact remains that it was strangely well-written for such a ludicrous premise. That premise being that there is a boarding school (the eponymous El Internado de la Laguna Negra) somewhere in rural Spain which attracts the kids of that country's elite, but there are mysterious events afoot with an abundance of underground passages, missing children from the school's history as a former orphanage, and adults with plenty to hide.There is skulduggery, for lack of a better word, in every episode with breathtakingly foolish actions and impossible coincidences galore. However, to offset all this is the genuine chemistry among the cast and the almost constant thread of humor that lends the proceedings some lifesaving levity. At the center are the group of teenagers, the principal and teachers, the administrator Jacinta, and two staff members, Maria the cleaner and Fermin the cook.(We are to believe there is but one cleaner in a school of 400 students, but that is just one lapse to overlook because you are too addicted.)Full review at:http://devikamenon.blogspot.com/2016/07/watched-el- internado.html#more
